Acknowledgements
Firstly, I'd like to say a HUGE Thank You to all Patrons of the Heavenfield. Your ongoing support has made it possible for me to put so much time and effort into the project I love. Check out the Patrons in The Heavenfield Hall of Fame.
Also, I'd like to give my deepest thanks to Steven Herbert, for his ideas, energy and support. Thanks also for his selfless sharing of his artworks throughout the Datavault. He is responsible for the Fieldship designs and 3D models, as well as creating some of the beautiful Heavenfield landscape images which I found captured the look of the Field perfectly. They proved a real inspiration to both my own images and subsequent story writing. Thanks!
The Datavault runs on a WordPress plugin called 'Participant's Database'. This is a great, free plugin, which you can find out more about on xnau.com.
