Production and management, from 11 years running a studio.
For 11 years I ran a studio and produced two complex titles end to end. I aligned the teams, built the plans, and handled the scope, budgets, and platform submissions that got them shipped.

Team Leadership & Mentoring

Team Leadership
Producer & Director
In the production of Wartile and Successor, I involved the team in defining the creative goals and production framework from early on, while maintaining clear and transparent communication throughout development. This created a strong sense of ownership and responsibility across the team for the project’s outcome, despite the many setbacks and challenges during development.
Empowering the Team
I strengthened team motivation by sharing small wins and recognizing strong performance. Especially working with larger cross-disciplinary teams requires adapting communication and expectations accordingly.
day-to-day planning
During development, I oversaw the day-to-day planning and status updates, ensuring the team stayed on track and issues were surfaced. As the Team lead at IO Interactive and ZeitGuyz, I oversaw a small team of designers and provided regular status updates in a more discipline-focused role.
Building the Team
At Playwood Project, my responsibility was to find talented developers and interns to join the studio. While operating within a limited budget, I focused on offering ownership, creative influence, and flexible work conditions to foster long-term commitment.
Lectures, mentoring & talks
Director & Game designer
When time allows, I enjoy running lectures, workshops, or talks for students of game development.
Lectures at DADIU in game design
For a few years, I served as a mentor and lecturer at The National Academy of Digital Interactive Entertainment. Here I ran workshops in Game design for students.
"Fremtidsværkstedet"
A volunteer initiative for a public initiative named Fremtidsværkstedet, where I was invited to deliver guest lectures introducing game development to kids in 5th–9th grade.

Backlog and Roadmaps
Wartile
At Playwood Project
Laying out a roadmap and tracking the backlog.
Producer
I owned and maintained the full production plans for both Wartile and Successor, creating the backlog, setting up roadmaps and milestones, configuring them in Jira, and supporting them with detailed Confluence documentation, helping the team frame the work to be done and the expected deliverables.
Miro
For Successor, we transitioned to Miro, a more dynamic and collaborative design documentation platform, to improve alignment and visibility. This method was a more direct and straightforward form of communication, suitable for the high-intensity and flexible production cycle we operated under.
Sprint Planning and priorities
Producer
I ran Waterfall for art and audio, with clearly defined feature deliveries. Engineering and game design ran on Agile Scrum sprints, breaking complex systems into smaller tasks to enable rapid implementation, testing, and iteration, helping us catch technical and creative challenges early.

Risk Management
Many systems were new, and reliable velocity data was limited, especially during VR development. To mitigate uncertainty, we prioritized high-risk core features early in the schedule to reduce downstream delays. This approach surfaced critical problems in our procedural map generation and required a whole new codebase.

Porting & Platform Submissions

Cross-platform development
Producer
For Wartile and Successor, I managed cross-platform development and porting across multiple platforms.
Wartile was released on PC and then ported to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2020, followed by ports to the Nintendo Switch and, later, Tilt Five AR. Successor was initially PC-first, but during development shifted toward VR-first, with a release on Meta Quest 2 & 3 and PC in 2025.
Six-step Milestone for Meta Quest VR
Led the production through a six-step milestone process for Successor on Meta Quest VR, aligning weekly or monthly progress with delivery expectations, communicating progress, challenges, and delays ranging from signing the contract to releasing Successor at the Meta Quest store.
Submission for Meta Quest VR
Managed an intense seven-week QA submission process with Global Step, ensuring an approved, greenlit candidate to be released on the Meta Quest store in September 2025. I managed incoming bug reports, sorted by priority and complexity, verified fixes, and helped solve bugs in the engine myself.

Release plans
Producer
Laid out the release plans for Wartile & Successor, considering marketing beats to increase visibility and grow the Steam wishlist count. Planned for events, festivals, and initiatives across platforms and social media.
Events & visibility
During the production of Successor, I planned small event beats toward the release, such as the Halloween event demo released on Steam along with a marketing and social media push to increase visibility.
Social Media and the Community
Producer
I also acted as community manager for our Discord and Steam communities, responding to player inquiries, gathering feedback, and writing dev logs and patch notes to keep players informed and engaged.
Steam Community
For Wartile and Successor, I wrote up to 100 patch notes and dev logs across our Steam Community Hub to engage our players and help newcomers become more active community members.
Store Platforms
Producer
Before release, I set up and managed the Meta Quest and Steam stores, coordinated final submissions and technical requirements, aligned marketing assets with platform guidelines, and ensured the build was ready for launch.
