Marten Hilhorst
Programmer, Procedural Generator, Digital painter
Playing and making games has always been my passion. From the make believe strategy games we used to build with poker chips, to the code I write today.
Hobbies: Besides games I spend my time making art, playing TTRPGs and boardgames, cooking, and playing guitar
Current Project: Lately I’ve been researching Inverse Kinematics and Animation engineering. Crafting a seamless experience weaving together player input and expressive animation. Which I am working on for a project in Godot. Implementing FABRIK, with constraints.
Games I like: Outer Wilds, Rain World, Disco Elysium, Root, Mirror’s Edge, Overwatch, Noita, Terraria, Hades, Monster Hunter, Subnautica, Minecraft, Smash Bros. Series, Dungeon of the Endless
