Rune was a fantastic game, Opus131, since you mentioned Hexen and Heretic, I think the following information would be interesting to you, taken from the Human Head website:
Ben Gokey, Programmer/Co-Founder:
"Ben is a long time veteran of the game industry, having begun his career with Black Crypt for the Amiga. Ben's keen game sense and coding skills are featured across the gamut of Human Head games. Ben previously worked on the following titles: Hexen II, Hexen, Heretic, and Black Crypt, Rune, Rune-Halls of Valhalla, and Rune Viking Warlord."
Chris Rhinehart, Programmer/Co-Founder(Project leader on Prey from Human Head's side):
"Chris another veteran of the game industry, specializing in providing fantastic game features and effects code as well as serving as Project Lead on a variety of games. Chris was a co-founder of the company, and has worked on the following titles: Rune, Rune- Halls of Valhalla, Blair Witch Volume 2 (Installer), Mageslayer, Take No Prisoners, Hexen, Heretic, Necrodome and Super Duelin' Minivans."
Jim Sumwalt, Artist/Co-Founder:
"Jim puts his years of experience to good use as a level designer, concept artist, modeler and animator. He has a string of titles to his credit, including: Rune Viking Warlord, Rune, Rune- Halls of Valhalla, Hexen II, Take No Prisoners, Mageslayer, Hexen, Heretic, Necrodome, Cyclones, Bioforge, and Shadowcaster."
Paul MacArthur, Programmer/Co-Founder:
"As a long-time veteran of the gaming industry, Paul's duties are split between lead programming and serving as President of the company. The 'teacher' provides Human Head Studios with a blistering array of technologies and the tools to make them sing. His previous projects include: Rune Viking Warlord, Rune, Rune- Halls of Valhalla, Take No Prisoners, Mageslayer, Necrodome, Hexen, and Cyclones."
Shane Gurno, Artist/Co-Founder:
"Shane is a 3D modeler and a co-founder of Human Head. His previous titles include: Rune, Rune: Halls of Valhalla, Rune: Viking Warlord, Rune: Gold, Hexen II, Necrodome, Hexen, Heretic, Cyclones, Bioforge, and Shadowcaster."
Ted Halsted, Artist/Co-Founder:
"Ted is the art manager for the company, as well as a level designer and brilliant concept illustrator, bringing the Human Head Studios designs to life through his great skill with a pencil and page. He is an able veteran of the game industry, having worked on the following titles: Rune Viking Warlord, Rune, Rune- Halls of Valhalla, Take No Prisoners, Mageslayer, and Hexen II. Before joining the game industry, he was an artist for Marvel Comics on Venom."
Brian Shubat, Animator:
"Animating flip-books since the age of 12, this Madisonian switched to computer animation when it became commercially viable in the early 90's. Animating in 3-D for games when home PC's could take the hit. Earlier credits include: AD&D Core Rules Vol. 1, Hexen 2, Heretic 2, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast."
Greg Barr, Level Designer:
"Hailing from the far shores of Scotland, Greg crossed the Atlantic to work at Raven Software on Heretic 2, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, Soldier of Fortune, and Soldier of Fortune 2 before crossing town to join Human Head."
Jeff DeWitt, Animator:
"Jeff's role as animator for Human Head has provided some wickedly cool animations, including all of Ragnar's movements and attacks for Rune and Rune- Halls of Valhalla. While making Ragnar walk and chew bubble gum, Jeff is also a talented concept artist, creating characters that make you want to jump in and play. His projects include: Rune Viking Warlord. Rune, Rune- Halls of Valhalla, and Heretic II."
