I worked together with Flo at 999 Games. In his time at 999 Games Flo has set-up an entire new process on working with game authors directly, with a purpose of publishing these in our domestic market as well as exporting them to publishing partners worldwide.

During this process, Flo was responsible for scouting and communication with authors. After a strict selection procedure of these concepts Flo was project lead on selected projects to help further develop gameplay, set-up rules and manual, select theme, instruct and communicate with graphic designers and instruct internal co-workers on production matters.

Being an experienced game designer himself, Flo has acted as an appreciated sparring partner to many authors and as a result 999 Games could publish some great titles like Queensland, Sneaky Bastard, Don Juan and Exoplanet.

Flo excels at organising multi-disciplinary work processes into very structured ways of working. He is a self-starter, has a great eye for details, has a clear vision and an overall creative colleague. A combination which is rare and can add a lot of value.

I’ve worked closely together with Flo with great pleasure for almost 4 years. He is a dedicated, enthusiastic and passionate worker, who over the years made the game design department at 999 Games a very professional and organised one, with some great games as a result of that! Flo is very structured, punctual and will not miss a deadline. He holds up a high standard and will work on projects until they are up to that standard and nothing less.

I believe working on the theme of a board game is one of his major strengths, he will deep dive into a subject and will make sure it is accurate, appropriate and fitting for the game and the audience. On top of that he has a great vision and is able to present that to the people around him with good and clear data and visuals. I believe this combination of professionalism, passion and vision makes him a great colleague to have in the team.

I worked with Flo for the Queensland board game project, published by 999 Games. Flo developed my prototype and turned it into an excellent final product. I was extremely impressed with Flo's management of the entire project, which included rules revisions, graphical and presentation ideas, playtest data collection, manufacturing, and art direction for the illustrator. The end product is spectacular, all due to Flo's expertise.

I highly recommend Flo for any board game development project, or any project management position!

When Flo was the editor for my game „The Brain“, I was constantly amazed by the amount of commitment and thought that he put into the development of the product. Not only did he simply care for the game, but also went the extra mile to iterate on the product, which resulted in an easy to teach, easy to remember and colour vision deficiency proof product. He elevated my games functionality to a whole new level while keeping me constantly in the loop and I will be eternally grateful for that.
I wish him all the best and hope to work with him as my editor again in the future.

I have worked with Flo on the "EXOPLANET" project. During this time, I got to know him as a very creative, conscientious, and competent editor. He always had great and plentiful ideas and worked very professionally while also being passionate. I am extremely happy with the final product! And that is particularly thanks to him! I highly value him as an editor and would be happy to work with him again anytime!
Thanks again, Flo!

Flo has helped 999 games and us as authors very well with Zinga. Because of Flo, Zinga has become even better and more professional.

I met Flo in 2019, when I contacted him to present boardgame prototypes and we started the joint production of the game DON JUAN, published by 999 Games, Netherlands. He made the art direction and tested that time and again. Flo is very professional, has extensive knowledge in different areas, which contributes a lot to the development of board game projects. Besides being a person of great humour!

In 2019 I brought my self-designed card game 'Neon party' to 999 Games. This game has been further developed in collaboration with Flo and released in 2020 under the name 'Samoa'. I have experienced the collaboration with Flo as very pleasant. During the collaboration, the game has been given a unique theme that has been worked out very well. In addition, Flo has an eye for detail, which made the game work even better with a few adjustments.
