San Francisco -- Zynga, a San Francisco-based developer of social games for platforms such as Facebook, MySpace and the iPhone, said on Tuesday that it will open its first East Coast office in Baltimore, housing 12-15 game designers, web developers, artists and producers. The company said that the office, to be led by newly appointed chief designer Brian Reynolds, will focus on creating social network games with a strategic emphasis. Reynolds, an 18-year industry veteran, played key roles in founding game studios Firaxis Games and Big Huge Games, and his videogames have sold over six million copies worldwide. Zynga's titles include Texas Hold’Em Poker, Mafia Wars, YoVille, Vampires, Street Racing, Scramble and Word Twist. The company last July raised $29 million in a new round of funding, co-led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Institutional Venture Partners (IVP).
