Hi, my name is Tim van den Bosch, born in 1994, currently I am studying at Breda University of
Applied Sciences, The Netherlands.
I want to become a game developer, because I am very much interested in how games work and how
they are made. I am really interested in the technical part of games and how it is achieved
through code and because of this curiosity I like to gain new knowledge to improve myself but
also to help others.
Currently I am focusing on developing myself further in tools so that I can help others to
develop our game.
I really enjoy playing games and I think it is important that games entertain and give joy to
people, because that is what it is all about in the end.
