Michael Lorber –
Founder of Solamin
The Journey: From C16 Pixels to Unity Development.
It all began on my 10th birthday with a Commodore C16—my first computer and the gateway to a lifelong passion for pixels and play.
I’ve been an avid gamer ever since, experiencing the evolution of the industry firsthand.
While my professional path initially led me into the construction industry, my fascination with technology never faded
. Seven years ago, I decided to cross the line from player to creator and installed Unity for the first time
. With no prior programming experience, I was initially overwhelmed, but my love for gaming fueled the determination to master the engine. Today, after thousands of hours of study and development, World of Solamin stands as the culmination of that journey.
The Genesis of Solamin: Merging Two Worlds
Four years ago, I discovered the world of crypto mining. Living in Germany—a country with extreme energy costs and strict regulations—I quickly realized that traditional mining wasn’t a sustainable path for everyone. This challenge sparked the core idea for Solamin: Merging my passion for gaming with the transparency of blockchain into a single, compliant, and professional ecosystem.
What started as a simple concept has evolved into a sophisticated RPG environment, featuring Solamin Studio for asset creation and a decentralized future for indie gaming.
My Philosophy: Player-First & Fair Play
In every line of code I write for World of Solamin, two core values guide my decisions:
- Fun Without Interruption: True immersion comes when you can focus on the game. My projects will never feature forced ads; only voluntary interactions for bonuses are permitted.
- Fairness & Transparency: A positive gaming experience thrives on fair competition. I am committed to creating an environment where every user and developer has an equal chance to succeed within the Solamin network.
One Founder, One Vision
Solamin is intentionally designed as a lean and agile project. As the sole founder and developer, I am directly accountable for every strategic decision and the technical integrity of the platform.
My interdisciplinary experience in business management, combined with self-taught game development, allows me to build a transparent, long-term future for the $SLM ecosystem that truly serves its community.
