My name is Balázs Vecsey, I am a Software Engineer currently working at a small Danish startup called Wombo Games. I created this website mainly to serve as my creative outlet, but I am also striving to provide useful and quality content.
I started my creative career as a LEGO enthusiast, but after I exhausted all possibilities with the limited bricks I had, I was looking for something with more limitless potential. I always liked videogames, so making them was the next logical step. I started by creating levels for existing games, mostly for Jazz Jackrabbit 2, then finally began to learn programming to code my own games in various programming languages.
Hobbies
I like to try out many things, but my main focus is videogame development, electronics with Arduino, and building original ideas with LEGO. I sometimes combine these, and end up with automated or remote controlled LEGO builds. I share my results in my Developer Blog, usually with building instructions, schematics and source code, so you can download and build them for yourself, or just to get inspired.
You can check out my finished games and apps hosted here for free under the My Work category, or take a look around in my Developer Blog, there might be a topic you’ll find interesting:
