Profiles of Game Designers

Below we show profiles of SAZ members to introduce you game designers personally and also to promote contacts within the SAZ. Each member is responsible himself for determining whether and with which information he releases a profile for the public or for members only. At the bottom of the page you will find a search function, if required.

A list of games and members who were successful last year with awards and prizes, you can find here (PDF download 222 KB).
