My real name is David Wessman. I worked on the entire X-Wing series of space combat simulator games - first as lead tester, writer and mission designer (on X-Wing), and eventually as Gameplay & Story Lead on X-Wing Alliance. See the David Wessman article for more details. I am currently a lecturer in game design and production at Breda University of Applied Science in the Netherlands, and am the senior producer on In The Black, a hard science fiction space combat simulator in development by Impeller Studios.
As time (and memory) allows I hope to provide additional information on those games.
