Andrew French – Programmer

Andrew has been programming for more than a decade.  Starting as a hobby programmer from a young age, he grew to love working on games.  Particularly, he enjoys the challenge that goes into finding unique solutions to software issues.  He is currently pursuing a degree in interactive, realtime simulation.

Outside of programming games, Andrew enjoys playing games.  With whatever time permits, he enjoys trying out new genres and formats.

Shannon Frechen – Artist

Shannon has been an artist for a couple of decades.  She began working in fine arts in painting and ceramics, but due to her love of video games was drawn to creating for them as well.  She enjoys translating these art skills into their digital counterparts. 

Shannon has been fortunate enough to work with many talented people on such games as Chuck Csuri’s ScatterTiles and with Multivarious on their games Hatch-It!, and No Mercy. 

Shannon loves playing tabletop games and video games, and is thrilled to be able to continue finding new ways to create in the digital space.
