Benja makes videogames.

Benjamin Jaekle - Benja - is a game designer and writer.

He's currently Lead Designer at VoxRay Games, working on indie FPS RPG survival game Voxile, currently in Early Access on Steam. Before that, he worked for a decade on AAA open worlds at Avalanche Studios.

In his free time, he’s crafting a cozy, lo-fi open world called Guernsey in the Graveyard. He tweets updates every single day, usually from a train or his kitchen table.

In his work, Benja puts Experience First. This is the pillar that inspires his greatest leaps, and the razor by which he makes the toughest cuts. He loves to make games feel juicy, focused, elegantly paced, playful, a little mischievous, and most of all — meaningful.

Incidentally, he loves the process of making games to feel the same way.

Benja is a husband and father of two. He dwells in the forests of the Hudson River Valley, where he cooks, hikes mountains, and meditates.
