VR Guns
As my first experience in VR development, VR Guns is a project
that exists purely for me to explore VR possibilities
I do not have intentions to bring this to a final state. However

Currently it has 1 weapon, locomotion, teleportation and basic
physics.

About Me
Hi, my name is Finian!
I'm a software developer with experience in making FPS and CO-OP games.
Currently, I am employed as front-end developer at AVR Machinery.
My fascination for games and tech started at a young age.
Some specific things that really intrigued me along my journey:
- Star Wars Battlefront II being able to run on my PSP
- Creating and playing levels for and from others all around the globe in LittleBigPlanet
- Assembling my first computer with no prior experience
- My first finished game project (Halo Zero)
Participating in game development allowing me to invoke a similar admiration within my peers,
is something that pushed me to double down on becoming a game developer.
Over the years, I'm most known for working and learning at a fast pace.
Being presented with a unique problem or task is where I shine!
I'm easy going and always ready for a quick chat!
