The fall of 2011 proves to be a fruitful s eason for online games developer Bytro Labs. Just a few weeks after the registration of the millionth player for their strategy browser game Supremacy 1914, the aspiring company announces the signing of two outstanding and experienced new team members: Robert Lühmann was hired as the new art director while Peter Krell could be enlisted for the business development area.

Robert Lühmann has been working as a graphic designer for computer- and console games for almost 10 years. Among his previous professional stops are Neon Studios (Legend of Kay), Zeal (Animal Hospital), Replay Studios (Velvet Assassin) and most recently SnapDragon Games (Battle of the Sexes), where he was the lead artist and art director. At Bytro Labs, he will predominantly be involved with the development of new projects.

Peter Krell is no stranger to the games industry, either. Between 2003 and 2008, he was the publisher and editor-in-chief of GAME FACE, the cultural magazine for computer- and video games. He is also one of the founders of PEOGA (Pan European Online Game Association). Especially in Berlin, he has made a name for himself as a successful event promoter. Since November, he has been leading Bytro Labs' search for cooperation partners. Contact: peter.krell@bytro.com

In a statement, Managing Director Felix Faber was delighted with the new additions: "We are very happy to have the two of them on board. With their great experience they will be instrumental in raising Bytro Labs to the next level in 2012."
