Johannes Thimme, a seasoned figure in the gaming industry, is embarking on an exciting new chapter with the establishment of Quality Time, a studio dedicated to crafting original games while also offering consultation and mentoring services. Thimme’s journey in the gaming world began in 2012 when he joined Ubisoft as a live producer at their Dusseldorf studio. His impressive portfolio includes contributions to high-profile titles such as Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Rainbow Six Siege, and Might & Magic. Prior to his tenure at Ubisoft, he honed his skills at Deep Silver and Mail.ru Games.
Fostering Growth in Lower Saxony
Thimme envisions Quality Time as a catalyst for growth in the gaming landscape of Lower Saxony, a region he believes holds untapped potential. “I often hear from developers who’ve been in the industry for a long time that they can imagine living outside the big cities – that’s a real opportunity for the region,” he remarked. His ambition is not only to create engaging games but also to cultivate a vibrant creative hub that nurtures both seasoned developers and emerging talent.
In a landscape where the gaming industry is more established in other German states, Thimme’s commitment to building a community in Lower Saxony is both timely and inspiring. He hopes that Quality Time Studio will play a significant role in shaping the future of game development in the area, fostering collaboration and innovation among local creators.
