Bio
Acke Hallgren
Adam worked as the mission scripter on the DLC of Rage 2 which meant that him and I collaborated a lot. He took on a huge work-load by himself, and delivered on tricky technical scripting-tasks all while making other people's work shine. Adam is always listening to what the game and the other designers need, while having his own insights into what is needed for quality makes Adam a joy to work with.
Bart Huisman
I met Adam when I came into Starbreeze as an intern, where he was much like a mentor to me, a relationship which grew into becoming trusted peers and friends over the years that followed. Concerned with on-boarding in not just his levels, but for new recruits in the team itself, Adam is an incredibly valuable person to have on any project. He cares about the process as much as the product, and through that he empowers people around him to achieve more and think critically about the task at hand. Adam is an excellent level designer, with a great philosophy about game design in general. He works well with others and is not afraid to provide insight into better working practices as well as take the initiative when he feels things have to improve. He naturally understands the constraints and opportunities that a given toolset and group of people provide, and can navigate the interlinked structure of co-workers and their responsibilities with ease to get the job done in the best possible way. I will miss Adam tremendously as someone to bounce ideas off of, but I am happy to know he will go on to do great things and strengthen any team that will have the privilege to work with him in the future.
