I’m a solo game developer located a few miles north of Norway’s capital Oslo. I am deeply passionate about open world survival and factory games, matched only with my passion for Japanese culture, particularly the Japanese Tea Ceremony. In Senzo, I’m combining it all.

I have a master’s degree from the local university and have worked in the IT industry for a decade and a half. In game development, I’m faced with the same dilemma as the rest of the industry; buy an off the shelf solution or build it myself. Both approaches have their merits, and my approach is a pragmatic one.

As a solo game developer, I don’t think doing it all from scratch is feasible. As such, I will rely on assets to build my game, particularly for the graphics and sound. When it comes to code, I’m happy to use third-party code to improve my productivity, but a bit more hesitant to use third-party code that will go into the shipped product. But no rule without exception.
