"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
-- Robert A. Heinlein

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.
