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 30 KB).

Personal details: I started developing games because » ... als ich die Querverstrebungen eines Strommastens betrachtete. My first invented game was » ... Kunterbunt (FX Schmid). My most successful game so far has been » ... mit weitem Abstand Speed/Blink (Adlung/Mattel). In developing games, I am driven and stimulated by » ... die Vorstellung, dass ein fertiges Produkt anfänglich mal nur ein Gedankenfunke in meinem Kopf war. My ideas come from » ... dann, wenn ich in der richtigen Stimmung bin. I am particularly proud of » ... dass drei meiner ersten vier Spiele (Kunterbunt 1995, Speed 1995, Solche Strolche 1996) nach 15 Jahren immer noch auf dem Markt sind. Teamwork done with other designers » ... ist nicht mein Ding. "Cultural assets of games" means to me » ... dass Spielen mehr sein kann als bloßer Zeitvertreib. Recently, I especially enjoyed playing the game » ... wieder mal die Meisterwerke Ohne Furcht und Adel, Ra und Einfach Genial. Besides games, my other interests are » ... meine Freundin, meinen Golden Retriever, Schreiben, Film. I am looking forward to » ... jeden wachen Morgen.
