My first drafts and designs for board and computer games were created very early. I was always very passionate about creating my own games. In school I already worked on smaller games with friends. After school I started studying electrical engineering at the TU Darmstadt. As it turned out, electrical engineering was not for me. But while attending the informatics courses I discovered my fascination for programming.
I switched the university and applied for Digital Media. And I was accepted. The range of the courses was very broad, ranging from filming techniques, over informatics to general design. My main interest stayed game design. The various projects in my course of studies gave me the opportunity to gain practical experience in the process of creating a computer game.
After graduating I worked as an intern and later as an employee at a small game company. I recently made my first steps towards self employment.
Is your "War of Nations" the same game that was then taken forward and released to mobile devices by GREE?
No, it is not. It is really unfortunate, that the good names are gone so quickly.
I just uploaded the newest version of "War of Nations", with minor bugfixes. Stay tuned for new features!
