Florian Gelzenleuchter
Technical VFX Artist
If it’s about shader or rendering, Florian is the person to ask for.
After coming from a 2D/3D artist background, Florian discovered his love for shader and
technical vfx during the beginning of university. Solving the riddles around amazing-looking
effects became his passion and with all these tools around his belt, bringing worlds to life is
his goal.
We had been lucky enough to successfully lure him into being an intern at first, helping us to
bring Sea of Solitude to the Nintendo Switch. Now he is already a full-fledged member of the
team bringing his vast knowledge into our next projects!
Beside also working on a bunch of other projects on the sideline, he’s a vivid Nintendo fanboy and part-time anime connoisseur, so don’t try to beat him in Mario Kart!

level and game design. Working at Jo-Mei, he is responsible for the level design of the

specialized in highly crafted, layered musical compositions, amalgamating acoustic and
electronic sounds and encompassing both classical and ambient genres.

When reaching his 30’s Patrick worked on several major German game-productions doing
textures and interfaces before he moved on to teach students to do their own games.
Now he is our producer but still gives classes to drag young talents into development. If he is
not in Berlin, he is most likely in Tokyo helping build music festivals in the mountains from
scratch and enjoying the contrast of nature and megacities. Has a soft spot for 70’s Italian
horror movies.
Dirk Kultus
Programmer and Game Designer
Since the beginning of time Dirk studied programming and game design mostly through
learning by doing.Even now he spends most of the time in front of the box to bring pixels to
life.
When he doesn’t dig around in code and game mechanics he spends his time with
cartoons, pen&paper-RPGs, idle&indie games, all the other geeky stuff and
