About Me (Who am I?)
Driven by speed, designed for engagement.
My name is Colin-Storm van Klinken and I am a Creative Media & Game Technologies Student with unique interests and capabilities. With my strong love for Motorsports I tend to not only see the race, but see the complex system of mechanics, psychology and brand experience. I understand that things don’t just come falling out of the sky – most projects are group efforts, taking eachothers strong points and working towards a great final project.
In the modern world of videogames, having a good mechanic is only half work done. We need to understand why a player stays – by combining my Marketing experience with gameplay loops, I strive to create games that are not only fun, but make players come back.
I am looking for a Game Design internship where I can shift my skills into high gear.
