People have gathered from top studios to create a small, tight-knit crew with well over a century of industry experience. We draw on our experience shipping best selling and critically acclaimed titles such as: Sly Cooper, Spyro The Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Halo, Jak and Daxter, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Dungeon Siege, No One Lives Forever, and many more.
The company sparked under Dev Madan and Matthew Scott, formerly of Sucker Punch Productions, and Ricci Rukavina, who held creative and production positions at Universal Interactive Studios, Vivendi Games and The Walt Disney Company. The founding team at Loose Cannon Studios embodies 40 years of experience in the electronic entertainment industry and will focus on the development of highly original IPs for a variety of consumers.
Dev Madan, serving as Creative Director and Co-Founder of Loose Cannon Studios, has influenced the entertainment industry with his unique vision of electronic art for 18 years. Dev worked as a freelance illustrator and comic book artist for Dark Horse Comics, Marvel Comics and DC Comics. His career in the comic world also led Dev to co-create the series Young Heroes in Love. Previous to the comics series, Dev helped launch Humongous Entertainment and after the comic series' completion, Sucker Punch Productions. He would eventually lead efforts on the Sly Cooper franchise, which led to the highly successful PlayStation 2 titles Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves.
Technical Director and Co-Founder of Loose Cannon Studios, Matthew Scott has spent over 10 years entrenched in the electronic entertainment industry. He labored in various positions, including time on low-level assembler routines and renderers for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. Matthew would soon rise to game systems programming and game design, eventually assisting in the start of acclaimed development studios Crave Entertainment and Monolith. Matthew spent time on a spectrum of critically-acclaimed titles, such as No One Lives Forever and the Sly Cooper series, more recently lending his expertise to the upcoming PlayStation 3 title, Infamous.

Ricci worked on a string of blockbuster film properties spanning Jurassic Park, Alive and Twister.

His experience and success took Ricci to The Walt Disney Company, where he served as Vice President of Creative/Product Development for several years.
