What are your strengths?
Drinking coffee.

What can't you stand?
When the coffee is empty.

What are you enthusiastic about, what are your hobbies?
Gaming. Building games. Kind of obvious.

What do you prefer when gaming: PC or console?
Console. It's mainly because I'm sitting in front of the computer all day building games.
So playing on the computer doesn't feel like free time anymore.

What kind of films or series do you particularly like to watch or do you watch often?
Everything that is trendy right now.

What kind of feature would you like to see in a game?
Artificial intelligence that is smart enough to have real conversations with.

Are you afraid that you might run out of ideas for a game at some point?
No, rather the opposite. Most of the time there are way too many ideas to implement.

 Where do you find the inspiration for your work?
Everywhere. A better question would be: Where do you find NO inspiration for your work?
But even there I can't think of anything.

Which game from other studios are you eagerly awaiting and would like to play through?
Half Life 3

If you weren't working in the game industry today, what would you have done otherwise?
Did you originally have a different career goal?

If my 16 year old had his way, I would be a director, actor or voice actor today.
