About

Hi there.

I’m Reko, a game designer working in the glorious game industry. I’m currently acting as the lead game designer in Digital Chocolate’s award-winning Sumea studio, in Helsinki. In the past, I’ve worked as a game designer at Bugbear Entertainment and have experience with all kinds of past and current generation consoles along with handhelds of all kind.

This blog was a necessity born out of the fact that I had been blogging since 2001 on my personal blog, which was in finnish, and my occasional need to blog about game industry stuff which is more sensible to do in english. I didn’t want to mix those two together and I also needed an outlet for the stuff I do at work. The presentations I have had, the problems I deal with and whatever I think is cool in the way game design nowadays works.

I’ll blog about games of all kind (being an avid boardgamer), game reviews, articles and opinions related to the industry. As was with my personal blog, I do this mostly for myself. I started blogging since I wanted to be a better writer and this is just an extension of that.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for the visit!
