Developing Videogames with passion and love!

Mateo is a 23-year-old solo game developer from Germany who began making video games in 2020. After learning programming through 12 small projects and several gamejams, he started work on his first commercial title, Makis Adventure, in 2021. Released in January 2023 after two years of development, the game won 25,000 Euros at the German Video Game Awards, received strong reviews from players and press, and was featured by Forbes and VICE. It later launched on consoles and mobile. Mateos next project, Rogue Jungle, is a dungeon-crawler Survivors-like focused on merging weapon cards into powerful builds. During its development, a spontaneous idea led to his third commercial title, Paddle Paddle Paddle. Built in just four months, Paddle Paddle Paddle is a chaotic co-op rage game inspired by Chained Together. Its demo reached 100,000 downloads on Steam, and the full release sold 240,000 copies in less than a year... In March 2026, Mateo had the idea for his third commercial Release Cool Story, Bro! a chaotic party game for 2-4 Players where you have to write short stories based on 4 random words. The game was fully developed in 4 weeks and launched on April 10th 2026.

Years of passion for drawing and Art !

Before I started developing video games in 2020, I already had a great passion for drawing. From anime characters to portraits and landscapes, I drew everything! I come from an artistic background and learned programming to bring life into my Art! I still learn new things everyday and improve my skills with programs like Blender, Photoshop, Aseprite and more... I love to draw Pixelart, but I also really enjoy to make 3D models!

Hello and welcome!
