Here you'll find links to the websites or blogs of people who helped to get Squar going. While a lot of them concerns general (XNA) programming stuff, I also included two links of my dear art monkey Christian, as well as the website of Sabrina Sterling, who was responsible for the voice acting in Squar. I also want to mention Shawn Hargreaves explicitely, whose blog allowed me to easily understand complex matters of game programming. Thanks, Shawn!!
