Thomas is a Hyper-optimist, working on multi-player turn-based technology building games that utilize possibilities of digital - board games with additional layers. To be available on mobile and web. Together with three other industry veterans, Thomas is currently building the start-up studio, Glitchfjørd Games, leaning into Scandinavian cool vibe.
“Mobile space is stale!” - Thomas has the desire to avoid free-to-play mechanics, such as battle-pass, lootbox, etc. Instead he is considering the “friend pass”, that offers more virality options.
