I love creating video games. I like to fullfill a lot of different roles in a project and trying out new aspects of game development. You can put me on a lot of different tasks; technical design, system design, level design, VFX and anything else that needs to be done.

Throughout the project I also worked on quality assurance and bugfixing. I implemented the animation using Unreals aniamtion blueprints and blendspaces. And in the last week I implemented the audio.

My Contributions
As a producer on this project my main roles were scoping and creating a comfortable work environment. My daily tasks was planning and organizating, making sure we met our deadlines and cutting features when we needed to. While I ensured the production method was ensured, my primary focus was creating a workplace where everyone could comfortably work.
And at the side I also jumped in and helped to implement the visual effects
