"Dan designs, writes and produces our games. He originally came from a professional background in digital art, before returning to his lifelong obsession with games as he realised they are far more exciting and creative and interesting than anything going on in the contemporary art scene. Plus you get crowbars, shotguns, zombies and spacecraft. In his other life, he's a Reader in Computer Games at the University of Portsmouth, where he teaches game design and supervises doctoral students studying all kinds of stuff about games. His love of S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Metro2033 and other East European FPS games is legendary. " - thechineseroom about Dan
