Hi! I’m Manu — Game Designer, Programmer, and Co-Founder at Lava Candy Games

(And if you ever come across Kreative Knowmad, that’s also me — in full solo-creative mode).

 

My journey with video games began with a handheld electronic pinball

from the 80s. It had a dozen LEDs to show the ball’s position and

a couple of buttons for the flippers.

The rest? That came from a child’s imagination.

 

Since I was a kid, I’ve always been curious and imaginative. I’d spend hours inventing scavenger hunts with neighborhood friends, diving into board games and card games, and dreaming up new ways to play.

Video games naturally became a big part of my life — from PC adventure games and RTS classics to arcade platformers and, of course, my beloved RPGs.

 

Today, at Lava Candy Games, I channel that passion into designing mechanics, levels, and game systems that bring ideas to life. I love programming characters, interactions, and the systems that make a world feel alive and meaningful.

 

When I work on personal projects or create digital art, I go by Kreative Knowmad — my creative, wandering alter ego.
