Hej I'm Fabijan, a game design student at the University of Gothenburg.
I love playing and making every type of game, from simple and fun games where I focus on game feel such as Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy and Katamari Damacy, all the way to complex systems focused games such as Into the Breach and Factorio, and everything inbetween and all around.
I'm also interested in many types of games, not only video games. I love board games, traditional games, TTRPGS, escape rooms and game shows (which I feel are heavily underappreciated among game designers and I'm ready to fight for it 🔥)
I started gaming when my uncle installed a gameboy advance emulator on my family's PC and transferred a .zip file with a 100 roms. I didn't understand english so I would randomly click on a game and stumble through the menus until I manage to play something. The game that ended up sticking with me the most from that period was 'Pokemon: Leaf Green'. I started game designing at around the same time, because due to our lack of boardgames, my friends and I made up our own using pen, paper and dice.
