Bas Willem Kars

I'm a Technical Game Designer, currently looking for an internship. I have worked on different projects during my current 4 year Bachelor's degree and even joined commercial projects as a contractor or freelancer. In my projects I have contributed to 6 million playsessions and an award winning game Pizzapocalypse. As a technical designer I aim to create systems that are easily usable by all team members and communicated to be quickly understood!
