About BrimFrame

I’m Daniel. I’ve worked as a web developer for about twenty years, and I live in Munich with my girlfriend and our cat.

I played a lot of games when I was younger. Later, they took a back seat for a long time. Indie games got me interested again, and I started wanting to make something of my own.

I’d like to make games for people with different tastes. I’m starting with a racer, but I don’t expect every game I make to be for the same audience.

BrimFrame is the name I make games under. I work on my own, and Riff Racers is my first project here.

I wanted a studio name I could use beyond Riff Racers. That ruled out anything too closely tied to racing, metal or music.

I worked through a long list of names. Some were already used by other studios or companies. Others felt too generic. BrimFrame stuck.

“Frame” made me think of the way a game shows you a world and sets its rules. It also has a straightforward link to games and visual media.

I liked “Brim” for its sense of an edge, and for “full to the brim”: having more ideas than I can use at once. Together, BrimFrame felt like a name I could keep using as the games changed.

Right now, most of my development time goes into Riff Racers. I’m working towards a first demo, with plenty left to do on the racing and computer-controlled drivers.

Working solo means deciding what I can reasonably finish. Sometimes that means leaving a feature out, even when I like the idea.
