I’ve been making games since around 2001 using Game Maker. A friend gave it to me on two floppy disks. A few years later I took a programming course in school and it really helped me get going with making better games. In 2007 I released my first free to play game Castle of Destruction on yoyogames. It wasn’t very fun but I finished it and that is always difficult. I then went on to do military service for a year and came back and wanted to make a sequel to Castle of Destruction. It later became Fortify that I released on yoyo in July 2010. Six months later it had around 300 downloads when it got featured on the site. Suddenly thousands had played it! Currently it has around 8000 downloads on yoyo and has been covered on other sites as well, like in a Czech newspaper which has another 2000 downloads.

After finishing Fortify I wanted to move away from the medieval setting, and away from animating lots of units. I am a big fan of Sci-fi movies and games so I thought I’d have a go at that. The idea of Terraforming came to mind and I thought that has great puzzle potential. With my limited skills I began to work and realized I’d need some sort of grid system to make it work. I made a planet of hexagons and made a test in an evening to see if it would work. It did!

That was in late 2009 or early 2010. Since then I’ve been working on it whenever I get the time. Terraform is available in my Store, on GamersGate and Desura Check it out!
