Miriam Kubovová has been part of the Nine Rocks Games family for quite some time now. First, as a junior without any game-dev experience, and part-time, now as a regular with a lot of experience working on a multiplatform game for an international audience. Being a part of the marketing and community management team allows her to combine her passion for creativity and connection to the world. She is crafting eye-catching marketing assets and interacting with the vibrant WOTH community on multiple platforms.
What are some of your hobbies outside of work?
I've always loved painting and expressing my creativity through art. Additionally, I am a huge fan of horror movies and books. Creating a good horror movie requires a tremendous amount of creativity, a deep understanding of human emotions and desires, and great manipulation. Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, Marrowbone, and more. I can't just pick one. They push the boundaries of storytelling, providing a thrilling experience that stays with the viewers long after the credits roll.
Here are a few facts about Miriam that may not be essential but are certainly delightful to know:
What do you enjoy most about your job?
The aspect I absolutely adore about my job is the warm and welcoming nature of the hunting community. Initially, I was a bit nervous about entering the world of game development and meeting super-skilled professionals in their fields. But I quickly fell in love with the immersive environment and exceptional features of Way Of The Hunter. Being able to be a part of this incredible community of developers and players is truly a privilege. I could not ask for a more fulfilling job myself.
What is your favorite easter egg from Way of the Hunter?
I absolutely love these posters in the main lodge in Nez Perce Valley by Martin Sugar. Each poster features captions written in a delightful code, playfully listing NRG employees. It always brings a smile to my face.
What was the first game you ever played?
As a child of the early 2000s, my first gaming experience was with a Czech freeware game called Hafík. The goal was simple yet enjoyable: guide a little dog through different levels, collect diamonds, avoid obstacles, and ensure the dog's survival. It's a cute and relaxing game.
If you were a villain, which one would you choose to be?
Sauron, without a doubt. I must admit I do have a tendency to be a little bit of a control freak. And his attention to detail is quite impressive.
What would you like to achieve at NRG?
I'm focused on the present, and my main goal is to improve how I connect with the community. I want to get closer to players and show that we're here as their friends. After all, we all share the same objective – making the game the absolute best it can be. I genuinely love my job and am especially excited about getting even better at what I do. Looking ahead, I can't reveal any specifics yet, but I am sure our community won't be let down!
