About Me

Hi there!

I'm Marco Stano, an independent game developer from Weinheim, Germany.

Currently, I'm studying "Virtual Realities - Game Development" at the SRH Hochschule Heidelberg.
I specialize in mechanics design and gameplay programming, and I'm aiming to develop a general understanding of every aspect needed to create games on a professional level - which is why this blog exists.

Creating games and thinking way too much about them are the two things I've always been doing in my free time - all the way from kindergarden to my years of military service as an officer of the German Air Force. When I'm not creating games, you can usually find me at a dojo practicing karate, gaming somewhere (usually a kart racer) or staring into the distance randomly, lost in thought.

I'm currently CEO and Creative Head of Nydus Game Studios, an independent game studio based in Heidelberg, Germany, that specializes in cooperative games for PC and consoles - especially ones you can enjoy while being in the same room. It's a blast working with such talented people even during my studies, be sure to check us out!

If you're interested in my professional past, here's my CV. If you just want to talk or challenge me to a round of kart racing, don't be afraid to drop me a message here, my LinkedIn, Facebook or even Discord (Vholu#4684). :)

I'm looking forward to creating great games with all of you. Enjoy your stay!
