Farhan Khan I'm a technology enthusiast and a hobby game developer.

I've been into programming and web development since the age of 12; Game Development is a recent interest, that is, when I first came across the SDL library in 2009. I'm basically into the programming part and a little bit of game design. Art, however is not my cup of tea.

Vidhvat Madan A student of Computer Science and an aspiring game developer, I spend most of my time designing and programming small games on my own quite a few of which get published for everyone to enjoy.

I also like to read and write about games and game development in general.

Other than that, if I'm not wasting my time debugging ugly code, I'm either lost in some fantasy world hunting for loot, or spraying bullets at random blokes on the internet.
