Hello there, we would love to introduce ourselves first and foremost before we give you an insight into the development of our upcoming metroidvania game with vibrant creatures in a bit of a chaotic world!

Team Roles:

• Production/Community Manager: Megan
• Lead Designer/Artist: Michael
• Lead Narrative Designer/Artist: Aaron
• Lead Programmer: Oisin
• Lead Audio/Programmer: Tab
• Music: Bradley

It is Megan speaking here, I am the Community Manager and Production Lead of our team. I love doing bits of artwork too so you might see some eventually! I make sure our team is organized as much as possible and I run our social medias and this dev blog, but, don't worry - you will hear from the others! Most of us are in our final year of Game Design in TUD (Technological University Dublin) and are creating this game as part of our final year project.

Our Lead Designer and Artist, Michael, has a wonderful vision for our game and will certainly help bring our monster world to light. You will see his concept art very soon!

Aaron will be working tightly with Michael, being our other talented Artist and also our Narrative Design Lead - ensuring our colorful cast of characters will be ones you won't forget... 

Our Lead Programmer is Oisin, an individual of great focus and diligence, who is already laying the foundations of our game in preparation for our prototype milestone coming up soon!

Tab is our Audio Lead and also holds a Programming role. He has a creative fire and great insight, he will be making the sound effects for our project and works hard alongside Oisin with all the coding behind the scenes.

We also have Bradley, our talented Music person, who will be creating the sound tracks for our metroidvania game! He is not in our college course, however, his broad music knowledge and wonderful character are a brilliant addition to our team.

If you're itching to see how we came up with our idea, do check out our  Early Concepting blog post!
