Paul MacArthur is both co-founder and President of Human Head Studios, although most of his time is spent on technology programming. Originally from Gillett, Wisconsin, Paul grew up gaming on his TRS-80 Color Computer, and was inspired to start programming after playing Pac-Man at various arcades. Paul first began coding in BASIC and C, while playing classics like Telengard. He earned his degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh before going on to program for Raven Software. Paul is excited by the advancements in processing and memory that make bigger and better game designs achievable. He is currently focused on our free-to-play MMO, Survived By, working especially on dungeon generation and the world’s tile system. Outside of work, Paul likes to cook and spend time with his family.
