Who am I?

My name is Justin, an 19-year old dutch boy from The Netherlands and I got a very big interest in gaming. I grew up playing and watching a lot of games, it's been my favorite hobby since I was about 4 years old.
Getting older I loved learning little quirks about game development, what led to creating certain game mechanics, what's the best way to explain a game mechanic without words and what biases somebody could have when making a game. I became enamoured in what's essentially making decisions on how to keep a player engaged through a game and now I want to master that myself.
Gaming is not the only thing that interests me, I've been very interested in art (particulary stylized 3D Art) too. With art, I realized how surprisingly important good animation is in video games, it makes sure to keep the player glued to screen and it's a powerful way to convey information about pretty much anything, it's something that fades into the background if done right and that interests me.
