FPS Game

This is the first real game I made and published. It was made in Unity and I submitted it as a project for my Computer Science (Informatica) class final workpiece in my last year of high school. It's a first person zombie wave shooter and I made it in collaboration with a friend who helped mainly with the models. It taught me a lot about how important having proper leadership is, because the friend who I worked with would slack a lot and I struggled making him stick to our planned deadlines. So in the end I ended up doing 80-90% of the work. Even though this put some stress on me, I still ended up with a nice product and it was even almost submitted by our teacher to be one of the top workpieces that year.

2D Platformer Game

This is the 2nd game I had officially published. It was right after my first one and it was made as an application for BUAS. I however was focused on exams and studying so I didn't make enough time for it. It was still a worthwhile experience and I learned a lot. It was a 2d platformer with 3 levels, I made a story for it and some custom sprites. It was also made in Unity and gave me some more experience working in code and on 2d games.

Spaceship Shooter

This was a project for my programming class at Hogeschool Rotterdam. We were tasked to use the Excalibur engine which uses javascript to code games into your webpage. To complete this assigment I decided to make a small little space shooter reminiscent of old arcade games.

Harvest Hofrizons

Harvest Hofrizons was another school project that me and 3 friends made. For our assignment we were tasked to make a game based on a random location give to us in Rotterdam and a random player type and gameplay genre. We got Hofbogen, Killer player type and a submission game genre. We ended up making a choose-your-own adventure farming game with a score. You'd farm up until you have enough crops/money to buy one of the endings. It was made in Godot, I designed the main gameplay loop of the game and all the endings. I also helped keep track of the project to make sure all our deadlines were met.

Bum Life

Bum Life was my first game made in Unreal Engine. I made it with help of some friends, altho I did most of the work as my friends were busy graduating university. I mainly used this project to get a basic understanding of Unreal apart from all the smaller tests I had done before. I also learnt how to edit the look of Unreal Engine to add a little style to the game. It's a simple game about gaining as many points as you can by being a "bum". Making the game also taught me how savegames work in Unreal.

BubbleTeaCorp

My first real gamejam game! for GGJ2025 at BUAS. I got together a team by making a post in the GGJ BUAS discord where some kind people reached out asking to join my team! Tuwi ((Nannings)Solo indie Dev), Michel (BUAS VA Alumni), Kaizo (Hobby dev), Tural (Y3 BUAS D&P Student) and David (Y3 BUAS D&P Student). Those were the people who made up my team. The theme was Bubbles and we decided to spin the theme on it's head by making it about economic bubbles. In this project I designed the manual bubbles you can click and their prompts. I also oversaw the deadlines and put every goal of ours into MoSCoW priority to make sure we stayed on track. The game ended up being a sort of stock market idle game where random events impact the market and how you interact with certain situation also impact the market.

Quest For Fruit

I made this game for my intake assignment for BUAS! It's a simple 2D platformer made in Unreal Engine. It's a sidecroller focused on speedrunning, abilities and climbing-based route finding. I learnt a lot about tilemaps, character movement, Stopwatches, abilities and level design.

NodeBuster Copy

As some extra self-study I wanted to recreate a game I enjoy: "NodeBuster". Recreating some basic parts of the game in Unreal Engine taught me about 2D moving objects, skill trees and spawning.

Horror Game System

This isn't a system I have made yet, but I wrote it down. It's a system for a horror multiplayer versus game. The premise is that two teams will go against each other, there are 2 phases. The build phase where you setup your base with traps and scares and the loot phase where you go through the enemies' base while a creature is chasing you (possibly controlled by a player). The team to collect the most worth will win after 3 full rotations.

Time Change System

This system looks at your system time and if it goes past a certain time, it'll swap the game from a cozy farming game, to a horror organ farming game. I haven't made this system yet, but me and some friends are planning to make a game around it this summer.

School

Elementary school

The elementary school I went to was NBS Boeimeer in Breda. I skipped the first year which caused me to be among the youngest in my classes going forth. I didn't get held back and even took some advanced maths classes when they were available. I ended up graduating with a HAVO/VWO advice.

Middle/High school

I went to Mencia de Mendoza Lyceum in Breda. I studied at a HAVO TTO level meaning I got bilingual courses and got the opportunity to go on multiple cultural trips. Sadly the exchange that was planned got cancelled due to covid. I averaged a steady 7.5/10 throughout my years and eventually went with a study-profile (Curriculum) of E&M (Economics and Social). I graduated without issue and got a IGCSE Certificate for my bilingual and globalisation skills.

College/Uni

I went to Hogeschool Rotterdam for a year. Here I learnt about game design and web development. I went to their Creative Media & Game Technologies course and made some good friends there. After I got my propaedeutic certificate I ended up leaving and taking a gap year as the school was focusing more on web development than game development and web development didn't really interest me as much. Thankfully I did learn a lot in my year there, I got used to working in groups and taking a lead/managerial position in group projects. I got familiar with working for a client. Got a lot better at accessibility, diversity and inclusivity. And learnt a lot about self study and game design.

Work

Albert Heijn

I worked at Albert Heijn for 2 years and 2 months. I worked as a stocker at 2 locations, Brabantplein and De Burcht. I learnt a lot about working under a boss, customer service, working for a company and experience working together with coworkers.

Work

Bouwloket Breda

I currently work at Bouwloket Breda, here I help my dad who works with the company do tasks like: Managing files, managing databases, helping fill out buildplans, sketching dormers, lining out property boundaries and sketching/blueprinting old and future versions of houses. These experiences have helped me think critically and professionally, plan ahead and work in a serious place of business in an office.
