Hey! I'm Max, a game developer / pixel artist who enjoys creating experiences that bring other people joy.

After completing my bachelors degree in computer science at Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences and working for a year as a software developer, I realized that, while my job was great, it was missing that special something that was truly fulfilling. I thus decided to chase my childhood dream of making video games, and enrolled in the Multimedia Technology masters program at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. Here I am currently finishing up my masters degree and looking for work! (If you've got some, feel free to contact me!)

I don't just make games, I play them too! Broadening my horizon and trying obscure, interesting games is a big hobby of mine, just as much as analytically dissecting the designs of AAA titles. You'll also likely find me at your local Super Smash Brothers tournament, either chasing the crown as part of West Austria Gaming, or helping out with setup and management, in an effort to grow the Austrian SmashBros scene. Got a tournament coming up and need some help? Or maybe you want to join the scene and are not sure where to go or who to talk to? Hit me up!

When I'm not gaming, I enjoy creating pixel art, dabbling in music, and diving into fantasy worlds with friends through Dungeons and Dragons, either as a player or as a DM myself.

I post software stuff I'm working on on my GitHub and you can find various ramblings and pixel art on my Twitter. When I enter GameJams I usually post the result on my itch.io page, feel free to check out those games and give feedback!
