Name is Christian Markowicz, also go by Jawsarn, and I’m a game developer from southern Sweden, currently located in Stockholm. In the projects tab you can see what I’ve done, below is some notes about me, if you want to get in touch go here!
– What is my role as a game dev?
Most of the time I code! I’ve always had a thing for solving logical problems, but I do like to create some visual effects when I get the chance. In game jams if lacking dedicated artists I somtimes also do some low-poly 3D models & animations as final assets or placeholders.
– What are my goals?
My passion is creating and seeing people have fun with games. I like working in smaller tight autonomous teams where there is room for communicaiton and feedback as I like having a toe in the design as well! One type of games I enjoy more than others are cooperative games, where one can create, grow and experience connections with other people, such that one normally wouldn’t get in this day and age of ones everyday life. By that, my long term goal would be able to create a co-operative experiences that brings people togeather and gives a platform to enjoy each others company.
– How did I get into game development?
I think my first touch with creating games were in my early teens trying to recreate flash games in C# forms. A few years later I took two courses in my upper secondary school which was mostly me doing the same thing but a bit prettier. This and my love for games lead me into studying for a Master of Science in Game and Software Engineering, which later lead me onto the paths of game development profession.
– What today?
After graduation I had a small startup, moved to an indie game dev house, Spelkollektivet, for three years. There I joined another indie dev and worked on Lords and Villeins. Thereafter my journey headed to Stockholm to find new adventures in my career. I ended up joining Pugstorm, working on Core Keeper, which I’m part of still today!
