My name is Harel Eilam. For the last four years I have been working in the game industry in a number of positions.

Locally I was the store manager and website creator for Freak, Israel largest media outlet. I helped design several computer games, among them Master of Orion III. I did marketing research and consulting for several software companies and worked as a freelance journalists at Israel largest gaming magazines and sites.

Currently I am working on Dirigible Studios (mind you, a very preliminary site), a new enterprise I have co-founded two years ago. Our aim is to create a totally revolutionary company in the gaming industry - a company that specializes in developing concepts and stories, instead of doing all the production in house. The drift toward specializing studios is just one of the changes the gaming industry is undergoing. We are currently in negotiation with several compnies over our first project.

My hobbies include gaming (naturally :-) ), writing (science fiction and fantasy), and an assortment of truly silly ventures.
