About
My name is Mattias Gustavsson, I'm 33 years old (when I'm writing this in november -07, and I probably won't remember to update this, so you need to look what year you have when reading this and adjust accordingly :P) and I live in Hudiksvall (the place where I was born, yay) in Sweden with my wife Tanja. For as long as I can remember, I've loved games, really loved games in all shapes and forms. Well, not like sports and stuff (yuck) or gambling (eeoow), but everything from boardgames to roleplaying games to video games. I started making computer games at the age of 10, at first at a friends house on his Commodore Vic20, but later on my very own Commodore 64 (well, I say very own, but technically my younger brother owned half of it. I let him play Bubble Bobble once in a while, and he seemed happy enough with that :-) I spent years messing around on with computers, games and programming, without a real goal, just having fun. I was involved with the "demo scene" for many years, doing little graphical demos for the amusement of myself and my friends. It was great years, and I learned a lot. It wasn't until the year 2000 I got my first job in the games industry. Before that, I used to work with programming for bank software, cash machines, fund management and things like that. Wasn't really my thing though :-) I've been working with games every since, and it's sure had its up and downs. The games industry can be rough, but I wouldn't have wanted to do anything else. It's been a big learning experience, and I now feel I have a pretty good idea of how to take a game from a rough idea to a nicely finished product :-)
