Before starting his own studio, Thor has worked at Blizzard Entertainment as an offensive security specialist and at Amazon Games Studio as a Python developer.

Titles

  • Gandalf of Games
  • Father of Ferrets
  • Goblin King
  • Lord of the PiratePass
  • Hacker of the Powerplants
  • The Son of Community's Father (yearjoy)
  • The Twitcher Who Dressed as a Hotdog
  • Thorporate Overlord
  • Long Lemon

Early life

Before starting his own studio, Thor has worked at Blizzard Entertainment as an offensive security specialist and at Amazon Games Studio as a Python developer. During his time at Amazon Games, he was bought out by the US government to use his hacking skills to help secure power plants in the United States. Thor has attended DEF CON multiple times and has won three "Black Badges", an indicator of high knowledge and proficiency in the hacking field. Thor also miraculously has a birthday everyday, scientists are still trying to figure out how this is possible.

At Pirate Software

The Breakfast Era

While working at Amazon Games, Thor has been developing indie games on the side. His first project, Champions of Breakfast, was a small shoot 'em up developed in GameMaker and published in just under a month. While it has not received tremendous success, it allowed Thor to acquire the necessary skills to develop and self-publish a video game, as well as learn the engine he chose to work with. During this time, Thor has also acquired Shaye, who would go on to work on Pirate Software's future projects as well.

The Heartbound Era

After finishing work on Champions of Breakfast, Thor has started work on an RPG known as Heartbound, which was a project he dreamt of making ever since he was a child. The original draft for Heartbound was a "choose-your-own-adventure" book, but it evolved into a more complete video game over time. Heartbound is also made in GameMaker, and, as of writing, is still being developed, available only in Early Access.

At one point, jacksepticeye has played an early build of Heartbound [1], which has brought Thor enough income to be able to quit corporate jobs and focus entirely on his work at Pirate Software.


He has gained popularity in the creator space is shown by the colossal accumulation of over 1.3 Million subscribers in just 4 short months via the use of shorts and streaming.

Thor broke the Twitch Hype Train record 4 times:

The First Time on the 13/12/23 at 179% past level 55

The Second time on the 15/12/23 at 512% past level 55

The Third time on the 29/12/23 at 1906% past level 55

And the Fourth time on the 1/4/24 at 47% past level 105


Consequently, he won the Streamer Awards 2024 as "Best Software and Game Development Streamer".

The Future

After finishing Heartbound, Thor plans to work on a game called Kill the Moon (an action rogue-lite), as well as an as-of-yet-unnamed rhythm game. There is not much information available around any of these future projects.
