Several months ago we reported that the Austin-based game developer Heatwave Interactive had secured $7.5 million in venture capital funding. This week the developer announced who was going to be handling all that money. Patrick Goodwin, formerly the CFO and Treasurer of Valve, has been named as the new CFO of Heatwave.

Also announced as joining the team is Paul Fullwood, formerly of the now defunct Hasbro Interactive, who will be Heatwave's senior VP of business development. Also Jenny Bendel, formerly the marketing manager of ArenaNet. has joined Heatwave as its director of marketing. Heatwave has a number of unannounced game projects in the works but the first isn't expected to be released until 2010.
