DAVE GILBERT has been interested in adventure games ever since 1986, when his mother made the mistake of buying him a copy of Wishbringer. In 2001 he took his first dip into game creation in when he discovered the Reality on the Norm Project and wrote his first short game. Since then, he has authored over six successful freeware games, including 2004's award-winning Two of a Kind. In 2006, he turned his hobby into a fulltime career and founded Wadjet Eye Games.
CHARLES JOSEPH PRATT is a freelance game designer working in New York City. His most recent work was as Level Designer for Adult Swim’s Viva Caligula. He is also the co-founder and Game Designer of Situated Games, whose social networking game Casablanca won the most recent Digital Incubator Grant from MTVu and Cisco Systems.
