Let me introduce myself

My name is Django den Boer, I’m 26 years old and I am a graduation student at the Utrecht School of Arts, Game Design and Development, Master Degree.
I’m currently employed at E-semble as 3D artist. And as you might guess, most of my free time is spend playing as much games, a good designer needs to know what’s out there. Of course I also have a social life, I own a house in which I live together with my girlfriend and have a rabbit that growls.

Over the last four years I have been schooled in almost every aspect that is connected with the design and development process of videogames. Being very passionate about almost every aspect made it a little bit hard to stick to one specific specialisation, instead I picked three: game design, level design and 3D art.

During the next few months I will be conducting research as part of my graduation. This is also a good opportunity to study more in depth to get more specialized. The only question that remains is, what is the best way to go.
For me, game design and level design go hand in hand and it’s hard to take the one without the other. But to be able to come up with a strong research question, I had to pick one. Answering this question took me quite a while, and is also the reason why I am a bit delayed with my field research. So to make it final, I like to make 3D art, and I love designing 3D spaces and game levels, but I am a game designer and I will be conducting research as a game designer.
