My Name is Mikhail Schmalzried.


I am a Technical Game Designer and Producer. I used to be a building automation engineer. Now, I am a DDC Programmer with a degree from Full Sail University's Interactive Technology Bachelor - Game Design Concentration program. I come from an engineering background but I have always loved video games and learning about how they work.


I started modding Minecraft Java Edition years ago and have used many software tools for programming, developing video games, and making digital art in Blender and Magicavoxel. Check out my resume here.


I have only recently begun documenting or showing my work.


My current project is Exo, a strategy colony survival based around sentient ants!
