Here we are. Serious Sim.
A group of people from Poland who thought that since they love playing video games so much, they should create one themselves. And then another, and another, and… here we are. A few games in and we still love it! Not only as players anymore, but also as developers.
We like stories that don't avoid difficult topics. Cooperation in the creative process is essential to us. We also adore that moment in the morning before the first coffee, when you realise that your work is cool and will be fun.
We’re embracing uniqueness in all it’s glory!

JAKUB BUKAŁA
CEO / Project Leader
Some say that he has a PhD in computational mechanics, but left academia to make video games and teach academic students in that field. One thing is certain though, he is a proud nerd - interactive media, board games and role-playing enthusiast! He loves strategy and RPG games. He also likes mountain hiking and riding a bike. He is a social democrat. Currently a CEO, project leader, producer, programmer and occasional game designer at Serious Sim.

KATARZYNA HAPTAŚ
Art Director
There's nothing else she loves more than creating little stories in her drawings and paintings. Except for her dog. And her husband. And good food. And nature. And naps. In the end drawing isn't that importnt to her but that's what she does for a living. Once she ran a marathon and didn't die which is a plus.

MARCIN KRZESZOWIEC
TechArtist
Mechanical engineer turned GameDev somewhere along the way. The perfect storm of an outdoors lover and a couch potato with a mix of hobbies and passions from both worlds. He is equally likely to mountain hike for a week or engage in an 40 hour DOTA2 marathon. Photography, classical fencing, youtube binging, enduro riding, beer and board games are all valid ways to spend free time to him.

DAMIAN CZAJKA
Sound Designer / Music Composer
As a child, his grandfather used to tell him that he was wasting his time playing computer games and the piano. He wasn't bothered by that and decided to combine the two into his lifelong passion. Today he plays games as part of his work and finally no one can tell him anything wrong. Music flows through his veins, so what transports oxygen in him? Scientists should study this.

SZYMON ADAMUS
Business Development Manager
He believes that spending 1/3 of life working on something you don't like is a terrible waste of time. Finds people interesting and extremely inspiring. Even if they can also be horrible at times. Very happy husband to his high school sweetheart. They take care of two cats and spend entire weekends playing co-op games and eating lasagna.
