I make games! I'm also a Magic: the Gathering player. Creative Director on Minecraft Dungeons II (and 1), previously lead designer on Scrolls. Opinions my own, working at Mojang.

Look I don’t post often but Diablo II Resurrected just got a new expansion. Wild, and fantastic. Easily one of my favourite games of all time. I remember eagerly awaiting the collector’s edition of the original, brought from abroad by family friends, more than 25 years ago. That’s some longevity.

I’m later than I should have been to Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, but @simogo.com have created something magical again. It gives me everything I loved from Device 6, which I still hold to be one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played.

Got a good reminder of how fun it can be to play video games together in person today. Counter-Strike with friends at a gaming venue! Felt more or less the same as it would have in 2001.

Hello, I'm Måns! I'm a game director at Mojang, where I've worked on Minecraft Dungeons, Scrolls, the Minecraft Launcher and other things for the last 11 years. I used to be very active in Java4k (a 4kb programming competition) and Ludum Dare in the past, as well. #GameDev

I made an account here to join the exodus. It does remind me of early days Twitter, in a good way. But what do I post? It’s been a long time since I’ve been involved in indie games or jams. Work is mostly handled via other channels. Can I sustain an account with only pictures of my dog?
