Vladimir - Lead Puzzle Builder
Vladimir started playing video games at the age of four. Over the years, he explored all kinds of games and even competed at the professional level in PES/eFootball. But while he enjoyed the variety of games, he was always fascinated by puzzles/brainteasers, and especially the challenge of creating them. Whenever a game allowed players to create custom puzzles or levels, Vladimir was eager to experiment, and spent countless hours creating his own puzzles for classics like Sokoban, as well as adventure classics like Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider. His main focus was always to find creative ways to challenge the player's brain.
When Vladimir became a programmer, he gained the ability to turn his ideas into playable games of his own, giving him an entirely new way to pursue his passion for brainteasers and puzzle design. His work eventually caught the attention of the staff at Uphill Studio, leading him to join the team as the Lead Puzzle Builder. Now, he hopes to share his creativity and love of building challenging puzzles with players around the world.
