the next step

July 2019


I was always a big fan of the 80s game Blockout. I first played the game on a Intel 286 PC without HDD in elementary school. Other games at that time have been Lemmings and Prince of Persia 🙂
I always wondered why the game have never been remastered on a big scale like Tetris …

Since I have now some base know-how about game development … why not redo this game ? 😉

Here my first thoughts about it … why not change the viewport ?

This was the start of the project “BITOUT”

what happend since July 2019 ?
A lot …

stay tuned … more posts coming up soon

How things started …

July 2018


Out of curiosity I started to make my first steps by creating my first game.
I didn’t have much experience with making games then, but I loved playing them.
So I started first with OpenGL and C++ to make my first steps into the world of game development. However it seems I was not going near to a game because I was just lost in the dept of game engine design 🙂
After a wile I thought about using an existing game engine. However I was not convinced since I wanted to learn everything from scratch …
I installed the Unreal Engine (beast) and I was overwhelmed by the wast amount of features and possibility the engine provides.
So where to start there ?
I got on Udemy.com to find a good course to start …
Then by accident I found a very good course by Ben Tristem teaching the Unity 3D Engine … and I liked it very much …
so I started to learn Unity 3D instead of Unreal Engine.

After some time of watching Ben Tristem’s online course and fiddling around with Unity 3D my first game was ready. I released it on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. I was so proud 😉

Out of curiosity and love to games I founded my own development studio Bitmutation e.U.
But also the law in Austria, where I live, somehow requires you to create your
own kind of legal entity … mostly because of taxes
