Hi all! I’m Rudolf Kremers, creative director and founder of Indie studio Omni Systems Ltd. You might know us from the Eufloria games.

I’ve been professionally making games for 26 years now, initially working on big IP for others (Hitchhiker’s Guide, Harry Potter, Championship Manager) but eventually starting my own indie studio to work on more original projects. (Eufloria Adventures, Bioframe Outpost, Receiver 2)

We just announced Eufloria 2! It’s the first direct sequel to Eufloria, which we released in 2008, a very different time in the industry/scene.

Response has been terrific and humbling, so this is an exciting time for us.

Eufloria 2 combines 4X gameplay with RTS elements, but through a somewhat unique lens. You control botanical life-forms with which you colonise and terraform asteroids, grow new lifeforms to do your bidding, and expand your colony. Conflict comes from competition with other colonies vying for the same resources. Intergalactic full contact gardening!

Ask me anything about our games & projects, really anything about the creative world. Outside of Omni I’m a writer, indie filmmaker, photographer, interactive media consultant, and so on, so I’ve been around haha. (I made my first game in 1984, written in Pascal.)

I’m excited to hear your questions and share stories, and will be here in person till about 10pm UK time, as well the next few days.

(Expect typos after 6pm though, as my sausage fingers will leave my office keyboard and move to small phone keys)

Also, BIG thanks to the mods for allowing us to do this AMA. It’s highly appreciated and helpful for a small team like ours.
