"Bringing Jon Shafer onto our team is exciting for all of us there's probably nobody here who hasn't personally played and enjoyed his work," said Johan Andersson, EVP of Creative Direction at Paradox Development Studio, in a statement. Shafer raised $106,000 for At The Gates' development on Kickstarter, and he will continue making the game separate from his new duties at Paradox Interactive.
