Life is a passion.

Starting out as a young boy bobbing along with popular 90's rock hits and playing a variety of video-games, Wert has matured into a designer, musician, producer, coordinator and story-writer, who jumps around from project to project as he paves his way towards a career in the gaming industry. What started as a hobbie is now a way of life, ranging but not limited to movies, games, music, sketches, poems, movie scripts and various types of art.

 

But that's not how it all started. After finishing school, Wert studied in a Greek Merchant Marine Academy where he got his Captain Class C' certificate. Before the age of 22, he had already travelled to 6 continents and to over 40 different locations around the earth. 

After working for another year, he studied at Plymouth University in UK where he got his BSc in Shipping & Logistics and the next year his MSc in International Shipping.

 

However, just before finishing his thesis, Wert found Project Spark and Gameglobe, and then a strange turn of events occured. Gameglobe was an editor where you could use existing art assets and logic to create your own games, developed by Bigpoint and published by Square Enix. After a month creating in Gameglobe, Wert had already won the third place in an international competition held by Gameglobe staff. After that, he won another three weekly challenges. Finally, he won first place in the Quest Creation Challenge, where he got his game converted to an official Gameglobe campaign, featuring 5 levels and roughly an hour of gameplay.

 

Realizing his ability to make games, Wert quit from his merchant marine career and started exploring more of this new world. He moved into Project Spark, another game editor developed by Team Dakota and published by Microsoft Studios. Project Spark was the most exciting game editor he had ever experienced, so he decided to help develop a community website and a wiki which are today the largest resources in the Project Spark community. In addition, he formed a community advisory group that was in direct contact with the developers of Project Spark. This group came to be known as the "Community Advisory Group" and it was used to help Team Dakota with in-game moderation and critical design decisions. 

 

But he didn't stop there. Wert was passionate about creating games, so he continued making experiences in Project Spark. He is today the most featured creator in the world,  with over 15 different games and designs being featured for more than 20 weeks in total. He also has a total of 194k plays, 6k followers, has participated in multiple official streams and was one of the community members that promoted Project Spark in Pax East 2014.

 

Aside from his interest in game development, Wert is also a musician. Under the name of Dj Nvn, he has a range of more than  300 music tracks and an album distributed in 32 retailers around the globe. He also signed a contract with Sony Picture's subsidiary Motion Picture Corp. to produce a soundtrack for a movie and his music can also be found in the Unreal Engine Marketplace. 

Wert now creates UGC in Fortnite Creative, where he has been featured more than 25 times. Some of his works include the Dungeon Prison Saga Detective Stories Saga, Paranoia Tantrum Series, Fortnite World Cup Creative Finals Junkyard Juke (level design), Weezer World, Destiny x Fortnite (Javelin 4 level design), Coca-Cola Byte Launch (level design), Easy Life at the O2 (producer and designer) and many, many more.
