LeafThief is a Vienna-based game developer and pixel artist. By day he's a professional game developer (for Mi'pu'mi Games) who's passion for making games drives him to make even more games at night (these are the games up here on itch). He has been making games since 2011, regularly participating in game jams such as Ludum Dare. He likes to introduce himself as a gamejam enthusiast.

Ambitions

Leafthief wants tells stories through games utilizing characters as a main device to do so. In both mechanics and narrative he likes to think of how the game and it's underlying system transport something about how it feels to be that character - the game as a characteristic expierence or - if you will - letting the player walk a mile in someone else's shoes.
One of leafthief's key development tools is aligning the emotional world of player and character to maybe - just maybe - get a point across or inspire insight.
