I grew up being inspired by technology: impressive monuments, air- and spacecraft, in general, modern infrastructure. When I got older, I learned how much it depends on computer science and how important computer science is for it. This field impressed and fascinated me, and as I dived a little deeper into it, I noticed how much I enjoy programming. And yes, I am also quite good at it.

Starting with simple and more limited editors like Greenfoot, I learned the basics of coding. I gained more experience approaching different projects, for example, by programming electronics like a simple calculator. When I finally started developing more complex apps and games, I was quite overwhelmed at first. How much work it requires and how much I still had to learn was eye-opening. But after programming many sample projects and developing actual apps and games, I do consider myself to be very experienced. There are still some things to learn, but having mastered many challenges, I am eager to take new ones!

I am already looking forward to our next project!

Hello together!

I'm Melvin, passionate about Games Design. I started creating graphics at a young age, especially for school projects and presentations to give them my own signature. When we were given the task to develop a simple game, I decided to draft and design the graphics. Adding my own, individual ideas, I pursued the goal to make it visually appealing to the users.

What fascinates me most about composing graphics and designing is the creation of a unique and creative style, that has never been seen before. Eventually, I am responsible for it, what the users see and how much our releases appeal to them. And of course, I'm always doing my best to provide them with an amazing and unforgettable experience.

By designing our apps and games I'm giving them my own signature. And what can I say, I just enjoy it.

Focus on improvement. This motto controls the way I behave and how I make decisions. From a young age on, I watched other children at my age playing games like soccer for hours and hours, just for fun. That made me realize I wouldn’t want to waste my time like this, as I could use it to get better at what I’m enjoying.

As I grew older, I began to always look for challenges in given tasks and activities. I kept this attitude until now, resulting in zero tolerance towards mistakes. Because of these character traits, I’m able to continuously test games on high standards and detect bugs, errors, and malfunctions.

The first time Simon told me about his new project, Strawbear Studios, I was immediately filled with enthusiasm and ideas, what we could turn it into. Since then, we have been working together, trying out new implementations or adjustments, with the main focus being enhancement and improvement of the games and its mechanics.
