The tower we're busy creating for the game WT: UTOPIA TOWER ENDGAME will be divided into areas that serve a specific function. Such as a gathering place in the main area which can be compared to something like a town square, a little harbour where new citizens are welcomed and freight boats dock. In the game you will have to build an ecosystem that is optimized equally for the earth itself and its residents. Against the backdrop of climate change and resources becoming scarcer, our game aims to show a future scenario in which it will prove meaningful and helpful to have created and developed an independent, sustainable and collaborative system and to become increasingly independent from external supply chains.

The vision piece for our simulation game WT: UTOPIA TOWER ENDGAME is really starting to take shape. Our team is busy defining certain areas of the tower such as the living space for the citizens and the agricultural hub where the crops are grown, which can be accessed by crossing the bridge. As a player you will be responsible for steering your citizens into a certain direction by creating either a circular economy on the tower, a capitalistic system or other options.

Meet the team! This is Viviana, a colleague from the Neufilm Production company with who we have been working with.

"I was born and raised in Stuttgart and moved to Leipzig at the beginning of 2020. I've been working at Neufilm since August and have been working closely with the team over at expanding focus since then as well. I am a Producer and responsible for various projects including the planning, coordinating and organizing projects and shoots. My ideal VR world would be a small studio with lots of records, plants, a few instruments and of course a small dancefloor. A relaxing walk with my dog, a fresh cup of coffee and a good playlist is all I need to start my day right."

Meet the team! This is Julia Jochheim, our Social Media Manager and Translator.

"I was born in Zurich and grew up in Cape Town, South Africa for most of my life. I've been in Leipzig since 2018 and at expanding focus since 2020. I am the Social Media Manager and in-house Translator (German and English) at the company. My ideal VR world would be underwater where I can swim with whales and discover new crazy organisms that live at the bottom of the sea. I always need a strong cup of coffee and good music to start my day right."

Meet the team! This is Violeta Garkova, our 2D and 3D Artist.

"I am originally from Sofia, Bulgaria and have been with the company since October 2020. I am a Multimedia Design Master graduate of Burg Giebichenstein KHS in Halle. At the company I am responsible for 2D conception and 3D visualisations. My ideal virtual world is colourful, animated and full of adventure. To start my day right I need a cup of coffee and good music and I am 'ready to go'. In my free time I like to illustrate and create my own comics."

Meet the team! This Robert Dorn, our Unity Developer and Programmer.

"I was born and raised in Leipzig and I've been with expanding focus since 2019. I am the Unity Developer in charge of programming, TechArt, shader and 3d modelling at the company. My ideal VR world would be a small tropical island with turquoise waters and a beautiful beach. I always need a cup of coffee to start my day right."

Meet the team! This is Burkhard Schütz, our Website and Print Designer and Head of PR and IT.

"I come from Thuringia and moved to Leipzig in 2015. I have been with expanding focus since 2018. I am responsible for all kinds of tasks in the area of IT administration, design and maintenance of websites, design of brochures and product information and occasional PR activities. My ideal VR world would be a field of experimentation for a collaborative environment which would resemble a freely designable model building world - a bit like Minecraft but less angular and edgy. I always need exercise to start my day right."

Meet the team! This is Thomas Bernhardt, our Production Manager and Producer.

"I was born in the country side in Büttstedt, Thuringia. I moved to Leipzig in 2011 and have been at the company since 2017. I am the Production Manager and Producer. My ideal VR world would be diverse, colourful, peaceful and open minded. A place with no racism, no homophobia and no exclusion, sustainable and fair to all living beings. I always need a shower, a cup of coffee and a cigarette to start my day right."

Meet the team! This is Alexander Herrmann, our Co-Founder and Head of Development.

"I grew up in Lörrach, in the southwest of Germany. After living in Munich, New Orleans, Dubai, Shanghai and Berlin I settled in Leipzig and founded expanding focus in 2016. I am Head of Development, Co-founder, owner and Managing Director. I hope that through fiction and VR worlds we can create new ideas for a beautiful future, bring people together, try out ideas and mechanisms that are not (yet) possible in the analogue world, but which inspire and drive them forward. To start my day right I always need a cigarette and some fruit juice."
