It’s hot. Not something friendly like sunny or warm. It’s hot. Think of white hot charcoal, a furnace, think of burning air and lava streams. This is what it feels like. Good thing we have a new coffee machine. Not. We’d need a chest freezer with crushed ice now. So this is summer. We’re not used to these kind of temperatures in Hamburg. Usually good weather in Hamburg is when the rain falls vertically. Interesting trivia: Hamburg lies to the north of London (as far as latitude is concerned) and has more rainfall, too. But: the city is full of canals and has more bridges than Venice (although there aren’t any places to sit in the shadow at the canals anywhere). It’s still the nicest city and Game Developer Capital of Germany. It’s just … hot!

A nerve-wrecking week has passed. Worst nighmares had become true. Our coffee machine was broken.
As you may be able to tell by interpreting this highly complex chart from American Scientific there is a close relationship between productivity and coffee. Have a look at the slope in the morning and see for yourself how coffee verifiably increases the incline. Also, lunchbreak is but a light dent and in the afternoon productivity stays high.
Today, our new coffee machine was shipped, installed and coffee was immediately implemented. All is well now. No-one had to die. We are all thankful we survived this terrible time.

Stefan "Sec"
Here’s our World Golf Tour project manager: Stefan Eik Christiansen. He handles the communication with our client and coordinates all deadlines and tasks with our team of developers and Q&A. Stefan is a biker and runner and never thougt he’d be assigned to dive into golfing. Now, he knows all about eagles, birdies, bogeys, sand saves, green in regulation and much more. On a more personal side: He’s also known as “Sec”, he calls his Apple notebook “Sec’s machine” and passionately hates Internet Explorer

Robert
Continuing with our team member introductions, this friendly fellow is Robert, EVP Marketing & Sales. May I? Robert, the world – the world, Robert. If you’ve been to one of the trade fairs where we go such as the Games Convention, GDC, Casual Connect and the like, you’ll probably have met him. Also, if you’ve enquired about business opportunities, you’ll very likely have received mail from him.
Robert is not only busy explaining and selling Neutron and Photon, holding speeches and managing clients, he’s also a keyboard player and enjoys the art of surreal Skype personal messages such as “hail to the mustard”.

Chris
Continuing our team introductions: This is our CTO and Exit Games founder Christof Wegman, also known as Chris, also known as Bertelmonster2K, also known as He’s-in-a-meeting. Chris is wireframed to all our servers, he receives downtime alerts by brain implant and dreams in binary patterns.
Apart from that he’s a great boss, the best boss on earth, actually we thought about nominating him for president, we all love to make him an extra coffee, and I’m writing all of this just in case he reads it.
Chris loves good food and travels, his wife and his baby daughter, and best of all, he loves BBQ-ing just as much as I do, so I’m pretty confident we’ll have a great BBQ summer fest this year again.

Now that we have this blog, wouldn’t it be great if all of Exit Games’ team members would stop by, maybe contribute some posts and introduce themselves? Well, the problem is, or rather the good reason for this not happening is that they need to work. Which on a side track just makes me wonder if it’s a clever idea that I take any time to post here … Oh, well, where was I? Oh yes, the Exit Games team.
Tobias
Let me introduce our lead client engineer, Tobias Schweers. He is responsible and coordinates the development of the various client libraries of Neutron and Photon. He knows absolutely everything about every command there is and on top of that he also knows why this is the case, since he’s involved in concept and development of new functions as well. Sometimes support enquiries seem to get him close to taking out his “RTFM” t-shirt, but in the end he’s too much of a nice and helpful guy, enjoying red wine and a decent multiplayer gaming session.
