I am always concerned about the opinions of other developers and the fan base. So i am usually showing a lot of unfinished work on the forum.

I was contributing to many different aspects of the project. Pixel artist, mapper, programmer, game concepts and i even tried to compose music, although with minor success. My credo is "when you want something to be done properly, do it yourself". I have retired from TMW development because my job doesn't allow me to invest that much time anymore and I would rather like to invest the limited time I have into my own project. But I am still moderating the TMW forum and give advice to my successors there.
