Do not follow where the path may go. Go instead where there's no path and leave a trail.

About me
My name is Michael Brandse, and I have been a fan of games and making them for as long as I can remember. From my earliest memories I was already busy designing games (platform games and RPGs) and tabletop games. This passion is still there!

My inspiration
I have always been interested in ancient cultures, like ancient Egypt, the Dark Ages and Mayans because of their architecture. Asia has also been a big source of inspiration for me. This can be seen in everything I make, as pretty much all of my works are fantasy themed. I also love to experiment. Not just with art, but with games as well. This has lead to a very wide knowledge base on all forms of art. I feel that as a gamedesigner, you should be able to know what is going on in several fields, which is why I found it to be important to at least taste the other disciplines found in gamedevelopment.

My ambitions
In the future I aim to create games the world has not seen before. I do not wish to imitate, but to innovate. Not just in terms of genres and games, but also in terms of elements used in games. I wish to keep learning in the industry of games and I want to seek out the limits of game mediums.
