Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.

According to gamesindustry.biz both Frank Sagnier and Rashid Varachia are stepping down from their roles at Codemasters at the end of July.
The news comes four months after Codemasters were purchased by EA.
Codemasters SVP of product development Clive Moody and SVP of publishing Jonathan Bunney will lead Codemasters going forward as a part of the EA Sports studio group, while Slightly Mad will also become an EA Sports studio (though they keep their CEO – Ian Bell).
It’s difficult to know what this means or how it changes anything, but if this wasn’t their choice you have to always wonder what exactly they did wrong in steering Codemasters to become something EA saw such value in.
