Notgames Forum

My name is Max Nilsson and I'm currently studying game design at Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlshamn, Sweden.
After making several games I became more and more interested in how we could change the medium and peoples view on games. "Normal" games started to seem bland and I was craving for something more. When I play a game, I want to feel like when I watch a good movie or read a book; I want emotions. Real emotions, that you actually care about a persons fate in the game. I also want to feel and think when I play, not just kill some time and have fun.
This is my goal for now, until I find something new to experiment with.

Here is my website, which is quite outdated so it doesn't exactly represent who I am today. But you can still download some older games I've made if you want to see my development process:

Here is a sample of the direction I'm heading in making games. We made this game in 2 weeks and I'm really proud of how it all turned out. Hopefully we will continue working on it since it's lacking in some aspects.
