Timon TrzepaczDeveloper BIO
Tim Trzepacz's first commercial game was
"Pirates! Gold" for the Sega Genesis in 1993. He also worked on several other unreleased titles for
Microprose, including the MS-DOS version of "Magic-The Gathering".
He also worked on the English-language version of
"Princess Maker 2" for MS-DOS. This game was slated to be released by
Ignite, but that company folded before the game's release.
Following that, he worked as
Working Designs' only programmer for several years, completing localizations of
"Iron Storm",
"Dragon Force",
"Albert Odyssey" and
"Magic Knight Rayearth" for Sega Saturn, and
"Lunar: The Silver Star Story",
"Silhouette Mirage",
"Vanguard Bandits" and
"Lunar 2: Eternal Blue" for Playstation before leaving the company. Ports of
"Silhouette Mirage" and
"Lunar 2" were completed by
Ken Innes.
He did a brief (purposefully uncredited) stint at
3DO on the abysmal game
"Portal Runner" for Playstation 2 before moving on to
Insomniac Games.
At
Insomniac Games, he was a senior gameplay programmer on
"Ratchet & Clank" and
"Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando". He also did some prototype work on
"Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal" before moving on in 2004.
From 2004 onward, Tim became a freelance contract programmer, reviving his company
SoftEgg Enterprises that he had started for
Princess Maker 2. In that time, he has worked on a number of games for different companies, including
James Bond 007: From Russia with Love from
Electronic Arts,
Silent Hill: Origins for
Climax Group and
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters on Playstation Portable for
High Impact Games.
