Bringing light to games, apps and websites.

My name is Aleš Lajlar. I'm a native Slovenian, born in Celje. I've seen a good bit of the world, and for the last 20 years I've lived in Slovenia again. I'm a husband and a father of five, and I run Lightbringer Studios from Celje.

My story with the web began at theological college, from 2003 to 2006. That's where I learned HTML and CSS, dabbled in PHP, and found out how databases work. It opened a whole new world: code turned out to be just another language you can learn. I wrote my first five or six websites completely by hand, line by line, because visual editors didn't exist yet.

Then Dreamweaver arrived, and I couldn't believe it: you could draw boxes on the screen and it wrote the code for you. That felt like a revolution twenty years ago.

Today I'm living through the next one. I talk to an AI assistant and it does much of the typing, while I decide what gets built, how it should look and why. The tools change. The care I put into every page doesn't.

My wife is American. We've lived in Slovenia together for 20 years, and her Slovenian is really good (though she can be too hard on herself about it). We live between two languages, so I build things in both English and Slovenian from the very start.

I design and build games, apps and websites that bring a little light into the world: honest, fast, and made with care. If you have an idea, I'd love to hear it.
