Hi, my name is Yasmin. This is my personal portfolio, a place to share my creations and projects. I am always looking for new challenges and inspiring projects where I can gain new experiences and share the passion for making games. If you are interested in my work feel free to write me via mail.
Through my studies and work experience, I was able to gain basic knowledge in all areas of game development which includes programming, sound, level and game design as well as 3D and 2D Art. This knowledge gives me a better understanding of how to implement things in the engine and troubleshooting.
