Hi, I’m Yasmin Burkhardtsmaier, a student with a love for technology and videogames. I’m currently studying media science with a minor in computer science at the University of Bayreuth, Germany.

I work as a video game programer and 2D | 3D Artist specializing in prop art, pixel art and voxel art. As a fan of retro games, I love the aesthetics of early NES | SNES, PS1 | PS2 games or modern game titles that pick up on this feeling and visuals.

Once I’m finished with my Bachelor’s Degree i want to work as a fulltime videogame programmer and grow professionally. Personally I like to improve myself, my workflow and prefer working in a solid team.

I am always looking for new challenges and inspiring projects where I can gain new experience and share the passion. If you are interested in my work feel free to write me via mail or download my Resume.

SKILLS

Programming

C# | Python | HTML | PHP | Java Script

C# is my programming language of choice. I have been learning to code with C# in Unity for 3 years now. Due to my studies I am also skilles in simple web programming with HTML, PHP and Java Script. I also have basic knowledge of Python.

Art and Design

Lowpoly & midpoly modelling | Hardsurface & prop modelling | Voxel Art | Pixel Art | 2D Design (Website, Products)

Since I’m a fan of retro optics, I have specialized myself in Pixel Art and Voxel Art, but I am also very capabel of doing Lowpoly modelling, Hardsurface modelling, Prop modelling, Midpoly modelling and simple 2D Design.

Game Design

High Concept | GDD | TDD | ADD | Balancing

Coming up with game ideas has always been something I really enjoy. Since university I have learned to write High Concepts, Art Design Documents, Game Design Documents and Technical Design Documents. I also took a balancing course and a game experience design course to strengthen my knowledge in game design.

Sound Design

Sound design | SFX recordings | Editing | Sound Implementation in Engine

Although I didn’t want to specialize in it, I still often take on the role of sound designer. My tasks include generating a suitable mood through sound within the game, editing sounds, creating SFX myself and implementing every Sound into Unity.

I have been playing the violin myself for over 9 years.

Level Design

Asset Placement | Level structure | Implementation

Generating levels and game worlds has always been fun. What used to happen in the Neverwinter Online Foundry, I’m now doing together with our level designer in Unity or in my own projects.

Agile Project Management

SCRUM | Source Tree | Git Lab

For all of our game projects, we use SCRUM to organize ourselves and ensure the iterative process within game development.

For some university projects, I also took on the role of the SCRUM master. I am very familiar with Source Tree and Git Lab.

He learns that the Pope has made a pact with the devil to gain unworldly power. In an attempt to prevent evil from corrupting the world, he goes on his last infernal crusade. Unfortunately, this game cannot be played or downloaded as it will appear exclusively on a self-built arcade machine.
