Introduction

My name is Djordy Donopawiro, I’m 24 years old from Zwolle, the Netherlands. I’m a 3rd-year student at Saxion University of Applied Sciences. As a kid, I always had a big imagination playing with wooden blocks, lego, etc. My parents often came home to see the whole house turned upside down as a result of my creative endeavors. For some reason, they always supported this weird behavior. Then, a friend introduced me to the game Unreal Tournament 2004 and told me that I could build cool maps in it and play together using Hamachi. So there I was, creating blocky levels within the Unreal editor and after many failed attempts I finally managed to get a level working. Of course, looking back at it, I know it was bad but at that moment it was the best thing ever since I made it myself. And that is how I became hooked by game development and 3D environments. Then it just went automatically, I started messing around with the editor in Gears of Warm then Unreal Tournament 3 came out and I also started uploading videos on youtube. Gradually, I got to know more people in the mod community and join some funny projects. Then, I started modeling using 3ds Max and using Unity. And here I am after 10 years.
