Bigpoint hires Farmville producer to help bolster its own farming game

Newsbrief: Casual game company Bigpoint is looking to build the next Farmville -- and the studio has hired an ex-Farmville producer to help them do that. Varun Nagendra was previously producer on Farmville and Castleville at Zynga. He has now been hired as producer on Farmerama, Bigpoint's own take on the farming game genre. Of course, Zynga has continued to push the future of Farmville, including the launch of a sequel earlier this year.
