I make character games that convey emotion

I've been actively making games since 2011 mainly focusing on narrative-driven experiences. I'm currently working for the Viennese game studio Mi'pu'mi Games doing Game Design and Content work and I also make games on the side as a hobby.

I want to tell stories through games utilizingcharacters as a main device to do so. In both mechanics and narrative I like to think of how the game and it's underlying system transport something about how it feels to be that character - the game as a characteristic expierence.

One of my key development tools is aligning the emotional world of player and character to maybe - just maybe - get a point across or inspire insight.

It's what some would call my passion. And I like to follow this passion through the visual building block, atom and language of games: Pixels.
