Hi! My name is Thijs Roem, and I'm a passionate Game / Level Designer, currently working at Nixxes Software B.V. on the game "SAROS".  I studied Game Design at the University of the Arts Utrecht (HKU), where I earned my Bachelor of Media & Game Technologies. 

Inspired by story-driven games such as The Last of Us, Journey, or Horizon: Zero Dawn, I use the media of games to try to tell compelling and emotional stories with engaging gameplay. I want to take the player on a journey, always to give them something to take away from the experiences I create. 

I am passionate about  Dungeons and Dragons, board games, bouldering, and cooking. Besides game development, these hobbies are what keep me busy in life!
