Ata Sergey Nowak

Fluent in three languages, I have long been passionate about gaming, history, space exploration, and intercultural communication. My professional journey in games began in 2012 through modding Paradox Interactive titles, an experience that turned a lifelong interest into a career. Since then, I have contributed to several notable projects, including Hearts of Iron III: Their Finest Hour, East vs West, Squad, Terminal Conflict, and Suzerain, as well as acclaimed community projects such as Black ICE and Project Reality.

Alongside my work in games, I directed an international NGO focused on European Union research initiatives and organized entrepreneurial and cultural events, including Creative Coffee Ankara and TEDxHacettepeUniversity. After 2017, my focus shifted fully toward the development of Suzerain and its path to commercial release. Together with a dedicated team at Torpor Games, we launched the project to critical acclaim and commercial success. Today, the studio continues to expand the Suzerain Universe while developing its next major title, The Conformist.

Currently, I serve as Managing Director, Game Director, and Co-Founder of Torpor Games. In parallel, I occasionally provide consulting and public speaking on the software and interactive entertainment industries, with a particular focus on start-ups, narrative design, and game development.
