Ole Steiness's Blog

I am a Danish game designer living and working in Copenhagen, Denmark. My passion is, and has always been, game design. I started out by making my own board games, RPG systems and simple games for my Commodore 64. In 1993, a level editor for Doom dragged me into the lovely world of level design.
