“I started playing Space Engineers in 2018 and got hooked on making programmable block scripts shortly after. I really enjoyed how the game lets you make scripts in C# because I already had experience from Unity that I could utilize. Eventually, I learned how to make a mod with the introduction of my Racing Display mod, a mod I designed for live racing events.

In 2021, I discovered plugins and I started my most successful project, Plugin Loader. It started out simply as a remake of a tool that I liked. What I didn’t realize is that I opened Pandora’s box by making that tool so popular. Even though it has been difficult, I am very glad Plugin Loader exists because it allows Space Engineers to be extended far further than the mod API could ever allow.

I really enjoy making things that the community uses, so expect more mods (but mostly plugins) from me in the future.“
