I build games, 3D web apps and whatever grabs me right now: from browser card games for game night to a castle defence game in Unreal Engine. By day I work in retail sales at Telekom.

01 About cat about.md
A big part of that are board and card games I programmed for game nights with friends: with their own server, bots, reconnects and sometimes a 3D table. Everything runs in Docker containers on my Raspberry Pi. Right now I’m working on my first big game in Unreal Engine: Last Arrow.
My pattern is always the same: I come across a topic, read up quickly and then really sink my teeth in until something finished comes out of it. That goes for code as much as for AI, 3D printing or a cosplay I finish myself.
My Mandalorian cosplay is one of those cases: I printed and finished the entire armour myself. Some parts that didn’t exist the way I wanted, I designed myself, for example the grav charge holster. It’s available as my own model on MakerWorld to print yourself, and you can look at it in 3D right next to the photo.

02 Featured project man last-arrow
In development
Defend your castle in a first-person shooter.
“Hold the castle as long as you can: one bow, one treasure, endless goblins, and after every boss your fortress grows.”
First-person castle defence. You stand in your castle courtyard with bow and arrows and hold off wave after wave of goblins trying to loot your treasure chest. After every boss your castle grows. Every run is endless, and the enemies keep getting tougher.
Click or tap the goblins before they reach the chest. After every boss the castle grows.
Animated goblins of several types, including runners from different directions and heavy enemies like the battering ram. Bosses unlock the next castle expansion. Hits have impact: enemies flinch, fall and get knocked over by the musket.
A warm, colourful fairy-tale world with sun, weather, forest, mountains and meadows. A courtyard with a house, market stall, flags, torches and gate banners. The castle, enemies and effects are almost all generated in the game itself. For the market stall, houses, chest, gold mine and bow I used AI-generated 3D models that I prepared for the engine.
03 Projects ls -la ~/projects
Most of them are board and card games for game nights with friends. All run in the browser on phone, tablet or PC, with rooms via a 4-character code, bots for missing players and reconnects after drop-outs. Every project has its own Docker container on the Pi.

04 Interests & skills ls ~/interests/
~/gamedev/
From browser card games to a first-person shooter in Unreal Engine 5. Model the rules cleanly, then test until they hold.
~/ai/
AI as a tool for building, learning and experimenting: code, 3D models, ideas. And the question of what becomes possible next.
~/3d-printing/
From a digital model to a real part: design, print, post-process, finish. Currently on a Bambu Lab H2S. I publish my own models on MakerWorld.
~/cosplay/
Costumes and props where the finish makes the difference. Most recently: a fully self-printed Mandalorian armour, with a grav charge holster I designed myself.
~/tinkering/
Building, trying things out, plugging together things that don’t really belong together. The Raspberry Pi runs around the clock.
~/board-games/
Game nights with friends and the urge to rebuild our favourite games digitally.
