Sorry about my tardiness - here is my #gamedev intro:
I'm a game & narrative designer at CrazyBunch (Hamburg, GER), where I also wear the hats of game writer, sometimes programmer and social media person. We were responsible for that Leisure Suit Larry reboot the world didn't need or ask for.

Re-introduction and update: Hi, I am a game & narrative designer and programmer from Hamburg, looking for work in and outside of the industry! Next to games, I love the theatre, all kinds of story telling, sciency things, silly things and goofing around with my kids!

After doom scrolling through job descriptions for hours without blinking, one thing keeps preying on my mind: Can one really be "passionate about databases"? No kink shaming, just curious.

My advisor at the unemployment agency just told me: "Things look pretty shitty in your industry, eh?" and then we both laughed for like ten minutes and that was our whole meeting.
