Heill og sæll!
I guess it’s only fair to say a few words about myself, right? Here we go: my name is Artur, but in the creative industry and online, I go by The Viking Bastard. I know what cassette tapes are and remember when a floppy disk was more than just a save icon. My nickname is a nod to my love of Norse mythology – and my looks, though these days I’m a lot closer to a dwarf than to Ragnar (but it could be worse – I could look like an elf). My spirit animal is Gimli (LotR forever in my heart).
I love building worlds, characters, and stories that make people smile, move them, and stick in their minds long after the game or tale is over. For years, I’ve worked in the games industry as a QA (Quality Assurance), so I know what game development looks like from the inside – and working in game dev has always been my dream. Worldbuilding and poetry are my passions (and I hope I’m not too bad at it – see for yourself!). I enjoy dark humor, unexpected twists, and mixing classic fantasy (and more) with something new.
In work and in life, I value authenticity, inclusivity, and not taking myself too seriously – because every good story starts with a glass of milk honesty!
On this site you’ll find:
– my game design projects (items, characters, and more)
– poetic experiments and ideas for expanding concepts
– a journey through the creations of my cheerful mind
Make yourself at home – and if you feel like it, drop me a line! Maybe we’ll create something memorable together. In the meantime – happy reading!
