Hey! I’m Tomáš Krčál — a software engineer and indie game creator based in Czechia.

I’m the mind behind QuizRaid, a fast-paced trivia game built for people who love weird facts, quick thinking, and a bit of friendly competition. I also created Rotspire, a dark, text-based RPG where players explore cursed lands, fight monsters, and shape their fate in a brutal world. My first iOS App is called Cat Conquest, where you play with and collect kittens.

🎮 Why Games?

I’ve always been fascinated by interactive worlds — games that make you think, laugh, or yell “just one more round.” I like mixing fun mechanics with smart tech, whether that means building AI-generated trivia, real-time multiplayer systems, or stylish retro-inspired interfaces.

QuizRaid, for example, is powered by a Vue frontend, GraphQL API, and a custom matchmaking system. It runs on Kubernetes, uses OpenAI for question generation, and is fully mobile-first — built to be snappy, silly, and endlessly replayable.

👨‍💻 What I Do

Outside of games, I’m a full-stack developer with a focus on performance, UX, and modern tooling. I enjoy working with:

  • ⚙️ Vue, Tailwind, GraphQL, Apollo, ReactJS, shadcdn
  • ☁️ Kubernetes, Helm, Docker
  • 📦 CI/CD pipelines
  • 🤖 OpenAI integrations & custom GPT tools
  • 🧪 Experimenting with weird side projects (Rotspire, Cat Conquest)

✍️ Why This Blog?

This blog is my way of sharing what I’m building, thinking, and learning — from dev insights and feature drops to tips, tricks, and random trivia facts I love way too much.

Whether you’re a player, dev, or curious visitor: welcome. Stick around, check out the games, or just lurk and absorb some fun facts.
