Gregor de Weger
Technical level & game designer
My name is Gregor de Weger, I am a creative professional with 4 years of game development experience in game design and (technical) level design.
Recently graduated cum laude from Breda University of Applied Sciences. Throughout this study, I improved my game and level design skills, worked with big multi-disciplinary teams and led a couple of projects. Started off with getting a solid foundation in game and level design skills but also diversified my skillset by learning 3D modelling and texturing, animation and the basics of programming languages such as C#.
After completing my internship at Warcave I was able to stay as game/level designer where I was responsible for all game and level content. During this period I supported the team through the concepting phase and vertical slice.
Video games are my first and foremost passion. It has always been a consistent part of my life. Whether it was playing, making levels in ingame editors or play games with a restriction to change the challenges and experience. I find one thing very important in my work and that is a challenge, this has always motivated me and drives me to perform at my best.
