    And here are three of the people from the Iron Will Studios team at the little office we have in Ipswich, Suffolk, England (I'll see if I can get pictures of everyone else in due course) :

    In order of appearance, top left, Jason Turner - our Graphical Whizz, seen here creating the Jump Gates for in game. He has been responsible for all of the graphics in game to date - he often builds things in 3D then takes pictures of them as it's faster than pixel pushing them in photo shop. (lots of screenies on the Outer Empires website).

    Top right, me, working hard (Ok, so I'm probably talking to one of the beta testers in game) - note the cool KingdomGame poster in the background! :) I work on the back end and middle layer of the game (database, servers) and also the browser front end mainly. Uniquely for this game we're making the same gameplay available from both the iPhone and the Browser in the same universe.

    And Bottom Left, Susie Rowland working on the iPhone version of the game... although this is clearly a staged shot and she has just opened the app to make it look like she's doing something ;) She works primarily on the iPhone version but also does some of the database bits at the back end too.


    If you want to know a little more about the game we're currently developing check out http://www.outer-empires.com - it's a space based MMO, set in a huge universe of 20k star systems.. you can set up your own colonies, do jobs to earn credits, build and customise ships and their modifications, take over system, be a part of a faction (player run/made), amongst a whole lot of other stuff... :) EDIT : I should've said, this isn't an imobster type vampire clone.. bah, here's the video, it'll be easier.


    Hope that gives you a wee bit of an insight into what we do here :)
