About Me
Hi, I’m ERMFox, a passionate game designer, worldbuilder, and backend developer. I love creating immersive experiences through storytelling, art, and interactive gameplay.
My Journey
My journey started with a fascination for the stories and worlds within my favorite games. Over time, that passion turned into worldbuilding, writing, and eventually game development. I’m currently finishing my apprenticeship in software development and preparing to start my BMS (Berufsmaturität), with the goal of studying game design at ZHdK. Along the way, I’ve explored backend development, storytelling, art, and game systems to build a foundation for the kind of immersive, meaningful games I want to create.
Skills and Expertise
- Backend Development: Proficient with Node.js and Express, currently exploring Spring Boot for Java-based services.
- Game Design Fundamentals: Actively developing a tabletop strategy game, experimenting with balance, scripting, and unit design.
- Worldbuilding and Storytelling: Creating expansive sci-fi and fantasy worlds with deep lore, factions, and narrative systems.
- Art and Concept Design: Passionate about illustrating vehicles, environments, and tech concepts that support worldbuilding.
What Drives Me
My goal as a creator is to bring joy, hope, and meaning through interactive experiences. Games were a big part of why I found hope during tough times, and I want to give back by creating worlds where players can find their own solace and excitement.
My Goals
I’m currently building my portfolio and finishing my apprenticeship while preparing for BMS. My next major goal is to study game design at ZHdK, where I can grow as both a developer and a creative thinker. Long-term, I aspire to work in the game industry as a narrative designer or concept artist, combining storytelling, technical skills, and worldbuilding into projects that resonate with players.
