Adam Purvis
Adam Purvis
Art Director
Adam is the team's Art Director. His main responsibility is making the environment and getting everything to "work". In his off time Adam likes to sing in the school choir (when he gets time to) and read science fiction novels.
Robert Gervais
Robert Gervais
Associate Producer/Tech Director
Robert yields to "The Hacker's Code" as bugs scatter in his wake. He enjoys writing code, short stories, novels, and shameless plug-ins that evoke perfunctory affections of the malleable-kind. Robert also likes making his readers dog-ear pages in their dictionaries... So, yeah... Enjoy your day.
John Henke
John Henke

Allison Jung
Allison Jung
Lighting Lead and Modeler
Allison is some poor, deluded soul who somehow got it in her head that making video games might be fun. The world has been reaping the consequences ever since. She is an artistic jack-of-all-trades who aims to make unconventional games that are as visually appealing as they are entertaining.
Rachel Haygood
Rachel Haygood
Texture Artist
Rachel grew up loving video games and art, and figured anything that combines the two can't be a bad idea. She enjoys painting and texturing, and anything involving creatures. There are never enough dragons.
Tommy Hanusa
Tommy Hanusa
Senior Designer
Tommy Hanusa is the Senior Designer for the project. His goal is to create content and systems that are both surprising to players and easy for other team members to design with. He is both making levels and helping to manange the other designers on the project.
Russty Scott
Russty Scott
Animator
"Momma always said I was animated! Now I've gone and made it my life." Russty enjoys getting living characters out of nothing, from the rigging to keys-n-curves. When he's not animating he can normally be found on his motorcycle, shooting archery or in some costume. To view Russty's work, visit ironoxidy.com
Raelynn Huenefeld
Raelynn Huenefeld
Visual Development Lead
Raelynn joined the team in the beginning of fall semester. She is the visual development lead of the project, tasked with bringing the aesthetic goals of the team under a common banner with her paintings and illustrations.
Don't talk to her about clowns.
Erin Doherty
Erin Doherty
Visual Effects Artist
The video game and animation industries seemed like an interesting place to be, and one thing Erin really loves is animation, watching it and doing it. She also enjoys drawing, painting, and doing research. When she isn’t working, she can be found knitting, reading, and being overly emotional about giant, transforming robots.
Eric Steigerwald
Eric Steigerwald
Systems Designer
Eric is a game designer! He's also a writer! He thought that those were the same things long ago, and time has taught him that they are very different. So now he loves them both, in their separate ways and in the ways they touch each other. He also loves tabletop RPGs, and he will never apologize for it.
Travis Robinson
Travis Robinson
Narrative Designer
Travis is a member of that illusive, some say mythical, breed of designer; the narrative designer. Only sporadic photographic evidence has been successfully obtained. The only sign any have to prove his existence is the anecdotal raving of the mad and pieces of narrative left behind in the night.
Ant L'Huede
Ant L'Huede
Programmer
