We thought it would be a good idea for you to get to know the team better, so we compiled some short "bios" on the team. The team is currently primarily made up of members of the Train2Game forum and almost all of them are doing either the Designer or the Developer course from Train2Game. The calibre of the people in the team is high and they are definitely the right people for the job. So without further adieu, its time to meet the team.
Lead Designer
Kevin Tapping from South London, He has had a passion for games for more than 25 years, And recently started the Video Games Design Course run by Train2Game. He has always written story's and short books for Children and has now turned his creative nature in to writing the Background story for Soul Wars and Heading up Lead Design for the Soul Wars Project.
Senior Designer
Dan Newrick is 21 and lives in sussex, he has been designing games as a hobby ever since he played the Master System, around 13 years ago. He has no industry experiance, but his determination and passion got him promoted to Senior Designer on the Soul Wars project!
Designer
Marc Kavanagh is 21, he was born in England and currently reside in a place called Walton-on-Thames. He has had a passion for games since he was young child. At the moment he calssifies himself as a "semi-beginer" but states he is learning new things every day; so it wont be too long until he becomes extremely experienced. RPG's and FPS games are his vice's, and being a part of the Soul Wars team is a great experiance, which he has focused all of his efforts in to so far. He is currently a Train2Game student enrolled on the Designer course.
Designer
Simon Weston was born and raised in Greater Manchester, England. He has been an avid gamer for 15 years across all genres. He has always had a passion for games and designing games. Since starting the Games Design course at Train2Game, he has gone from strength to strength, getting involved in many projects and is very proud to be part of the Soul Wars design team.
Lead Developer
Quinton Delpeche was born in South Africa and now lives and works in Manchester, England. His 25 years experience playing pen-and-paper role playing games has given him a passion for the genre and allowed him to come up with original concept. His 13 years in the software development industry gives him the necessary skills to bring the concept to reality as the Lead Developer.
Senior Developer
Sam Welsh is 21, born & bred in Northampton. Currently a Train2Game Student on the Developers Course. His new found experience being a lead developer and founder at OD24/7 and his passion for games of which he's been playing since Sonic 1 hit the Mega-Drive, makes him well suited to be a part of the Soul Wars team. He is always being open to new or different ideas from anyone, and this makes him fully aware of all the challenges ahead of him on the Development Team Of Soul Wars.
Well that is the background on the primary members of the team so far. The team is performing an awesome job and we are currently recruiting more Artists and Modellers, unfortunately these seem to be very rare these days ... but hopefully that will change in the near future.
