ETERNAL WANDERER

Producer

Eternal Wanderer started out as a story that I started writing back 2016. Over the years this story has gained a plethora of iterations to the point that it was started to turn into a book. Around 2018 I started creating small prototypes as it had a lot of potential for an interesting game with the narrative that it was following.

​

I unfortunately discovered at the time that I lacked in skills and resources. This was one of my main motivators for pursuing my Bachelors degree.

In 2022 I picked the project back up again. The story has had iterations up to that point so I had to start back from scratch pretty much. Other people saw potential in my concept as well and in 2023 we started working full-time on it with a team of roughly 12 people (voluntarily) that I recruited. 

​

My primarily role was that of a Producer and secondary that of a Game Engineer focussing on Game AI.

​

As a producer I have to ensure that we have the right amount of people and the correct people for the things that we want to create. Eternal Wanderer is a big and ambitious project. So we need to be clever, smart, and efficient, especially in todays market. 

​

In order to get our name out I arranged several events for our team to attend to. Some contained talks with potential interesting partners for our future plans. Those events were: AnimeCon, Night of the Nerds, Pitch Perfect, the Dutch ministry, and DGG Showcases.

​

At Pitch Perfect I learned how to deliver a proper pitch about our brand new studio and our game towards publishers, investors, and potential partners. Through feedback from people related to the aforementioned audience I managed to create a pitch that was less than 3 minutes in length! 

​

As the producer I ensure together with the Creative Director that the project is going the right direction in terms of content and quality. I am also responsible for the long term timeline and the financial projections.
