Hey! My name is Antonia Schmidt, and NightinGames is my passion project. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Media Science in 2021. I love working creatively, but at the same time, I always like to keep an overview of everything. I’m passionate about organizing – both in my professional life and in my personal one. I’m highly structured and love having a clear plan.
Beginner 3D modelling | Pixel Art | 2D Art | Design
I’ve been passionate about drawing for as long as I can remember. I started with paper and canvas, but nowadays I mainly work digitally using tools like Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop. I practice my skills daily and always strive to improve.
During my studies, I learned the basics of 3D art using Maya. For our own projects, I later switched to Blender. Since I transitioned into producing fairly early, my 3D skills are still at a basic level — but I’m eager to grow in this area.
I also worked as a media designer for several years. Our main focus was creating books for print and digital publishing. I worked professionally with Adobe InDesign and Adobe Acrobat, as well as Microsoft Word.
Producing & Directing | Writing | Editing
I genuinely enjoy organizing and keeping an overview, which is why I naturally gravitate toward the role of a producer or director in smaller game projects. I’ve had the chance to take on this responsibility several times, and it’s always been rewarding to see how a shared vision can come to life when the workflow is well-structured.
Storytelling has always been one of my passions. I love writing short stories and focusing on small details that make a world feel alive and immersive — something that’s especially valuable in narrative-driven games. I also enjoy polishing and refining stories developed by others. Over the years, I’ve collected dozens of game and film ideas, some of which I hope to develop further in the future.
I first got into editing by creating fun little YouTube videos, which helped me develop a sense for pacing and timing — useful skills when producing game trailers or devlogs. Since then, I’ve taken over editing tasks in many of our projects, using Adobe Premiere for video work and After Effects for small animations.
Sound Design | Audio reports | Podcasts | Voice Acting | Editing
I worked at a radio station for a few months, where I learned sound editing using Adobe Audition and gained experience in editorial work. I came up with short reports, did research, conducted interviews, and edited the final pieces.
I love lending my voice to characters in games or films. It all started when I recorded small audiobooks for fun. Now, I regularly do voice acting for YouTube projects and indie games like Fading.
I still enjoy reading stories aloud and also like participating in discussions on podcasts.
