Team Introduction

Faizan Ahmad


My Name is Faizan Ahmad, I am 25 years old and have been living in Turku  since Autumn 2016. I am a business student studying at Turku University of Applied Sciences and my interests are marketing and entrepreneurship. This project interested me since I am a gamer myself and have been for 19 years. I took sound very seriously while gaming and it gave me an advantage over my opponents. Moreover, I have a blind friend who made me realize about the struggles of being visually disabled and why it is important to consider them in competitive activities, in this case, Electronic sports.


 Mari Hanekom


Hello everyone, Mari here.  I’m a 26 years old Exchange student who is studying Graphic Design and I’m currently busy doing a Game Development semester here in Finland.  
My interests are gaming which includes all types of games from Tomb Raider to games like Worms Armageddon.  I also like reading and doing art and illustration as hobbies.  
My expectations of this course are to experience how it feels to work for a real client and develop my skills in working in a group.  I hope to grow and become more professional to be ready for when I begin my career.
My strengths lie in graphic design and illustration.  I can do traditional mediums as well as digital illustration. I am quite good with character designs and since I’m a graphic designer too, I can design icons, logo’s and promotional posters.  My weaknesses can be my shyness which can hold me back when doing group work, but I always try to do my best in my given tasks.
My previous work experience includes doing illustrations for a children’s book that is to be published sometime next year and doing illustrations for a board game for a gaming company.

Topias Vesterlund


I am a 21-year-old ICT student with focus on networking and this is my third year in TUAS. I would like to learn how to implement the skills I have learned in a lab environment to something concrete. One of my biggest strengths is that I come along with a lot of different types of people. Another strength is that when I really put my mind into something, I want to make it the best I can. The biggest weakness for me is finding the motivation to start working on something especially at home when there is so much other stuff I would rather do. I do not have any previous work experience in IT since I did my military service last autumn, which forced me to use the summer for studying missed courses and doing some paid work on the side.

The game uses 3D sounds and phone AR mode as a gyroscope to determine which direction the player is looking at. The games idea is to defend yourself from circus freaks that come from different directions by using guns and melee weapons. The game doesn’t have visuals so it is required to have surround sound headphones to hear precisely which direction the circus freaks are coming from. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/circus-masters-revenge/id1374289562 Papa Sangre II - Papa Sangre II is a horror-themed developed game by Somethin' Else and was released in 2013.   - it is available on IOS platform - it uses 3D sound (binaural audio) that makes it possible for the player to hear in which direction the sound is coming from.
