is a deep dive into the neuester Schrei of Germancore culture—a commentary on the commentary on contemporary German society.
itch.ioWho?
Direct, preemptive & data-driven – I claim to be.
Strong-opinionated I get called, and I’d like to stand up to this judgment.
I made myself CXO of my company as persiflage of the current trends of corporate game company heads not taking responsibilities – so I take all of them.
Leadership and decision-making in game companies is an area that has been dominated by people whom I call „Branchen-fremd“ (non-industry), who never worked on a game.
Compared to „Quereinsteiger“ (career changers) who share the same passion for creating games.
- Just because you love games and you are competitive, does that make you a professional e-sports player? No.
- Just because you can code, you are not automatically a good game designer.
- Just because you are a great CEO at [insert S&P 500 tech bro company] doesn't make you a great leader, nor does it make you understand video games.
About
Janus Industries is a brand I’ve created to be the parent brand for my endeavours.
Why Janus?
Janus – the Latin God of gates, transition, and time. I transition between game development and publishing, building bridges. There are many more reasons; find me and ask about them.Why Industries? Not Studio? Games? Entertainment?
I love games, yes. Why limit yourself? I do publishing, I do games, I love tinkering projects, and I offer clothing and design services. This is where I start, and I do not know what is coming – I like to keep it this way. Do you know Industrial Illusions?Will you keep the black/white color scheme?
The black/white color scheme is my core. Gold has always been a favorite of mine, and it’s likely I’ll be introducing more colors for different brands or ideas. I may have never asked for color, but you can’t kill progress.Services
In the past, I’ve worked on multiple indie games and AAA titles with various partners of PLAION.
Being a game dev at heart and doing publishing business as a day job, I want to offer a holistic view on your game.

Games
Since 2017, I’ve participated in multiple game jams in Bavaria. Semester Game Jam has been a big part of my life
as a participant and as a member of the staff running it.
I strongly believe that, in order to publish great games, you have to understand how a game is made and how the people
creating it think.

Fashion
Welcome to the latest addition of my portfolio.
My understanding of fashion is highly influenced by techwear brands such as Acronym and Civilized.
However, as I do value suits and classical men’s wear, I have selected the elements I like most of both and added some sprinkles of games to it.
I use only the highest quality fabrics, yarns, zippers & co., all certified and cruelty-free.
Another unique or less common trait: I select fabrics with regard to sound. If you have never heard of misophonia, you likely never spent much thought on how your clothing sounds. I want to keep the sound of wear to a minimum. Thus, some materials or fabric styles are less likely to be used by me.
There are war crimes in fashion that I will not commit. These are done better by other people.
I do all sewing patterns on my own, bespoke and individualized.
Based on suggestions to offer my services: requests are open.
You may get in contact about your unique design.
Single pieces start at 10.000€,
two pieces at 15.000€, excl. VAT

Nerdy Things
Dedication shall be rewarded. My page has a semi–sans-serif custom font and is white text on a black background.
Why? Because the reader will have trouble reading. This will interrupt your flow and make you read the text at least twice.
Mere exposure effect.
Who needs fine print? Big corporate companies. I don't, but that is creative freedom.
It also closes the page firmly from an aesthetics perspective. Oh, and did I mention I like to reward people? A smile when reading I regard as a reward.
