  • Summary

  • Hilmar has been part of the core leadership team at CCP Games since their inception first as CTO and now CEO.

    He is one of the pioneers of player-driven digital economies through CCP’s critically acclaimed science fiction game EVE Online, one of the games industry's longest-running MMO’s that’s been active for over 20 years.

    They are now backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Makers Fund and Bitkraft ventures to deliver a new triple AAA title and they’re open-sourcing their proprietary technology - the Carbon Development Platform.

    This is something I’m very excited about - I believe this will empower the next generation of game developers to create their own meaningful virtual worlds and inspire product developers to find new ways to incorporate the time-tested systems that led EVE Online to create globally impactful real-life experiences in new and unexpected ways.

    I caught up with Hilmar to learn more about the roots of EVE Online, the challenges of building a digital community that stands the test of time and why open-sourcing their technology will enable the EVE Universe to last forever.
