About Me
I had been thinking about becoming a video game developer since I had played one for the first time. When I was 13 (in 2005) I saw an opportunity to try it out for the first time: I installed Valve's Hammer Editor and started building Maps for Counterstrike 1.6. Very soon I got Half-Life 2 (which was very hard to get considering the german age restrictions) and discovered the seemingly endless possibilities of Source. In 2007 I had realised it was much more productive to work in a team, so I joined my first mod-team: Reflex Studios. The team was officially declared dead two years later however I realised what I wanted to do in life! A few years later I decided to learn game development professionally and started studing at the "Hochschule Darmstadt", which offers the probably best game development studies in Germany. Currently I am working as a Junior Technical Artist at Chimera Entertainment.
