• Game Developer

My name is Justin Scott Bieshaar. I am a Dutch Game Developer. I have been a game developer working in the games industry since 2016. Because of my passion for developing video games I started sharing my journey, experience, tips & tricks and tutorials on my social media accounts @justinbieshaar.

I’ve started my journey both literally and figuratively by an accident. As it was on that very day when I accidentally injured my knee with gymnastics. While being hospitalized for three days I got bored and decided to research how RuneScape was made, and that's when I started writing code. After losing my biggest passion, which was for gymnastics, I was very relieved when I realized I developed a new passion. This made me dedicated to my goal to one day be able to make video games for the public.

From that point I started to build more and more pet projects and eventually went to college for a degree in game development. After college I put my foot in the games industry working on various big projects and still counting!

But why am I so passionate about making video games?
Although I come from a non-tech environment as we shared only one pc with the entire house-hold. Hence why I decided to research how RuneScape was made, as that was one of the only few games I was able to play.

I was always very intrigued about how much joy games bring to people, and how much I enjoyed it. When I figured out ways to make my own simple games and get into source codes of other games and play around with them. I got so fascinated about this industry that from that point I only wanted to create games rather than playing them.

But beside that, the gaming community is such a wonderful community to work for and provide content to. Everyone has a game that inspires them, gives them joy or even a meaning in life. And that’s something I like to continue providing for the future.
