I am a new face in this industry and only worked for a year.
However, over the course of that quite an eventful year,
I was able to gain tremendous experience in writing for games,
community management and even business development.
As a game designer, I have a passion for making systems-heavy games,
and I have been running multiple TTRPG campaigns for the last three years
to prepare myself for making a proper CRPG one day!
