Game design,
solo developed.
I'm Balduin — a Cologne-based game designer, creative, and 3D artist. I like to play and make games.
ENDSTATION is out now on Steam

About me
I'm a founding member of RaucherPauseGames — a small collective that started by collaborating on a 2023 game jam and has been making games together ever since.
I create engaging experiences by finding original ways to pose problems and design solutions. As a creative and designer I've learned that the best work comes from a long process of iteration and validation.
I value transparency and openness, building connections that last, and avoiding stagnation and waste. I care about fun, efficiency, and dedication — outstanding results come from engaged and happy groups of people.
Always learning. I play all kinds of games — physical and digital — always looking for the next mechanic or idea that inspires me. Always on the hunt for interesting subjects that can be turned into engaging games and stories.
