We are a team of 8 with a broad array of experience and shipped titles in varied forms of media from various backgrounds. Among our members are Programmers, Writers, Designers, Audio Engineers, Composers, Artists and Marketing Specialists. Below are brief summaries or our talented members!
Ross
As our Director, Ross manages the team, and is a generalist who works on all areas of the game, but mostly takes care of programming gameplay. He’s worked on a plethora of smaller projects before: Music Production and Game Dev, which you can check out by clicking on his name!

Emma
Lead writer of the team, Emma was the first recruit to the team when Ross realized he didn’t want to actually write a story for the concept he’d come up with. Many of the quirky characters you see in VTA are all thanks to Emma, and she designed almost all of the spells as well!
