The Team

Xsera is developed by, and is currently the sole project of, Brainpen Software. We are a small group of indie developers currently dedicated to porting Ares to Mac OS X and beyond!

Brainpen Software Is...

Alistair "prophile" Lynn

Scott "GameFreak" McClaugherty

Scott is another lead dev who has been programming for around five years. He is currently attending Virginia Commonwealth University studying Computer Science.

Adam "adam_0" Hintz

Also a lead developer, though not as experienced as Alistair, Adam says that this is a great learning experience. He also helps to maintain the Xsera website. Xsera will be Adam's first published game. Adam also attends California Polytechnic State University and aims to get a degree in Computer Science.

Nick "nfreader" Farley

The organizational brains of the operation. He has also generously provided hosting and support for the Xsera website. Nick is a member of the Xenos team as well.
