1941 Frozen Front
1941 Frozen Front is the first installment in a highly successful series.
This turn-based World War II strategy game is one of HandyGames’ most successful titles. It is a remake of an older Java game from the early 2000s. I joined the team a few months before release and took on content design as well as the monetization design.
The Suvorov campaign was my creation. I supported the product through its release and for some time afterward. The game remains very popular and enjoys a large, dedicated fanbase.
Additionally, I created the initial Game Design Document (GDD) for the sequel, 1942 Pacific Front, before moving on to work on Devils & Demons.
