Kellee Santiago, co-founder of thatgamecompany, has officially joined Ouya team, and will be leading the lead developer relations. They are calling her as OUYA’s DBF (Developer’s Best Friend).

“OUYA gets it. This is the first console company that really understands how important it is to remove the barriers to development. By freeing up the development process, OUYA is opening up new doors in console gaming,” she said.

Ouya CEO Julie Urhman revealed why she was hired: “We’ve been looking for someone to lead our outreach to developers, someone who really “gets” how developers work, someone who can help devs bring their most creative, exciting work to OUYA.”
