“Fabian’s contributions have been incredibly helpful to me and the teams I’ve worked with. His critical mind, understanding of game design and ability to work constructively with others make him a tremendous asset to any team.”
My work is fueled by a deep appreciation of the beauty of elegant systems. Hence I aspire to create games that deliver interactive value to players as efficiently as possible.

Crimson Company
“I’m really enjoying the tactical savviness in this one!” (Craig Davies – Ultimate Tabletop Games)
A board-drafting card game about assembling an army of sellswords.
Together with Dario Reinhardt, I envisioned, designed and published the game. As CEO, I was also involved in business decisions, art direction, production processes, marketing and community building.
Hyperdrome
“Racing games aren’t exactly a novel concept, but Hyperdrome has set itself apart with its interesting tactical mechanics.” (Jessica Famularo – Pocket Gamer)
A tactical battle racing game by northworks Software.
I helped develop the original vision for the game. I was also involved in designing and balancing core gameplay systems as well as many of the included power-up abilities.
Black Hole Vagabond
“Combine tricky gadgets to deal with deceptively adorable moles. Also, explosions. What a game!”
An arena survival roguelike about making use of tricky gadgets.
I designed, programmed and published the game over the course of a few days in a personal game jam.
Travian Kingdoms
“The fact that you are working as a small link in a big chain will certainly appeal to many.” (Mikey Walker – BG Directory)
An MMO strategy game by Travian Games.
I joined the development for open beta. I helped streamline the game and designed several features to improve accessibility and retention, such as achievements, daily quests and an in-game help system.
Auro
“In a way, Auro is like a statement: This is what video games could be.” (Samuel Ratchkramer – The Ludite)
A roguelike tactics game by Dinofarm Games.
I was one of the game’s testers. I regularly contributed ideas and gave in-depth feedback about the game’s design and balancing.
Empire

I was one of the game’s testers. I regularly contributed ideas and gave in-depth feedback about the game’s design and balancing.
Experimental Prototypes
Over the years, I designed and programmed various prototypes to explore gameplay concepts and bring specific aspects of game design theory to life. This proved invaluable in refining my design philosophy.
