About Spider Collider

Spider Collider is a physics puzzle game where you play as a spider trying to catch flies and get back to its nest. You do this by swinging while avoiding obstacles. It was made in a framework created by teachers at Saxion called GXPEngine, which is a C# engine made for 2D games.

My role and contribution to the project

During this game I was in charge of implementing the physics into the custom framework that was provided to us and different stage hazards for the player to interact with. I also created a system to handle switching levels and created the UI together with one of the designers on the team.

My role and contribution to the project

This project was the first game that was released by Humblebright Studios on the minecraft marketplace and during this project I was the only programmer on the team.

About I'll remember

I'll remember is a game created as a serious game showcasing some of the early signs of dementia and the effects it can have on the patient and the people surrounding them. You play as a grandfather who is starting to experience dementia. Slowly but surely you start forgetting things throughout the day. Memories start getting blurrier. And your daughter is getting increasingly worried about you.

My role and contribution to the project

For Little Way home I worked together with one other Engineer. Together we created various mechcanics and systems, including the following which I was in charge of:

About the project

This raymarcher was created from scratch using GLSL on shadertoy.com.
You can check out the source code here!

About the project

This is a game that was made in 3 days for the CMGT-Festival game jam hosted by the Creative Media and Game technologies study. The theme for this game jam was Identity.

My role and contribution to the project

For this game I helped create the main character controller and some of the obstacles the player encounters in the game

About the project

This project was created to learn how to make a game in Unreal Engine 5. This later evolved into learning about Unreal Engine's Gameplay Ability System.

The main gameplay loop of this project is its magical combat. The player has control over 4 different elements and is able to combine them to create various effects and combos.

My role and contribution to the project

My main focus was to work together with a designer from my course to create the combat system. I did all of the programming for it like setting up Unreal Engine's Gameplay Ability System and learning about how all of that works.

Along with this I created several smaller mechanics that worked with the Gameplay Ability System like a dodging mechanic and a targeting system.
All of these were created by making use of the Gameplay Ability System and are fully integrated with it.
For the dodging I also had to learn how to retarget animations from Mixamo to the Unreal Engine skeleton

About the project

This project was created to learn about visual effects in Unity

I decided to create a scene where a cloud is charged with lightning and eventually strikes down on a house, making it explode. The materials and shaders for this were made using the Unity game engine.

About the project

This project was created for the 2024 editions of the Enschede Lights up festival and Hengelo Licht festival.

It takes the users on a journey through three different eras of Enschede. The past, present and future. Each of these eras have a unique minigame for people to play through.

My role and contribution to this project

During this project my main focus was on the different minigames. I used Unity and shaders to create two out of the three minigames.

along with this, I also worked on creating communication between a python script and Unity as this project makes use of camera tracking technology. This was done through the use of websockets.
