New Pirate on The Ship

By Mads Hagemann Nielsen - QA & Community Manager

Hello Miners,

​Let me introduce myself.  I am Mads Hagemann Nielsen, and just to be clear, you do not pronounce the ‘d’ in my first name :).
I am newest pirate on the ship, and the youngest, and helping out Søren with various tasks from Marketing to Social Media. My title is QA & Community Manager, so i am the pirate that will keep on you!

This is me! :)

I have hold a MSc in Media Technology with specialization in Games, where I have focused on User Experience (UX) Design, User Research (UR) and Game Design.
So what does that have to do with QA & Community Management?

• I love to work with people and understand how they think. To learn the behavior of others is a great passion of mine.
• I have also been co-organizer for one of the biggest game jams in the world - Nordic Game Jam, and currently I am a substitute on the board of IGDA Denmark.

Then to be QA & Community Manager in a company started by old veteran pirates, is an awesome start of my career in the games industry. The founders have more than 100 years of game development experience combined. That does not only suit me well in my position in the company, but it will also in the game that we are making together!

How is it to work at Ghost Ship game?

It is amazing! I have had a lot to do in my first month in the small veteran based company. Making plans for social media, setting up new websites, which you may see soon (hopefully :) ), going to Nordic Game Conference in Malmø and more seems to happen.
The office is in an office community name Univate, which is a part of The University of Copenhagen, so the feeling of University is still near, even when you are with veteran ghosts :-P.

Equipment at Work

So I really think that I have cool setup at work, considering what I working with :)

​What more to ask for? :D

Sorry for that it looks like a mesh :)

Upcoming Things?​

I’ll try to work on making some lets play session, and play with the dev session, so you also can see how it is from our studio. It all depends on how much time we have, as we are all working our asses off! :) But please be patient it will happen sooner or later.

That's All Folks

​I am on Discord as “Mads - QA & Community”, please write to me if you have any questions, but I can not give you any secrets, like: “where are the treasures hidden in the world?”. As a pirate, you only keep those coordinates for yourself ;)
