About Me

Game Developer!

I am Merlijn van Aalst and I live in Hillegom, Netherlands. I am a student at the Game Software Development course at the Media College Amsterdam Sloterdijk.

I used to play games like Skyrim, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Batman Arkham Knight and other FPS games. That is why I want to develop more into First Person/Third Person games. I would also like to make different mechanics for in games to make the gameplay even better.

Games have always fascinated me, not only to play, but also to understand how they are constructed. This passion brought me to Unity, where as a Unity Gameplay Developer and Mechanic Developer I can create the magic behind games.

My focus is on developing engaging gameplay and solid mechanics that challenge and engage players. From dynamic combat systems to smart AI. I strive to build experiences that make an impact. Always looking for innovation, I continue to learn and experiment with the latest trends in game development.
