I started at Paradox back in 2001 and have worked on most internally developed titles ever since, in varying capacities (scripter, programmer, project lead, and/or designer.) After designing and co-designing several games and expansions (notably Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings and Crusader Kings II), I became the Game Director of the studio in June 2014.
I am particularly passionate about procedural storytelling and emergent narrative in open worlds.
Today, Paradox consists of both publishing and internal game development. We have a broad portfolio of games and own the most important brands, including Stellaris, Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings, Cities: Skylines, Prison Architect, Victoria, Age of Wonders and the World of Darkness catalog of brands.
Since 2004, the company has published its games all over the world, initially through physical distribution but primarily in digital channels after 2006. Paradox games are developed primarily for PC and console platforms, but the company also releases games on mobile. The largest markets today include the US, UK, China, Germany, France and Scandinavia. In total, Paradox games have over five million players each month.
