I am 23 years old and currently studying Game Development at the HKU (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht). Before this, I studied at the Grafisch Lyceum Utrecht. I enjoy game development because it allows me to work with others on a product and express all my creativity. With game development, you can create almost anything you want. I like helping others with their coding or other problems. I also enjoy contributing ideas to the project and sharing them with the rest of the team. I started my game development journey on a platform called Scratch, where I made a fair number of games, and I became interested in making games. I\u2019ve already made quite a few games, so feel free to take a look!<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\"
