I and my wife had just had a baby boy, so I thought it would be a brilliant idea to resign and live off my savings while I make a game by myself. What can I do? What kind of games do I enjoy? I have played and enjoyed games like Gone Home, Firewatch, and Tacoma – maybe I could make one of those games? For almost four years, I was churning out hard-surface models and really enjoying my work.Īll in all, I have worked on big games, small games, canceled games, and DLCs for various games, doing everything from characters to grass textures.Īs Starbreeze/Overkill was going through tough times with the failed release of The Walking Dead, the idea of making my own game grew. Starbreeze/Overkill needed a Weapon Artist to work on their The Walking Dead game. I was enjoying my time working on research and pre-production for a new game, Crusader Kings 3, when I got an offer for the job I'd dreamed of back when I decided to become a 3D Artist – a Hard-Surface Artist. After DICE, I went to Paradox and worked on Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris. I started studying 3D art, worked hard to build a portfolio, and got a chance to work at DICE on DLC for Battlefield 3 and then Battlefield 4. ![]() ![]() After a couple of years, I realized that in Stockholm, I could actually work on something I care about – 3D art and games. I grew up on a farm in the north of Sweden and, after finishing high school, started working at a call center and then IT. Hey, I'm Joakim Larsen, and I live in Stockholm, Sweden.
