<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Welcome to &#8220;Meet the Crew&#8221;, the first instalment in an ongoing series that aims to shine the light on some of the people that make up the Starbreeze Crew! Today&#8217;s talk is with Martin Waern, Lead Gameplay Programmer and manger of the PAYDAY™ 3 gameplay team!</h2>



When did you join Starbreeze and what do you work with? I joined Starbreeze in 2010. I was part of of Overkill, the original creators of the PAYDAY franchise, that merged into Starbreeze. I’m currently the Lead Gameplay Programmer (GPP in short) and manager of the PAYDAY 3 gameplay team.

What motivated you to stay with the same company for 14 years? Great question. I think that over time no company will ever stay the same, so there’s always something new. It means that there will be both&nbsp;good times and hard times&nbsp;but also always something new to learn, obstacles to master as well as opportunities to grow. I like to stick through tough times and be there when it’s time to build the foundation for the good times.



	Image Text – hello from a dynamic block!



What advice would you give someone starting out as a gameplay programmer? Play games and be curious about what makes them tick! What features&nbsp;resonate&nbsp;with you as a player? Then start testing your ideas. There are many good engines to program in that are free to use. And on that note –&nbsp;get&nbsp;into programming! Any programming language is good to start with, but eventually you’ll want to master C++ or C#. Both&nbsp;are&nbsp;popular among the bigger game engines and are usually a requirement to get hired.



How many times have you been featured in a Starbreeze game?&nbsp; I think I’ve been featured, in-game, twice. In &#8216;PAYDAY: The Heist’ and in ‘PAYDAY 2’ I play the character “Bobblehead Bob”. We look alike, but that’s all we have in common. I’m not in PAYDAY 3&nbsp;yet, but I featured in the ‘Houston Breakout’-trailer as a TV newscaster for our tie-in news conglomerate “The Gateway Report”!

What’s your favorite game ever, and why? The Sid Meier’s ‘Civilization’-series. I’ve played all of them, all the way back to the original&nbsp;(Ed’s Note: launched in 1991).&nbsp;I have an unhealthy number of hours spent with Civilization VI. I think it is because every playthrough is different; each civilization plays in a unique way and the map generation always keeps things fresh and interesting to&nbsp;explore!

As the company’s longest tenured employee, there are quite a few emojis on the internal Slack of you?  Ouff, yeah. I think there might be five of them? I’m not sure, but I’m most proud of the “:wise-man:” one.
