My name is Robin, I'm 31 years old, living in the Netherlands.
I have been developing games since age 14. My first games were made with Flash and ActionScript 2. Since then I was always working on games, either in my spare time, for school and later professionally.

Roads of Wonder

My role: Solo project
Platforms: PC
Software: Unity
Languages: C#

Roads of Wonder is an open world RPG built in Unity that I have been working on for several years.
It features a large scale open world, with dynamic time-of-day, weather and sandbox mechanics. Being a truly open-ended game, the player can choose multiple ways to progress.
Inspired by The Elder Scrolls and Mount and Blade games.


What follows is a small sample of the many custom tools and systems I have created to facilitate creating an open world game in Unity.

Forest tool

I made a tool to procedurally generate forests inside a spline volume. The system takes care not to plant trees on top of roads, and the artist can define exclusion volumes where trees will not spawn.
The system is optimized to generate a medium-sized forest with thousands of trees within mere seconds, allowing for fast iterations

Dynamic time of day

Roads of Wonder features a dynamic time of day system to fully immerse the player in the game's fantasy world. This system is integrated into the game's mechanics and weather system with lights turning on at night, dense fog as the sun rises in the morning and much more.
Players can admire the sunset in the Goldbridge harbor. Or watch as the sun rises over the mountains on a foggy morning.


World streaming

Areas of the game are dynamically loaded in and out of memory when the player gets close. This is based on the Unity scene system and contains various tools to provide a seamless editor experience.
