Welcome

Greetings! I'm Aurum, a passionate Computer Science student and video game hacking enthusiast from Germany. Welcome to my website, where you can explore my exciting 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've always dreamt of creating unique maps and worlds to share with others, and discovering the world of video game modding made that dream a reality.

Currently, I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Business Informatics. It all began in 2016 when I delved into programming as a hobby, and since then, I've gained experience with several programming and assembly languages such as Python, Java, C++, Sharp LR35902, and PowerPC. Although my first language was Visual Basic .NET, I quickly gravitated towards Python and Java, which remain my preferred programming languages to this day.

Among the countless games I cherish, Super Mario Galaxy holds a special place in my heart. This critically acclaimed Mario adventure for the Nintendo Wii has left a profound impact on me. If you haven't had the chance to experience it, you've truly missed out on something extraordinary. Building upon my love for this game, I initiated my extensive SMG2 modding project named Neo Mario Galaxy, and its first version saw the light of day in 2017. Moreover, I indulge in modding other video games too, including Animal Crossing City Folk, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and various Pokémon spin-offs.

I have a personal Discord server dedicated to my projects. Here, you can contact me when you have questions about or problems with my projects. Further, you can also learn more about my projects there via updates! Click here to join the Discord server.
