Thomas Essenburg

I am an experienced game developer with an extensive network of over 100 professionals: programmers, 2D/3D artists, animators, composers, cinematographers, and other specialists needed for both game development and IT projects. This allows for both solo assignments and full multidisciplinary projects to be executed at scale when a project requires it.

Tense Games has been around since 2008 and has since built a broad portfolio in both entertainment and business applications. In addition to our own PC and console titles, we also develop client projects such as:

- Stellar Warfare (on Steam)

- Fractured Alliance (on Steam)

- Seabed Settlers (on Steam)

- Sunny Grove (on Steam)

- Warship Survival (on Steam)

- A professional slot machine game for Canna UK

- A PMD recycling game for a Dutch municipality

- A 3D animation production for RET Rotterdam

- An educational puzzle game for a primary school

- Additionally, years of experience in building and maintaining WordPress websites, web tools, and interactive applications

As the developer of Stellar Warfare (Steam) and several other games — which have collectively garnered interest from over 150,000 players — extensive experience has been gained in the entire process from concept to commercial release. From prototypes and technical explorations to professional publishing, marketing, team coordination, and post-launch support.

- Game design, system design, and prototyping

- Programming (Unity / Unity 3D / C# and additional stacks)

- Art direction, visual style monitoring, and 2D/3D asset pipelines

- Technical architecture, tool development, and optimization

- Management of development teams and external specialists

- Planning and quality assurance

- Marketing strategy and Steam release processes

Almost anything is possible — from consultancy to development — so please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to think along with you about the optimal approach for every goal, budget, and timeline.
