Johannes Deml – About me

Game Developer – Living in Hamburg, Germany

Hello, my name is Johannes Deml. I love playing games, so I decided to make my own games when I was fourteen. In school I enjoyed participating in math contests and so I found myself studying at Technical University Vienna in October 2011. I finished my Bachelors Degree in 2015 and moved to Hamburg for my Masters studies at HAW Hamburg. There I met Andreas with whom I co-founded Supyrb in 2016. In 2018 we released our debut title Marbloid on iOS. I finished my master studies at HAW Hamburg in August 2021 and started working at InnoGames as a frontend game developer in July 2021 and been working on the game Sunrise Village ever since.

Besides writing clever code, I enjoy solving hard problems, making handy game dev tools, creating smart shaders and fancy effects, cycling to work every day and of course drinking good coffee. ☕
