THE FOREST GAME

We are the creators of the forest game.

Introduction

Our team could not be more different. We all come from various countries with different backgrounds. Maybe that was the reason why we could work so well together.

Jeffrey van Velzen

Hi! My name is Jeffrey van Velzen and I am from the Netherlands. I study Technical Computer Science at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. I decided to be part of this project because I always had an interest in developing and designing games. In this project I learned a lot more on this topic. I also learned a lot about the Swedish forests and the current problems that are associated with it.

"I think the summer school helps you see things in a different way and give you chances to make international friends."

Ann-Christin Teigelkamp

Hello! My name is Ann-Christin and I am from Germany. I study Media and Interaction Design at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. I decided to do the project because I like to develop concepts and keep the user experience in mind. In the process of developing the Forest Game I learned a lot about the Swedish forestry and even forests themself. For me the game is important to teach other people about the problem of the land-use conflict.

"I think the summer school is a good way to experience new challenges, learn about new topics as well as meeting people."

Sebastian Fernandez

Hello everybody! My name is Sebastian Fernandez and I study Industrial design in Sweden. I decided to do the project because I like the forest and games, so what is better than connecting the both worlds into one cool project. Meanwhile I get to learn more about the Swedish forest and be a part of great team.
