I am David Hawkins the owner of EXIENT and the article you are basing your change on is not factually correct. It was written by the Oxford Mail to big up Charles Chapman's (an Oxford University Graduate) involvement in EXIENT. The facts are EXIENT formerly Game Quest was formed by David Hawkins and it's David Hawkins whom observed Charles work and initially tried to sign him at the publisher he worked for and then invited him to join. Don't believe evertything the press publishes. |
