  • #47. Marko (Duplex) Dieckmann & Christian (Nofl) Oesch in Face Of Mankind
    DEEKAST #47
    Marko Dieckmann is a game developer in Berlin, founder of Ion Lands which has newly released 'Phoning Home' on Steam. He was previously the founder of Duplex Systems which created the epic sandbox MMORPG 'Face of Mankind' circa 2005. Christian 'NoFL' Oesch based in Switzerland was the lead artist on the game developing many of the maps and environments. I spoke to them to talk about Face of Mankind because it was an immensely enjoyable and unique gaming experience. The game was an indie development initially and went through various phases and changes through it's lifetime. The game is now history but it will forever be with me and the others who played it. Please google or YouTube face of mankind to learn more. Follow @ionlands ‏on twitter.
