MARCUS ANDRÉ LIE

Lead Technical Artist

ABOUT ME

Love to have you here on my site. I was born and raised in Norway, and I’ve always loved video games. Since we spend so much of our lives working, I wanted to do something I genuinely have a passion for. Choosing a career in game development. especially in Norway, where the industry is relatively small felt like a risk, but it’s one I’ve never regretted.
 

I’ve been working in the industry since January 2019, building several years of experience along the way. I started out as a programmer, primarily working with Blueprints prototyping and polishing game mechanics, but gradually transitioned into Technical Art. My original goal was to become an Environment Artist, but breaking into the industry as an artist was more challenging, so I leaned more into programming after finishing school.
 

Technical Art turned out to be the perfect fit, allowing me to combine both art and technical aspects of game development. It’s a bit of a Generalist role, which suits me perfectly.
