ABOUT ME

Get to know me!

Hey there, my name is Sander! I am a Game Developer & Software Engineer focussing on bringing my knowledge to those willing to listen and learn.


My dream is to make new worlds come alive, filled with vivid characters, structures and tales of a time passed.


I'm a design-driven programmer.
A creative problem-solver with an eye for details.
Bursting with energy and positivity.
And honesty one can envy.


As an indie developer, I make my games under the name Heavenbent Games.

Swords With Fiends

Internship Project - Riimu Games

The first of three projects I've programmed as an intern for Riimu Games. This project's hardest challenge was to make the procedural room generation, as well as having the player walk through the rooms and towards the enemies properly.

Skirmish

Internship Project - Riimu Games

The second of three projects I've programmed as an intern for Riimu Games. In this project the hardest challenge was to get the AI of both the groups as well as the invidual NPCs working at the same time, without compromising a lot of performance.

Masters of Mine

Internship Project - Riimu Games

The third of three projects I've programmed as an intern for Riimu Games. Master of Mine's biggest challenge was to get the save games working and loading as soon as the game started up.

Pilkki Manager

Oulu Game Lab Demo Path Entry

During OGL Demo Path, students were taught how it is to make a game company from set-up to a working demo, without the risks of actually doing it. This was the game that I've helped on.

Robuild Royale

Fontys ICT GD&T Game Jame Entry

An entry for a Game Jam between all three years of the Game Design & Tools specialization where we mixed and matched with school years.
