Today we take a closer look at Piotr Lipert, the creator of Psylocibe Games and the person driving PIGSODUS forward. In hope to give all the fans a fair overview of the man in charge, Piotr asked me to give you an unbiased description of his persona.

The first thing to know about Piotr is his energy. He seems to have a powerhouse plugged into his body making him think about a million ideas per minute while jogging and rock climbing at the same time.

Although I didn’t know Piotr when he was a teenager, he must have been some character already back then. He was born in Krakow, Poland, a city being a gateway to beautiful Tatra mountains, so no wonder he was hiking there even as a child. From his early years he was also a keen sailor, although he did have to travel to the Masurian Lake District for that.

Being a son of an IT engineer and a primary school teacher, he followed his father’s footsteps and wrote his first computer game when he was still in highschool. You can check it out here.

Later, he went on to study Information Technology and started a 3D printer business, which unfortunately went under despite all the innovative solutions introduced.

Not many people know Piotr is also a musician, playing guitar and harmonica. He used to be in a blues band, but the club they contracted for went under soon after their first appearance. Everyone at Psylocibe Games believes it’s just a coincidence and not an emerging pattern 🙂

A few years ago he spent quite some time in a hippie commune started by a group of Finns in Tuscany and came back with an idea to start one in Poland together with his closest friends.

Piotr’s early passions of hiking and sailing developed into a travel imperative he shares with his wife Sawa. Lately they just got back from a journey to Thailand, where they had lived for a few months. He claims this trip has reinforced his love for Polish forests, although it is difficult to imagine an even stronger affection, as Piotr and Sawa’s marriage ceremony actually took place in a forest.

His nature-bound character reveals itself also in fondness for dogs. In fact, Piotr trains dogs passionately to the extent of calling himself semi-professional.

In his free time Piotr is an avid gamer, book nerd and movie devourer. One of his favourite movies is a classic fantasy adventure “Conan the Barbarian” (the Arnold Schwarzenegger version). With a mischievous smile on his face, he claims to revere it for the nietzchean story of an individual overcoming all setbacks.
