In an update recently published on the game’s Kickstarter campaign page, Dex’s developer, Dreadlocks, detailed that Droxler moved to the Prague-based developer from Belgium back in September this year, bringing with him six years of expertise to help out with Dex’s development.

“ Our other big news is that we got a new team member, Axel Droxler, who was lead designer of the critically acclaimed Divinity: Original Sin . He came to Prague from Belgium after six years of game design/quest design for Larian Studios, working on most of the titles from the Divinity series, ” Dreadlocks wrote in its update.
“ Axel has been working with us since September and you will be able to see the results of his work in the next major content update with the new quest batch (expected for mid-December).
