Outsourcing Character Artist

Yocale.ai appoints former Electronic Arts CTO Marija Radulovic-Nastic to Advisory Board as Data and Intelligence Advisor. Radulovic-Nastic brings more than two decades of experience scaling AI and engineering at one of the world's largest interactive entertainment companies. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 2, 2026 - TheNewswire - Yocale.ai Inc. (CSE: YAI), an AI-powered operating system for the global beauty and wellness industry, today announced the appointment of Marija Radulovic-Nastic, former Chief Technology Officer of Electronic Arts, to its Advisory Board as Data and Intelligence Advisor. The appointment reinforces the central role of applied AI in Yocale.ai's product strategy and long-term platform roadmap. Radulovic-Nastic served as Chief Technology Officer of Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) from 2022 to 2025, capping a 21-year career at EA leading the engineering and applied research organizations behind some of the world's most widely played interactive entertainment experiences. Earlier at EA, she held the roles of Senior Vice President of Development Technology and Solutions and Vice President of Central Development Services. She is currently CEO of Adriatic Intelligence Group, where she advises boards and executive teams on AI strategy, technology governance, and enterprise adoption. "Marija led large-scale engineering, data, and applied AI capabilities in one of the world's most demanding consumer technology environments," said Aydin Asli, Chief Executive Officer of Yocale.ai. "EA reaches hundreds of millions of players, with AI threaded through every layer of the experience. That is the operating mindset we want shaping how Yocale.ai turns the underlying Yocale platform's decade of operating foundation into practical intelligence that beauty and wellness businesses feel in their day-to-day. Her involvement raises the bar for what we build next." "In beauty and wellness, the craft is the business," said Marija Radulovic-Nastic. "What drew me to Yocale.ai is simple. Yocale builds the business around people. This is one of the largest service economies in the world, built on relationships between operators and the clients they serve, and for years it has been digitized at the surface while the intelligence layer underneath has been missing. Yocale.ai is rebuilding the category around that intelligence, with AI built around the people doing the work so the team stays focused on what they are great at. When you do that well, the platform stops being a tool the operator picks up and starts being the infrastructure the industry runs on. That is the future of applied AI in service industries, and it is the kind of company I want to be helping build." As Data and Intelligence Advisor, Radulovic-Nastic will work closely with Yocale.ai's executive team on the Company's AI and data strategy, applied research priorities, and technology assessment of acquisition opportunities. The Company expects to continue expanding its Advisory Board as part of its growth and technology strategy.

'00 James Bond game nearly killed Call of Duty before it was even an idea. Published Apr 9, 2026, 7:35 AM EDT Jack Coleman (He/Him) is a News Editor from Ireland. This is his third full year in games media, having previously worked freelance for various outlets, including DualShockers and NME. A lifelong gamer, Jack is primarily interested in RPGs and narrative experiences. He's also been playing League of Legends for a decade, unfortunately. Remember James Bond: 007 Nightfire? It was a follow-up to 007 GoldenEye - one of the most legendary first-person shooters ever - and its sequel, The World Is Not Enough. Nightfire was published by Electronic Arts, who were looking for a partner to port the console version to PC. In an interview with writer Cade Onder, Sledgehammer Games co-founder and EA veteran Michael Condrey spoke about how EA went about finding a partner to port 007: Nightfire - a decision that he reckons may have had an understated impact on the eventual creation of the Call of Duty series (nice spot, IGN). EA passed over 2015 for the port of 007: nighfire. "Eventually, in the series order we were working on a title called Nightfire. We were looking for a PC developer. Now this would've been 2001, 2002. We were shopping the game for PC developers who could come in and take our console game - we were focused on consoles at that time - and deliver a PC version. And there were several interesting PC developers we talked to; one of them happened to be Vince [Zampella] and Jason [West]," Condrey revealed. Zampella and West were working at 2015 Inc, the studio responsible for the acclaimed Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, another game published by Electronic Arts. The studio needed funding and were searching for their next project, but EA ultimately chose Gearbox to port the game. Talk about shooting your shot. Sep 4, 2025 The PC port of 007 Nightfire, developed by Gearbox, wound up being infamously awful. Perhaps this contributed to EA's decision to bring the development of Medal of Honor in-house, perhaps not. Either way, EA's partnership with 2015 ended, which led to the studio signing a deal with Activision to create the Call of Duty franchise. "They wanted the game and we went with a different PC developer. And you want to talk about a weird multiverse... we met with them, walked through the process, did the due diligence; had we hired Vince and Jason and 2015 to do James Bond PC, who knows what? That's a weird moment," Condrey muses. Eventually, Condrey would reunite with the pair to co-develop Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with Sledgehammer Games, a studio he founded in 2009 with Glen Schofield.
