About me

Hi, I'm Max de Wilde. I'm a Game Designer with 6 years of experience in various fields of game design, but I'm especially versed in mechanic/systems design and game balancing. I'm also very comfortable doing programming and implementation work.

I graduated from HKU in Game Design in 2023. My current day job is in IT Support, but I regularly join Game Jams and I currently co-develop 'Lichbound: Prologue' in my free time to keep my design skills fresh. While I'm most proficient with Unity (C#), I'm also exploring both Godot (gdscript) and Unreal Engine (Blueprints, C++).

In my spare time, I love gaming of all kinds: video games, but me and my wife also have a closet full of boardgames (we may need another soon), and I play D&D whenever possible (as a player, but have also DM'd my self-written oneshot). I'm also an avid card game enthousiast: I currently play Flesh and Blood competitively (recently participated in a Pro Tour invitational in Singapore), I've played Magic: the Gathering for well over 12 years, and have extensively played many others. I will geek over Slay the Spire whenever possible.

My top 3 video games currently: Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium, and Inscryption (seriously, play them).
