Meet the team

Here you’ll learn more about the full-time development team behind Star Heretic. Whilst we also work closely with a number of freelancers who do all the awesome stuff that we cannot, at our core we’re just a tiny team of two living and working together out of our home/office in Birmingham, England!

Chel

Creative Director

Chel first came up with the idea of the Kinoko character way back in 2011 – ever since, she’s been continuing to develop him and introduce other characters for him to interact with. She’s our lead artist, in charge of setting the aesthetic for the entire project. On top of that, she’s also our character animator, and wholly responsible for the creation and design of all our characters. Her vision for Star Heretic guides everything we do.

Chel is the project lead of both our projects, Star Heretic and Bovine Excision, and handles the promotion of both.

James

Managing Director

James is the developer for the project, both for the game and the website. He’s been developing websites since 2005, and it’s been his biggest passion ever since. He’s since taken up game development too – because we had no one else to do it for us! As well as handling the development of the game and website, James also styles himself the project’s ‘loremaster’, being particularly interested in developing the lore of Star Heretic and the stories that take place within its universe.

As well as developing Star Heretic, James handles the day-to-day running and finances of Cult of Galaxy.
