Danny
Day
|
Danny Day still enjoys telling people he's a game designer far too
much. He has yet to apologise for accidentally staring Game.Dev all
those years ago (some believe he never will) and currently runs QCF
Design in the hope of producing awesome games that you'll enjoy playing. Don't talk to him about education systems, procedural generation or games as art if you value your time. [Articles]

Van Wyk
Louw
|
Van Wyk Louw is more than just a man. He is half-man, half-amazing, half-witted and half-baked. If you're worried that four halves do not make a whole, the answer is that it adds layers. Like an onion, or an ogre. VanWyk is also half-ogre.

de Sa

Code cruncher, word wrangler, gamer and hobby designer, Claudio likes to crush zombies, shoot zombies, slash zombies, and otherwise effect the lamentable lynching of the less-than-living legions. When his time isn't dominated by dealing with the deceased, he'll be experimenting with crazy game ideas, or be otherwise crafting things. [Articles]

Quinton
Bronkhorst
|
Quinton is a designer and random rambler that really likes referring
to himself in the third person. That should make you wonder: is it
Quinton writing this, or perhaps some objective third party? You will
never know. In unrelated news: Quinton is awesome and attractive and everyone wants to marry him. Facts.

Jurgens

Etherington-Smith

Herman
Tulleken
|
Herman Tulleken is a game developer co-founder of Plinq. He thinks computers are a necessary evil to make games, and sees frying a CPU or two in the process as a worthy sacrifice.

Ernest
Loveland
|
The zombie of the team, edg3 is kept in dark rooms (much like engine coders) most of the time, just to keep up with the social norm. He constantly takes up projects that are too big for him, in the hopes that, one day, zombies will be recognised as people! [Articles]

Megan
Hughes
|
Megan Hughes, a psychology student, occasional writer and one time companion cube maker, is really just making it all up as she goes along. With a tendency to make fan-games and having recently taken a special interest in board- and card- game design and play, she's a quirky contributor that we like to keep around. Her blog isn't half-bad either. [Articles]

Jonathan
Hau Yoon
|
Born an Asian stereotype, Jonathan emerged from the womb with an abacus in one hand and a textbook in the other. After completing a BSC, his heart kicked him in the face and put him through two-thirds of an art degree before he left with a diploma to work in game development. He currently works as a game art generalist and technical artist at Luma Arcade, but also makes art for indie games on the side. His heart is now happy. And his bank account will be too, one day!
