Benja makes videogames.

Benjamin Jaekle is a seasoned gamecrafter, whose dozen+ years of experience spans roles in game design, storytelling, production, and creative leadership.

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.

​
His past works include the blockbuster AAA Just Cause franchise and quirky indie survival RPG Voxile. His work has taken him to New York, Amsterdam, Sweden, New Orleans, Mexico City, and Los Angeles.​


​Benja is a practicing meditator, a hyggevangelist, and an enthusiastic home chef. He and his wife are on a quest to hike the 46 High Peaks of the Adirondacks. They have two children, only one of whom is named after a Lord of the Rings character.​
