Jarno Fleurkens

Hi! I'm Jarno a level designer in the Netherlands studying Creative Media & Game Technologies at Breda University of Applied Sciences. 

​

My passion for games started with my first console, a Nintendo DS. I fell in love with the Super Mario Bros. games, Pokemon, and particularly The Legend of Zelda which sparked my fascination with adventure and exploration. Uncovering secret paths and gaining new abilities to reach previously inaccessible paths left a lasting impression on me.

​

As I grew older my interests expanded to open-world games and immersive roleplaying games. Engaging in discussions with friends about secrets they discovered and paths they took deepened my appreciation of game design and fueled my desire to create experiences that inspire curiosity and discovery.

​

During my time at BUAS, I have experienced working on a wide range of game genres including, party games, first-person shooters, survival games, and third-person adventure games. While I have developed a strong understanding of these genres, I am always eager to expand my skill set and take on new challenges. I am always eager to learn and make meaningful contributions to projects beyond my current experience.

​

Next to my passion for making games, I love going on hikes with my dog, traveling, cooking, reading books and comics, watching Formula 1, building Lego, visiting the cinema, going to Comic Cons, craft beer, playing board games and D&D, visiting theme parks, and naturally playing video games.
