Huge thanks to Mek, Martin, and Nils of âȘTriassic Games⏠for joining us, and sharing their Sea Power journey.
Martin Leidel grew up with C64 and Amiga, and was part of the demo coding scene. His first programmed game was a board game (on Amiga) in Assembly language. After school, Martin joined the German Luftwaffe for 4 years, where he worked as a radar operator. Afterwards, he studied computer science, and worked for 16 years as a software engineer for a medical company. Martin returned to game dev in 2011, eventually co-founding Triassic Games with Nils and Mek.
Przemek Starkiewicz (Mek Stark) is co-founder and co-owner of Triassic Games. Before jumping into game dev, he used to be an architect, working for a decade in a family run architectural studio. As a hobbyist modding for Strike Fighters flight sims series by Thirdwire, he befriended Nils Ducker, who invited Mek to work on the Atlantic Fleet game. Mek spent 4 years as a contractor for Killerfish Games before co-founding Triassic Games and working on Sea Power.
Nils DĂŒcker has been into graphics and game development all his life, ever since he had a C-64 as a child. Once an industrial machinist, he has pursued a career in game development that saw him working as an artist on titles such as Battlefield 3, the Little Big Planet 2 franchise and later as lead artist on The Perils of Man, but his greatest achievement so far is founding Killerfish Games, where he oversaw the art direction of and co-designed Pacific Fleet, Atlantic Fleet and Cold Waters. He has also served in the Royal Swedish Navy, as a combat systems operator.
