My name is Martin Bakardzhiev and I've been creating video, live-action, role-playing and board games over the past ten years. I've been working on both professional and personal projects and I've also founded my own brand for board and card games - DICEWIDEOPEN. My background in 2d/3d art and architecture has helped me a lot in designing my games and thus I was able to clearly communicate my ideas to the whole team and take a more versatile role in the process (narrative, art, world building, creative direction, level design, UI/UX).
Some of my free time goes towards organizing the local Sofia Game Jam as well as hosting special LARP evenings of my game Who Shot The Sheriff.
