Damnn, this was unexpected...
Those sporadic and optimistic posts of his were always fun to stumble upon - rare with creators of such caliber who take time to engage too - and support. And the games he made were iconic. Collections to stay now allotted. The potatoes he cautiously plotted. The grace, the greatness, the appreciation, that ingrained creative wattage... he really seemed like a good dude.
You'll be missed Wiesi. RIP.

Really cool tribute.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
I only know him for making that duck graffiti game, I thought he was some amateur user who had great potential.
I was wrong. Looking at his work he was so much more than I thought.
I underestimated how much Wieso did, and I'm really grateful for him.
Probably I'm the amateur here, heh.

Oh my god, wiesi has dead. uh so sadly.
This emulators is really good!
Fuck man, that's a tragedy. I never had the pleasure of talking to Wiesi myself but I always considered him to be a true legend here on Newgrounds. His games weren't just fun to play, they were the type of games you would play with your friends and still remember fondly more than 15 years down the road. I can't help but think of how successful a commercial indie game from Wiesi could have been but I guess now we will never know... He's truly been an inspiration and spreader of joy. May he rest in peace.

This must be answered.
EDIT: Wiesi did post on his news page that he was in the hospital a few months ago, but was eager to continue his projects.

I did not really play most of his games, but from what i hear his games were great. May his soul rest in peace. ❤
Check out my stuff.
I was big fan of Wiesi's works.
His games were a big part of my childhood.
I will never forget him.
Rest in Peace, Felix.

Shit...
He was one of my childhood heroes of all time...
Rest in peace, my beloved hero...
Very unfortunate. I remember his games from when i was a kid. Rest in peace.
Rest in piece, Felix. We were all happy that you were here...
Condolences goes from your eastern neighbor 🇵🇱
This was not news I thought I'd see,
Felix's games were one of the highlights of coming to Newgrounds back when I was a kid.
I went on to spend hours playing them and even checking in to his website to see what other cool stuff he made.
When I got to collage I ended up making my own game inspired by what he made,
that game was Home Sweet Halogen, a fast pased side scroller with fast music and over the top score/collectables.
I just played it again to remember what it was like and totally forgot in the intro text the main character says "mausland dot de" in the middle of a speech hes giving.
Its a game I'm proud of and wouldn't be here without Felix.
I'm sorry to hear he's passed.
Thank you for being here Felix
So, any ideas what could've killed him? An accident perhaps?

my God.... I just yesterday nostalgic, played in "Super Ninja Strike" and "Sydney Shark"....
Rest in peace, I remember loving Miami Shark so much back in the day.
Who are you looking for? What are you looking at?
A light? a star. A boat? an insect. A plane? a flying fish
It's a real shame when someone this inspirational and creative has to go. I always come back to his work, so seeing that he had passed caught me off guard. R.I.P.
A great and talented Game developer gone way too soon.
Rest in peace, Felix.

Wiesi is best known around here for the legendary games he made, here’s a few:

Something I really appreciated about Wiesi was that he would drop in on the forums over the years and reply to my news posts. Anyone who has been on NG long-term knows we went through some tough years after the combined impact of the YouTube migration, the Death of Flash and rise of mobile games and apps. Seeing Wiesi in the replies was always a bright spot for me and motivation to keep going. It’s upsetting to think I won’t be seeing him anymore but also a reminder of how a small reply can go a long way in helping people feel seen.
This past year, Felix shared an unfinished game and art made with alcohol markers. He also continued to make encouraging posts, cheering on other artists and ongoing progress with Flash emulation. I wish I could have one more chance to thank Felix for all his positive contributions to NG.
I’ve updated the In Memoriam page and made a long-overdue Sharks series page.
I'm gonna tell myself this is Felix right now:

If you have some favorite Wiesi memories, feel welcome to share them here!
R.I.P. Wiesi
It's upsetting to hear that a user who had made a massive impact on this site has passed away.
Rest in peace, Wiesi.
Your an amphibious one, aren’t you?
i never knew who he was but i feel sorry for the death passing of him i might play some of the games he has made :(
