Finally, after 20 years as a game developer, I released my first game to the public! What began as a hobby has grown into an entertaining way to explore the cultural quirks and fun facts of every country around the world.

Click the details button for some behind-the-scenes background information.

The third big project from the team of Mad About Pandas is the richly narrative and visually stunning game Hitchhiker from the publisher Versus Evil. The game tells the story of a hitchhiking guy traveling through the American Midwest in the 1990s. One of the biggest challenges was managing the huge amount of animations and dialogue text to cover several hours of gameplay, plus porting the game to multiple platforms. I served as the technical lead and spent several years working on this project.
