Game Design

Wim Wenskus

Design. Narrative. Gameplay. I bring them together and craft experiences that make people smile, cry, tense up and relax. I create characters you fall in love with and hate at the same time and bring gameplay and narrative together as if they were one entity. I love crafting worlds. I love designing gameplay. I love (mis-)guiding players. Game Design is my passion.
