About Me

William Rongholt began his creative journey in 2018 by writing immersive content for Dungeons & Dragons, crafting adventures that blended narrative depth with player agency. This early exploration into interactive storytelling ignited a passion that would drive the rest of his career. Fascinated by the potential of voice-driven experiences, Rongholt soon turned to Alexa-based games, where he developed Space Marauders—a sci-fi adventure that allowed users to interact with a dynamic galaxy using only their voice. The success and originality of this concept set the stage for even bigger ambitions.

What began as a voice-driven game evolved into a fully realized universe. Space Marauders grew into a PC game currently in development and inspired a series of novels that further expanded its lore. Rongholt's work stands out for its unique fusion of storytelling, game development, and software engineering, delivering experiences that are both narratively rich and technically innovative. Whether on the page, on screen, or through gameplay, he continues to explore new ways to immerse audiences in the worlds of science fiction and fantasy.
