Crystal Catch was created during the Puls Game Jam 2025, a 48-hour game development event. Theme of this game jam was 'kaputt' (engl. 'broken').

In this game, the player assumes the role of a fisherman trying to catch fish on a frozen lake. The core idea is that, over time, the ice on the lake breaks, causing the walkable area to shrink. This mechanic forces the player to become increasingly cautious as the game progresses, adding an element of tension and strategy, while providing a cozy and relaxing atmosphere using adapted background music, particles and lights.

Power of Gambling was developed in 48 hours during the GamesPlusJam 2022.

Power of Gambling is a wave shooter where the player shuffles the conditions of each run, leading to unique outcomes. These conditions can affect various aspects of the game, such as increasing the health of either enemies or the player or altering visual elements, ensuring fresh and varied experiences across multiple runs.

A key twist lies in the player's attack system: The player throws a limited number of spears to damage incoming enemies, but these spears must be retrieved before they can be used again. This introduces a strategic decision—throwing spears further allows for hitting more enemies but requires a longer retrieval distance, while throwing them closer ensures quicker recovery at the cost of hitting fewer enemies at once.

Twilight Conquest began as a solo project during my university studies and later evolved into a hobby project. At its core, it is a tower defense game with role-playing elements.

The player must defend against waves of enemies by strategically placing characters along a predefined path. These characters automatically attack incoming enemies, and defeated foes drop resources and items that can be equipped to enhance the characters' statistics.

A key feature of the game is its dynamic difficulty system, which adjusts based on the player's performance. Winning increases the challenge, while losing makes the game more forgiving. This system ensures an engaging experience for players of all skill levels, keeping the gameplay both accessible and rewarding.

Indusdream was created during the Brackeys Game Jam 2022.1, a 7-day game development challenge.

The core idea was to design a puzzle game where the starting conditions randomly determine the entity the player controls—either a construction worker or a coffee machine. This mechanic allows for multiple solutions to each level, offering different approaches to victory.

One of the main challenges was designing levels that accommodated various playstyles while maintaining a balanced difficulty—ensuring they weren’t too easy yet avoiding situations where players could get stuck.

'Paint The Walls Red' is a 2D top-down action game currently in development. The idea is to combine the fast-paced gameplay of Hotline Miami with the slow-motion mechanics of SUPERHOT. The player must fight through various levels, defeating enemies to complete them. However, if the player gets hit even once, they die and have to restart the level. The game aims to offer high replayability, as each level is randomly generated, and different enemy types challenge the player's strategy.

To kill enemies, the player must dash through them. When an enemy is defeated, the dash cooldown resets, allowing for combos. Additionally, the player can deflect enemy projectiles for defense. Crates and objects can also be thrown at enemies to stun and eliminate them.

My bachelor's thesis focused on the development of an intelligent solution for organizing food inventories in private households. The project involved the development of a scanner system that reads the barcodes of scanned products and adds them to a stock list. This list can be accessed via a browser to track available food items.

When a product is consumed, the empty package is scanned again, and the system automatically moves the item from the stock list to a shopping list. This creates a closed loop where products are either in the stock or on the shopping list. The goal was to provide a better overview of the household's food inventory.

For the food data, I used the databases of OpenFoodFacts and Spoonacular to retrieve product information based on the barcode.

This tool was used to create a web scraper for the Warframe Market of the video game Warframe, which collected the current platinum prices of items that users wanted to sell on the market.

The tool, called WarframeBroker, automatically adjusted the user's set prices by one platinum unit at defined time intervals to ensure the user always offered the cheapest price. This approach increased the chances of being contacted by other players for a transaction while ensuring that in-game prices aligned with current market trends.

This game was a concept I had as an idea. It was intended to be a farming game where the player cultivates their farm, grows crops, and expands their farm during the day. At night, the game would shift into an action game, where the player must defend their farm against monsters.
