Game Credits

I'm making an effort to bring these up to date for 2005. There may be some inaccuracies because of changes in the game, or developers moving on to other things (but we still remember what you did for us!). And of course, many of the contact pages have disappeared (please contact me if you'd like to remedy this).

The following people are or have been active contributors to "The Light Princess" development.

Character 3D Modelling

In 2005, we decided to go with 3D, largely because it's easier. But we will need to create 3D models. So far, it's just Rosalyn Hunter and Terry Hancock working on this, but a real Blender modeller or two could be a big help!

Settings and Props 3D Modelling

We also are looking for a lot of 3D models for the Kingdom of Lagobel. Terry Hancock is presently working on this, but could use help.

Sound

Although we've discussed it a fair amount on the mailing list, no actual sound or music has been contributed to the project. I am currently looking at using soundtracks from some other free-software games as a temporary track for demos and the like, but some original music would be a fantastic boost to the project.

Special Thanks

The following people are not actively involved with "The Light Princess," but deserve mention for software they wrote or essential consultation on game design and implementation issues.

Jeff Waddell	Without his Linux Kids' Games project and mailing list, we would probably never have gotten the idea to do the Light Princess.
Doug Loss	One of the originators of the adventure game development thread on the Kid Games' list that led to proposing "The Light Princess". Contributed a number of early design ideas.
Joseph Strout	Original Author, Python Universe Builder.
Bernhard Herzog	Author, Skencil (used to be called "Sketch"). Consulting and help with Skencil Animation extensions for AutoManga.
R. Timothy Edwards	Author, Xcircuit. Consulted on using xcircuit for design and automatic coding of scene layouts. Added new features to support this use.
Ingo Ruhnke	Extensive consultation on game engine issues. Demonstrated viability of vector-cel graphics for game graphics.

Inactive or Never Active

The following people were listed in the credits file, but have no significant content on the site or in the game. Some of them did help us to work out our ideas on the mailing list, or contributed to software that we are no longer using (but did consider):

Anders Lindstrom	Author, SDL Graphics Extensions (SGE) This was originally going to be used in AutoManga, but we are planning to use PyGame instead.
Sylvain Martel	Was going to contribute some music in 2001, but Various music for game (planned).	Home Page
David Godbout	French website maintainer (in 2001). Miscellaneous content translation. Inactive. The French website was kind of a failed experiment -- we're only committing to having site content in English now.	SF Profile
Lise Kohan	French content translations (new, March 2001). (Same note).	N/A
Julien Claassen	Consulting on sound design for game and engine considerations. Music? Presently inactive.	e-mail

Selected Curriculum Vitae

Rosalyn Hunter
Rosalyn is the primary author of the script and text for "The Light Princess" game. She selected the text of "The Light Princess" by George MacDonald, and has developed a strategy for adapting it into an adventure game design. She is an amateur writer with a strong interest in fantasy literature as well as an avid adventure game player. She has wanted to develop an adventure game for a long time!

Terry Hancock
Terry is a long time science fiction and fantasy art fan, with some amateur art experience. He will be primarily responsible for game backgrounds, logos, layout, storyboards, and other incidental art for the game. He will be acting as "director" or "gatekeeper" for submissions -- trying to keep a consistent "look and feel" to the game.
