Together with the Giza Project at Harvard University and the Eberhard-Karls University Tübingen I developed a virtual-reality museum experience of Hetepheres's tomb in Giza, Egypt, in celebration of the 100-year anniversary of its discovery.
The VR application allows users to be part of the exhibition, explore a 3D scans and reconstruction of the tomb and its artifacts, and learn more about the history and significance of of the grave and the work of the archaeologists who discovered it.
Back in the future users can take part in the restoration of a chair that could only recently be restored with new technologies. This gamified process ends in a small interactive exhibition about Hetepheres and work continues solving her mysteries.

The application was created using ExPresS XR and is available for free for Meta Quest and PC VR headsets.

In collaboration with seven fellow students we developed a tiny jump 'n' run/puzzle game that was ultimately published on Steam.
It is based on placing gravity-affecting blocks to build a path through a level and then traverse the level with precise jumps.

Here are some other smaller project and prototypes I've worked on in the past:

• L'Amour Postal, a cosy 2D game about restoring postcards and unraveling a love story.
  This game was made with a lovely team in 48 hours for long Graveler Game Jam 2025 and won the 2nd place in it's thematic track!

• Dynamic Day Night Cycles (DDNC), a Godot 4.x Plugin for dynamic day night cycles. The plugin allows correctly simulating the daylight, nighttime, dawn and dusk of you game's planet. It calculates the alteration of day-lengths throughout a year so days get shorter in the winter and longer in the summer.
  The plugin allows full customization of the days per year's, day duration and the location on the planet to give the most immersive results.

• "Throw the Planet away", a prototype for 3D open-world puzzle game made with Unreal Engine 5.1. Tries so sensitize players regarding sustainability and inspire them to make small changes that help the environment and climate. As the name suggest this is done by solving puzzles and argument using a throwing mechanic.
  The project was part of "Hola Serious Games"-project funded by the "MFG Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg". It's aim was to connect interdisciplinary students whilst developing serious-game-prototypes and help them gaining further insights into game-industry in germany.     Press Article - MFG (German)
  
  
• Klengan the Game, a community project for developing a web-game about the YouTuber Klengan. It was a 2D jump'n'run made with Godot. Besides being fun it aimed to raise funds for german cancer aid (Krebshilfe.de).
  Due to the Corona Pandemic the project was ultimately canceled.
