I don't know exactly how you got here, but this is my old Portfolio. The new one is at https://acasez.github.io/ and is far more cool and updated. Go there! (And maybe tell me what links here so I can update it)

Hi!
My name is Edvin Skogsholm Sanne and I'm a game designer from Sweden. I've studied game design and digital narration at Högskolan i Skövde/Skövde University. My main skills lie in gameplay, balance and level design. I have also worked on level design, programming and UI design. I have experience with scripting in Unity and with Unreal Blueprints.
My favorite game genre to both design and play is strategy games, though I can work with most genres. I also really like worldbuilding, especially in fantasy and historical settings.
https://acasez.itch.io/ for all the games I've worked on.
edvin.sanne@gmail.com if you want to contact me. If there is a job you think I would fit in, don't hesitate to contact me.

Atmospheric Puzzle Platformer
Amsvartne is a 2D puzzle platformer I made as part of the start up group Corvian Games (now Tiny Creature Games). It focuses on narrative exploration and puzzle solving using light to navigate levels and solve puzzles. It's set in a mystical mine in a fantasy dieselpunk setting. I worked on the game and level design, as well as programming multiple game systems.
Group Project, Made in Unity
Eurogame style board game about city planning and sustainability
A strategic board game about about making a mid sized Swedish city climate neutral. In the game players play cards to build green power, nature areas to absorb pollution and other projects to achieve sustainability, while managing their income and the opinion of people in the municipality.
I proposed the original idea for the game and have worked on game design, balance and testing. I worked with with Iris Casado, Zoey Wu and Alexander Ros who worked on graphic design and card illustrations.
Group Project
I also made digital, solo only, adaption of the Mariestad Board Game. Its up on itch and can be be found here:
https://acasez.itch.io/mariestad-climate-game
It has most of the features of physical board game and a inbuilt tutorial. It also the option to be played in either English and Swedish and has options for different amount of starting pollution, to provide different levels of challenge.
During this project I made a custom script to import all the card info from an excel sheet into the game via CSV files
Solo Project, In Unity
Internship at ION Games
During the summer of 2024 I had an internship at ION Games, a board game studio, working on playtesting and game design. I helped playtest a variety of games, including Dino Dynasty, Atlas, and Pax Viking Second Edition. I worked with the designers to give feedback on rules, balance and rulebooks. Since then I have been in contact with some of the designers and done occasional digital playtests.
Turn Based City Builder
https://acasez.itch.io/city-state
City State was made for a my Bachelor's Thesis about structure in Tech Trees. It's a fairly short city building game that was made to see how different tech tree structures of tech trees affect the gameplay. It was however still designed to be fun and playable as game game though and I worked on it afterwards to add some juice.
Made in Unity, Solo Project
Norse mythology inspired hack and slash rougelike.
https://10hpstudios.itch.io/to-hel-and-back
Started as a school project with 10 other students, I worked with game mechanics, balance, UI and level design. 5 of us continued working on it afterwards and it was nominated for the Skövde Academic Game Award (SAGA) in 2021

Fantasy World
Worldbuilding project, 75 000+ words, multiple maps
Fantasy world set on a moon orbiting a gas giant, featuring an industrial not-quite roman republic led by dragons fighting off eldritch monsters. It also has airships as the main method of travel, magic that's both a science and art form, humans as a minority species and lot's of lovely magitech.
Maps made in Wonderdraft, Written in Obsidian. Solo Project. Would like to use it in a future game
Turn Based City Builders...ish
After building City State and getting positive feedback on it I wanted to try make another city builder. I've tried to different concepts and while neither have been great successes, they have both taught me a great deal about making games in Unity and making city builders as games. The project also shows more of my design philosophy and methods
Made in Unity, Solo Project
Fantasy/Magitech 4X
I really want to make a Fantasy 4X, but can't really make it on my own. Still its one my favorite genres and so I have worked on planning out techs trees, worldbuilding and some mechanics. Land of the Arcane is a fantasy 4X inspired by Stellaris, Civilization, Age of Wonders and many other games.
Still in concept/planning stage, solo project so far.
