About Me
Hey, my name is Alessa and I am studying Game Design in the fifth semster at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences in Hamburg, Germany.
When I started my studies I discovered my interest in coding and focussed on game programming and game design when working on projects ever since. That’s why I chose my courses on that basis and tried to took part in the programming classes as much as possible. My games are mainly created in Unity, therefore I’m working with C# as a programming language.
