The administrator to this site and a Game-Maker author dating back to 1991, Korrigan is credited under various personal and organizational names including Aderack, A-J Games, Don'Pan Software, and Jeneric Rules.

Of those labels, the most prolific and likely familiar to Game-Maker users was A-J Games, a name derived from Korrigan's first game, A-J's Quest—itself a spin-off from a comic strip titled Andrew-Jonathan. Under the A-J Games label, Korrigan produced several games under contract for the 1994 CD-ROM release of Game-Maker 3.0.

During the 2010s, Korrigan swapped the A-J Games label for a run of (largely unfinished) games produced under the Jeneric Rules banner.

Other labels were employed to differentiate games that with less of a personal connection to Korrigan, with Don'Pan focusing on pastiche of other developers' properties or games produced for friends and acquaintances, and Janet L. Groth obscuring ventures into lewd satire.

Distribution

Most games were uploaded as shareware demos onto local Maine bulletin boards; from there they made their way around the BBS circuit and onto occasional shovelware CDs. A half a dozen games were specifically designed for the Game-Maker 3.0 CD, and several more were also included either as shareware or as demo gameware.

Sample versions of Game-Maker 3.0, packaged for BBS distribution, include Peach, Crullo, Zark, and Patchwork Heart as their sole gameware. RSD also produced a demo game incorporating an interactive slideshow (and the bulk of Sheldon Chase's Woman Warrior and the Outer Limits) into the first level of Peach the Lobster. An earlier demo contains A-J's Quest, version 2.0.
