The System Shock Hack Project

"Look at you, Hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?"

About TSSHP

TSSHP Dev Team

... aka The Rogues' Gallery.

This tireless band of fearless hackers are working night and day (well, mostly night, to be honest; even hackers have day jobs) to bring you all the chunky goodness of System Shock and Ultima Underworld updated for the 21st century.

Core team

Jim "hairyjim" Cameron: Main 3D engine, reverse engineer extraordinaire, "someone's got to do it" hacker, general dogsbody.

Christian "firefreak" Haas: Head-up display / MFD, 2D graphics. Basically whatever you see on the screen that isn't "out there" in the main game world. Firefreak also crafted the transparency code for force doors/bridges and transparent critters.

Bryan "bryann" Nolen: All things related to the Sound system.(like music 'n' stuff :)

Other coding, testing and hacking

... aka people who had the sense not to send me photos.
