My name's Douglas, and I'm 19. I'm studying Software Engineering at Edinburgh University, and in my spare time I'm an avid gamer and amatuer programmer. I've been writing games as far back as I can remember, although I've never released anything before. I'm also an OpenOffice.org developer, and I'm working on a module for Crystal Space, an open source 3D game engine. Outside of coding, I play far too much CounterStrike, and until recently played for a clan in the Wireplay league (not that I'm any good, mind - just obsessed). Oh, and I've joined a cult.
STH:FF has been being worked on if I have a spare hour amongst all this for about a year.

James is my younger brother, and is the series' MIDI artist. He's joining me at Edinburgh Uni later this year - he's doing Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (we're a right pair of geeks, eh?). He's also a talented musician, and plays the guitar and the flute as well as composing. You can sample his work in all it's glory in the music section.

We're also looking for new team members, because ideally we want to release an episode a month, and that's a big ask for just the two of us. If you're interested in joining, e-mail me at douglas.gresham@bigfoot.com.

People wanted:
Level Designer: Level design takes up more time than anything else on this project (for me, at least). If we're going to be able to get episodes out monthly, and make each one suitably individual that it's worth playing, then I could really use some help with this.
Concept artist: I'm pretty awful at this, to be honest. Anyone who could help out with logos, promotional graphics and other graphical odds-and-sods would be greatly appreciated.
Sprite/Background Artist: I'm fairly handy at this, but I've a feeling the volume of work on this might get a bit too much for just me. Anyone who's any good at Advance style graphics would be great.
Storyboard Editor: I've already written the majority of the 25 episodes, but having someone else's opinion couldn't hurt. This is a fairly light job, but I'd appreciate someone who's got some knowledge of SatAM and Fleetway if at all possible.
