Welcome

My name is Aurum, I am a Computer Science student and video game hacking enthusiast from Germany. Welcome to my website where you can learn about my mods, projects and plans! In my free time, I engage in researching the internal structures of various video games. Using the gathered information, I create my own modifications, hacks and tools. I always wanted to create my own maps and worlds to share them with other people. I was instantly hooked up when I learned that video game modding is a thing. I am currently going for my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science while also minoring in Business informatics. In 2016, I began programming as a hobby and worked with a few programming and assembly languages since then. These include Python, Java, C++, Sharp LR35902 and PowerPC. The first language I worked with was Visual Basic .NET, however, I quickly switched to Java and Python after that. These are my two preferred programming languages to this day.

One of my favorite games of all time is Super Mario Galaxy, a critically acclaimed Mario adventure for the Nintendo Wii. If you have never heard about that game, you have really missed out on something. I founded my own extensive SMG2 modding project called Neo Mario Galaxy and released the first version in 2017. Nevertheless, I also mod other video games, including Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and some Pokémon spin-offs.
