If you have been wondering what happened to Bruce Shelley after Microsoft's execution of Ensemble Studios, we have the answer for you today: he's making stock trading more fun, apparently. One of the founding fathers of Ensemble and a co-creator of the Age of Empire series, Shelley is now serving as an advisor to Kapitall, an online investing company based in SoHo, NYC and Seattle, WA.

So what the hell is Shelley doing? He is advising Kapitall on its next generation investment platform. This platform consist of user friendly research tools, avideo game-like design, and a drag & drop touch interface.

Kapitall founder and CEO, Gaspard de Dreuzy, says that Bruce Shelley's experience in the gaming industry will be invaluable to the company as it adds meta-gaming features to its "unique platform." Kapitall was founded in March 2008 by a team of designers, developers and technologists from companies that include Apple, Bloomberg, Morgan Stanley, ShareBuilder, Pearson, and Electronic Arts.
