El Hijo
June 2016 – Present
El Hijo is a spaghetti western, indie stealth game.
The game is set in a place that very much resembles the American west, as we know it from Sergio Leone‘s westerns. The land is therefore filled with roving gangs of outlaws, frontier towns, saloons, and corrupt lawmen. There is no explicit indication of a specific time or place, it could be everywhere and anywhere.
In the game you guide 6-year old boy El Hijo on his quest to find his father. He must first escape a monastery, then find his way through the desert, avoiding monstrous creatures, before finally outsmarting horrible gangsters in the saloon of a town full of villains.
Implementation:
- Unity3D, C#
Features:
- Stealth Game in Wild West setting
- Interaction with a variety of objects and the environment
- Multiple ways to solve puzzles

RPG-Schmiede Leipzig
December 2012 – September 2015
I was a co-founder of a hobby developer studios who developed 8-bit-style role playing games with the RPG Maker VX ACE. The company, RPG Schmiede, was part of games culture events such as the Long Night of the computer games in Leipzig from 2012 to 2015, and attended GamesCom in Cologne in both 2014 and 2015.
A major focus for us besides the development of games was in community work.
We offered interested players on our Facebook page the opportunity to contribute content to the game. For example, these stories, quests, graphics, or characters could be submitted for our game, which we included in the game after evaluation.
