Thomas is celebrating 20 years in game design, and is now a freelance designer in what he calls "full stack design". His interest in video games actually runs parallel with his passion for board games, a passion that started with pen and paper roleplaying games. Hear the story of how Thomas started as an intern and worked his way to a senior position - twice. Hear how IO grew along with the rest of the gaming industry, and basically had to figure out how to make games at a bigger and bigger scale. Along the way, they helped define what a Game Designer is. Thomas has an interesting view on unrealistic deadlines and how they can actually be useful, because "creativity finds a way".
