Who?

Direct, proactive & data-driven – I claim to be. Strong-willed, I get called, and I’d like to stand up to this judgment.

I made myself the CXO of my company as a parody of the current trend among corporate game company heads who refuse to take responsibility, so I take all of them.

Leadership and decision-making in game companies is an area that has been dominated by people who do not share the same passion as the people playing and creating them.

• Just because you love games and you are competitive, you are not a professional e-sports player
  
• Just because you can code, you are not automatically a good game designer
  
• Just being a great CEO 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 serve as the parent brand for my endeavors.

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 publish, I make 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 I'm likely to introduce 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.

Note:
Most of my services can be booked as consulting and/or work-for-hire. If you think you can manage the tasks on your own, feel free to only consider my consulting services, which average a lower total fee. However, if you’d like to keep your schedule empty, hand off publishing tasks, and focus on the thing you love – creating games – please consider my work-for-hire services.

Consulting & Work-for-hire:

• Portfolio review
• Business contacts
• Event guidance & event planning
• Schedule creation & release planning
• Physical edition & special editions
• Age ratings
• Build management & deployment
• Waiver discussions, TRC & XR checks
• Simple forecasting

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, to publish great games, you have to understand how a game is made and think like the people who create them do.

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 from both and added some sprinkles of games.
I use only the highest quality fabrics, yarns, zippers, etc., all certified and cruelty-free. Another unique or less common trait: I select fabrics based on sound. If you have never heard of misophonia, you likely have never given much thought to 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.

I do all sewing patterns myself, bespoke and individualized.
Based on suggestions to offer my services:
Requests are open.

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 aesthetic perspective. Oh, and did I mention I like to reward people? A smile when reading I regard as a reward.
