Salut, I'm Lucas!
Gameplay Programmer

I graduated from Howest University with a major in Game Development and have first-hand experience in the games industry, working on Age of Wonders 4 within a 20-year-old proprietary engine.

I'm proficient in C++, C#, Unreal Engine, and Unity, and I'd love to show you what I can bring to the game!

Character Bio

Good evening, I'm Lucas Kinoo, a gameplay programmer with a Bachelor's in Digital Arts & Entertainment and a Game Development major from Howest University of Applied Sciences, Belgium.

I recently completed a gameplay programming internship at Triumph Studios, a subsidiary of Paradox Interactive, where I worked on Age of Wonders 4 and its DLCs, Primal Fury and Eldritch Realms, within a complex, 20-year-old in-house engine.

I am proficient in C++, C#, Unreal Engine, and Unity. My unique background in professional photography and film production, acquired during my high school education in Audiovisual Arts, gives me a keen eye for detail and strong visual aesthetics, excellent project management, and storytelling skills.
