EMC Games
EMC games is a bunch of hobby programmers (well, more accurately we are so few you couldn't really call us a bunch) who keeps making games for the fun of it, starting hundreds, finishing only a few (if any). Basically, we have more great ideas than we have ressources. But the few games we actually finished and think worth a download are available at our homepage (for free, of course). Note that we are based in Austria, which is not only an excuse for our not-so-great english but also means that our RPG is in German. We can't really translate it, since it consists almost entirely of jokes and wordplays, and those are REALLY hard to translate.
If you are interested in our great and mighty company, and our other projects besides Metal Hazard, check out the EMC Games Homepage.
Since you probably don't want to check our site there, however, we will provide info on the people working on Metal Hazard right here (you probably don't want to read this either, but we don't care and add this page anyway).
Chris Chiu
He just recently joined EMC Games, other than most EMC-members he is not an almost-life-long friend but a pal of Michael at the technical university. The two were by chance matched there for a team-project exercise, but due to common interests the cooperation has survived the end of this exercise, having Chris joining EMC Games and leading to another team project - Metal Hazard. Since he is composing music as a hobby, he makes a great addition to our team who lacked his own music artist and was thus forced to steal soundtracks for their games whereever they could find them.
Of all the EMC people, he is the most optimistic, not sharing the general self-ironic attitude of the team towards their own productions. His optimism and motivation might make Metal Hazard one of the few ambitious of our projects that actually make it to a real game.
Michael Kusternig
One of the co-founders of EMC (there was not much choice involved, his brother simply delared their game programming hobby to be further known as EMC), he is usually too lazy to do anything that as much as smells like work (game-programming surely does). His evil and oppressive brother, however, who does little else than programming games, forces him to participate in his creations on a regualr basis, involving him in most of the projects of EMC (again with little choice). He likes to design games, which is quite some fun, but when it comes to actually make them, he mostly prefers to leave this to others and play finished ones.
He is also among the more self-ironic and cynical ones of the company (You want proof? Okay: He is the one making this homepage!). However, he is somewhat motivated regarding Metal Hazard and has so far several times descended from his high ideals into hour-long programming- and modelling-sessions for Metal Hazard. Since this game is a project for university, and the only thing that can make him work is not letting down his pals (in this case Chris), this unusual sight of Michael working will probably continue over the next few months.
