FEDERATION 2 STAFF BIOGRAPHIES

BELLA

Bella is the goddess of Fed - she who created the universe and whose ministrations keep the stars strolling along on their appointed courses, with only a very few collisions.

Her green skin is the natural mutation seen in all natives to the planet Rigel, from whence she hails. She is usually found lurking in the Lucky 7 bar on Earth.

In real life, Alan is ibgames' chief game designer and heads all development projects. From originally designing Federation over 10 years ago, he's gone on to design and develop a variety of multi-player as well as single player games.

Alan has extensive management, publishing and software design experience. He's a member of the British Standards Institute C++ panel. His degree in sociology is probably one of the reasons all ibgames emphasize communication, and create real cyberspace societies. Alan has been known to refer to himself as the world's only practicing sociologist!

Alan likes good wine, neat programs and wargaming. He reads extensively and likes a variety of music particularly blues/rock. He has significant interests in social welfare and takes an active part in his real world community.
