Sjors Kaagman

Hi! My name is Sjors, I'm a XX year old, and I am a passionate student game designer from Enkhuizen.

I graduated from MediaCollege in Amsterdam as a Game Developer and am currently continuing my studies at HKU in Utrecht, where I'm learning what truly makes a game great.

I've been creating games since I was 6 years old, and my passion for game development has only grown. Ever since I was little, games have brought me immense joy, and I aspire to create games that do the same for others. It makes me especially happy when games have an impact on people, I'm still learning how to properly do so. Even if it's just a smile. In the meantime, I'm dedicated to learning as much as possible, games have a lot going on in them!

I am particularly interested in VR development as its a super interesting platform that makes experiences feel unlike any other. I dream of one day starting my own game studio, but I recognize the value of gaining experience more first. I love studying and exploring every bit of gamedev. This includes understanding and utilizing various tools to effectively communicate ideas with other departments. I believe that knowing the tools and "speaking the same language" as the team is crucial for successful collaboration.

That being said, consistent communication and planning seems to be one of my weaker points, I'm trying my best to improve on this and learn my way around it. Reading and writing also isn't my strongsuit due to my dyslexia, so please bare with me.

Outside of my studies, I love to meet people, fence, and play games. Pretty wild, huh?
I also have a cool dog, check it out.
