Little did I know those few lines of code would grow into a full-time job filled with adventures, inspiring people, moments of drama and joy, and the privilege of creating small safe havens for others — places where they can breathe and feel joy, even briefly.
Thank you, curiosity.

Exactly 10 years ago, I wrote the very first line of code for my first video game — a tiny side project called "Grab the Notes!".
And I thought to myself — Well, that’s kinda fun!
A new mission for 2025:
I'm joining @tragsoft.bsky.social to work on a new @coromonthegame.bsky.social - Coromon: Rogue Planet!
It's going to be a good year ♥️
The very last photo to my trilogy.
It's been more than 7 years of combined work for SUPERHOT and @srgames.bsky.social within these walls.
I’m honored that I could work with such amazing people, make fun games everyday and grow as a designer. It was a real privilege.
Time for new adventure!
"I had never even thought about playing a Vampire Survivors style game in VR, but Survivors of Xcalibur has shown that the formula can work extremely well. An absolute bargain for the €5 asking price!"

What makes games easy to learn and hard to master?
We hear that phrase everywhere. We all know it by heart, but what does it exactly mean from the perspective of game design?
Let's seek the formula together:

Those winter breaks in "Gorące Pośladki" mode...
The most Polish game ever.

To be honest, I bounced off the game few years ago. But! I've revisited it recently and become addicted...

How many game pillars is too many?
Hi! Can I also join?
I might know some of them
I'm thrilled to announce that I haven't been nominated for any award this year.
But I still want to thank my dad.
13. Hitman GO
I was really impressed how devs captured the essence of hitman gameplay and transformed it to something completely different.

Hi! Great idea! Would love to be added!
Hi! Can I join? Besides my commercial work I made games that feel experimental to me :D
Hi! Can I join too? 9 years with the engine, 40+ projects and still counting!
Hi! Can I join?
Looking for something easy to read? A few design lessons from my early games to enjoy with a morning coffee ☕
Let me know what you think about this format!

Hi! Keep up good work! Would love to be added as game dev ☺️
Maybe a game-design reddit? Sometimes some good quality conversation can happen there.
Also, a boardgamegeek forum. As a name suggest is more tabletop-oriented but you can find some good design conversations.
Hope that helps, if you find out about something good, let me know!
12. Kinds Words
I was so surprised that humankind is able to create such a non-toxic supportive community. It really touched me that our medium can be used in such a way.

I've accidentally put Hollow Knight inside Stanley Parable 😱 I think I need to start all over again...
11. Psychonauts
After playing, I was so full of creative juice running through my body that I could barely walk. Love some of the mind designs to this day.

10. Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
I love Indy and, for me, the melee combat still holds up to this day (but I might be blinded by nostalgia xd)
