Rain Games AS is a Norwegian independent video game developer forged from a cooperative community of local artists and programmers. We are interested in building a world that players can uncover through hints and details scattered within our games.
We are now composed of two development teams working on our next projects: Teslagrad 2 and Girl Genius!
TEAM ONE – Teslagrad 2
Peter Wingaard
CEO, Team leader and Level Design
Our dear, all-powerful boss! When he does not run the company he handles game design and storytelling.
Inventing and designing games since he was 12, he loves good stories and bold choices. He took a small break to study physics before going back to his first love and founding Rain Games.

Dad jokes enthusiast, with the superpower to make bad puns materialize out of thin air. Likes swimming, sun, cats and old movies.

His main work consists in environment art and building worlds, but he also enjoys programming now and then.

TEAM 2 – Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne
Kenneth
Team leader, Game designer
He’s the Tiki-shirt wearing Team Leader as well as a cocktail shaker! He lived a previous life as a professional Bar Manager before deciding that game development was his true calling.
He handles the reins of his team, the design decisions of his project, and even makes critical business decisions!

He is always working on something, big or small, and it brings him great joy to see people entertained by what he makes.

Evangelia Koutsoukou
Artist
Born and raised in the land of moussaka, with a background in Fine Arts. After moving to Norway, Rain took her in to work with 2D and 3Dassets, as well as anything creative that she can contribute to!
There’s nothing she loves more than playing video games, curled up on the couch with her two cats.
Roland Kvam
Programmer
His job consists in programming and implementing mechanics to create organised chaos!
On the side, he makes 3D, likes to cook, dabbles a bit with dancing and will never say no to a good movie marathon.
Did we mention? He can run a pretty fast 100m. Especially if he’s got running shoes with lights. “They go so fast!”
Management
Aleksander Egeland
Administrative secretary, chief of finances
Aleksander is a Russian linguist turned game-developer and one of the Rain’s founders.
In addition to writing for Mesmer, he translated the entire game into Russian! His favourite games genre are open world RPG and sandbox survival. He can spend 40+ hours in an RPGs without advancing the main plot because, as we all know, exploration is where the fun is!
Marion Claireaux
Management
French ex-scientist who got adopted by the company to put out potential fires!
There is nothing she likes more than a new challenge, and is unstoppable once her mind is set. She loves going to the gym, teaches dancing and will make sure to provide a constant supply of french crêpes at the office.
