Bossmob at the mothership of the rcp family - making games since ´01

Since 2005 I am an independent entrepreneur in gaming with our own company rcp, still sitting at the helm. I learned my trade playing games since I was 4 years, sold games for years (my first less official venture as a kid and later in a store), writing about them during university and nearly 5 years of Take2 Interactive where i gained a lot of exp and had quite an unplanned positive impact on their revenue. It was a great time and well suited education for what came next.

When we started rcp in a souterrain (fancy word for basement) we wanted to empower developers while making better games with a sustainable process. Now we are a management company with an a whole group of studios (>12) under the rcp family umbrella with hundreds of game makers in multiple countries and 3 continents. I also decided early on that I could only do this in my home town if we also change perception of the industry as a whole; so I am an avid lobbyist/politician for games in Bavaria (MD of "GBM") and also on an European level (president of "EGDF"), support a lot of educational initiatives (ex. currently the chair of production at S4G in Berlin), founded the biggest German speaking game culture club, own 2300 games on steam (pretty decent % of played :) ) and started pro bono mentoring startup founders from other industries >10 years ago.  Happy to connect! 

I love my job, I push myself for growth and I will never give up in general or playing games in particular.

Keep on gaming

Leading the mothership of Europe's biggest game developer family since 2005. :)

my great colleagues and especially Chris Reiner made this  figurine for my 20th anniversary being with remote control productions.

since the last 3ish years have been extra hectic, i feel i reflected to little about that so far. 

what i can share though is, that i am damn proud of what we achieved :)

rcp is still one of its kind.
our purpose statement says we empower and emancipate game devs to create sustainable.
wtf does it mean, some of you might ponder?

it means we become partners (minority shareholding and beyond) of studios. not as an additional founder person but add. founder army. we dont give the teams money but brains, time, sweat and the feeling of belonging and not being alone.

we support them with lots of corp topics, bizdev, and production. we are not their publishers though.
we call it a production company who partners longterm and pushes a same boat experience.

last week's summit and end of the year holiday extravaganza (thats when i took the pic ;)),
proves me that a lot of it works and lives. also for me.

so thanks alot to all the studio and team heads, all the colleagues in the studios, our friends, allies and clients for helping to make this a reality for 2 decades 🖖🙏

i appreciate you (even if i am not great at showing it daily), i salute you (the crazy ups and downs we had and still going) and high five everyone for the coop adventures we have 😎👊🏼

to another 20 turns :)
and then just one more
or maybe another one.
cause the drones need us

as i speak in references a lot, plz dont be offended by any semantics here 👹 but rather comment what they are 🥸

enjoy

No alternative text description for this image

one thing we do for a long time is doing onsites for the rcp crew normally 3x a year. 

i always start by sharing how i see rcp right now and who we are (repeating officer of purpose, vision, values :)) our previous goals, how we were doing and ofc an outlook going forward. 

this is meant to underline & align on the cause and show a tomorrow

it includes mottos and 1st principles - often expressed with memes 
here is a glimpse and slide from today. enjoy
