For my student dorm, I created a clone of the Achtung die Kurve game in order to allow them to play on the couch with controllers a keyboard and even a mouse, which was not possible with other iterations of the same game. The game is sort of a combination between the older arcade game […]
In March of 2015 I, together with Thomas Dijnum and Siewart van Wingerden participated in the 58th Mini Ludum Dare game jam.
