Soft Concepts Like Self-Respect

Neven Mrgan

A new Did I Do That?!? Holy cow, we don't even know how to attack it! Neven Mrgan (Creative Lead at Panic) sits down with Sean to talk about his design mistakes… as well as German dub Darth Vader, turning your company’s office into a mad scientist’s lab, and the Seinfeld Presidential Library.

Neven Mrgan is the Creative Lead at Portland very own Panic. Born in Croatia, he moved to the US in the 1990s, where he has pursued a career in design, software development, videogame design, and occasional writing and event production. His personal interests include cooking & eating, books, and psychedelic music.

You can learn more about Neven by visiting his website, mrgan.com; there, you can find links to his games, his blog, and his book, Have You Tried Sketch?. Panic’s latest game, Big Walk by House House, is coming later this year, but in the mean time, you can see their whole library of games, Mac software, and even pick up a Playdate at panic.com. If you want to hear more about Panic’s history and even more on some of the stories we touched on in this episode, give a listen to The Panic Podcast (new season out now!), produced by Neven’s partner Christa Mrgan!
