About Pandora's Sphere

Pandora's Sphere was formed as a student group for Cornell University's CIS 3000: Intro to Computer Game Design course in January 2009. Some of the original members from the team wanted to take the advanced course, CIS 4002: Advanced Projects in Game Design, and the team acquired a few new members.

Sean Cretella, Project Manager, Programmer
Contact: sac76@cornell.edu

Sean Cretella Sean is an undergraduate studying Computer Science at Cornell University. Unlike many other Computer Science majors, his favorite part about the subject is actually not Math. He has always had a passion for Computer Graphics. In addition to being the lead programmer for Accursed, he has also contributed to the artwork for the interface design and special effects. Sean has been a hardcore Nintendo gamer for his entire life, and still owns the original NES and Game Boy (which both work if you bang them against the floor enough times). Of course, he's not completely blind to awesome games on other platforms, and also enjoys the Final Fantasy Series as well as TimeSplitters.
