Holger is a senior software engineer and software architect working for a company specialized in the energy market. As a kid he got his first Commodore 64 and besides playing a lot of games, he made his first experiences with the programming language ‘Basic’ and wrote his first simple text and graphic adventures, but none of them should ever see the light of the day.

In the late 90's he and his former girlfriend went to the CeBIT, the largest and most internationally recognized computer expo. Upon leaving, one exhibitor gave a box to them as a gift. On the front cover it showed ``Under a killing moon``? The next few months they spent night after night in the office of Holger’s father using his ``powerful`` 486 33-Mhz Computer, playing their first Tex Murphy game.

During the Kickstarter Campaign for Tesla Effect, because Chris Jones mentioned that BFG were using the Unity Engine, Holger thought it would be great if someone would remake one of the older games. In early 2014 he started to work on recreating Tex's Office and got his first experience with Unity. After creating the entire Chandler Ave, the main street where Tex's office is located, his goal was to find a team worldwide with the same passion for the series to create a game, a remake of one of Tex's older cases.

The Team, formally called ``The Poisoned Pawns``, was founded in early 2015, and began work on recreating the ``Overseer” game. During the development they decided to change the team name, and Chaotic Fusion was born.

Being a programmer in his regular job, Holger was happy that someone else could take over producing so he could focus more on new grounds, thus becoming the design lead and level designer of the project.

Darren taught himself to program on an Amstrad CPC464 when monochrome monitors were all the rage. He spent his high school years writing text adventure adaptations of Fighting Fantasy novels since all they taught at his school was how to use Excel and Word. Upon graduating high school he spent some time learning computer languages that have now become irrelevant after the Y2K bug came and went. Earlier endeavours also included writing community tools to assist in the creation of fan-made cutscenes for LucasArts' Dark Forces.

His love for FMV adventure games influenced his career path that saw him gain a Bachelor of Contemporary Arts where he began working in the Australian Film and TV industry in the lighting and camera fields Under a Killing Moon had a direct influence in this decision. He also holds a degree in Business Programming, an unfinished degree in Computer Science and a WIP degree in Game Design and Development.

A member of the Tex Murphy community forums for well over a decade, it was this involvement that led him to being involved in the creation of The Poisoned Pawn when Project Lead Holger put the call out for volunteers to help with a side project he was working on, and what started as a remake of Tex Murphy: Overseer then led to The Poisoned Pawn.

``The best part about working on this project is that we have these ideas of such immense scope and we are all willing to push ourselves to make it happen. Being a small team has never been an obstacle and in some way allows us the freedom to really ensure we make a truly visionary Tex Murphy adventure game that the players will hopefully really enjoy.``

Karen studied Multimedia & Communication techniques - which covered a full scope of everything computer and design related (software: photo and video shooting/editing, webdesign, Illustrations both 2D and 3D, programming; hardware: electricity/electronics and PC-hardware). During that time she did 3D modeling, as a hobby. Her plan was to make a fully furnished villa (designing furniture and all the other household objects).

Karen was then approached by Holger about remaking a Tex Murphy game. This would provide her a fantastic opportunity for 3 key reasons: It allowed her to resume her 3D modeling, give her the opportunity to work on a full game title, and participate in a franchise (Tex Murphy) that she had followed for years, as a fan.

Growing up, Karen played adventure games with her family, competing against a neighbor and his friends from college. ``I really remember those times with pleasure: taking notes, searching, puzzling, ...trying some luck. From the games we played, Tex is the one that really stood out``.

Now that she has gone from gamer to designer in the gaming realm, it has been a really is a great experience: working on this project and seeing content come together. ``It just makes me so happy being part of this project.``

Mat was first exposed to the world of Tex Murphy at the age of 9 years old, when his brother introduced him to the Access software classic 'Under a Killing Moon'. The Tex Murphy games helped to shape his appreciation for gaming, and the Adventure Game genre in particular. So much so that he began studying design, visual effects, and film at the University of Technology, Sydney.

After graduating, he became a freelance visual effects artist and music composer for various film and television projects. It wasn't until 2012 when the old Access Software team (now Big Finish Games) announced they were creating a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new Tex Murphy title that Mat decided he would take his skills down the gaming avenue.

Putting his experience to work, he created a series of short videos to help promote the Kickstarter campaign for Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure. These caught the attention of the Big Finish Games staff, who hired Mat as the lead Visual Effects Artist and VFX Supervisor on the game.

Shortly after the release of Tesla, Holger approached Mat with the idea of doing a 'Tex Murphy: Overseer' remake, and Mat began offering his skills in the video production side, as well as acting as a liaison between Big Finish Games and the Poisoned Pawn team. But as the scope of the project grew, Mat (along with the rest of the team) took on greater responsibilities, thus forming: Chaotic Fusion.
