Our Team

Jason Newman (Art, Game Design, Programming)

Jason has been making games for his friends, including Dan and Craig who lived across the street from him since childhood. It started with sidewalk chalk adventure games and roleplaying inspired by Zelda. Over time he created pencil and paper games, D&D campaigns, and video games with RPG Maker, the Warcraft III World Editor, and eventually Game Maker. Now he is putting everything he has into this project with the hopes of being able to develop games full time. His personal website can be found here.

Craig Collver (Music and Sound)

Craig has been playing drums since he was a kid, and making music as a hobby for more than a decade when he started making music for his own skate videos. Now he is making some amazing music for Akurra and hopes to make more music for future games. He has enjoyed the challenge of making thematic music that is outside his normal style. His Sound Cloud can be found here.

Dan Collver (QA)

As the earth spins through time, video games have been a prominent hobby for Dan. He finds the beauty in games and appreciates the visual art, animation, music, lore, and overall feel. If he finds that a game has no soul, he will quietly place the controller on the table and say, "’Ight, Imma head out.” He has a strong opinion about games, but he is fair in his analysis. Dan also enjoys speedrunning, and has world record speedruns in the SNES/Super Famicom game, Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse. Dan is now the lead game tester for Akurra. He provides input and ideas while finding speedrun routes and bugs. If Dan loves Akurra, there's no doubt... So will you!
