Hi! I’m Søren.
I’m a Game Designer specializing in Gameplay and Systems Design. I'm about to finish my studies at Futuregames in Stockholm, Sweden, and I’m looking for an internship where I can grow as a designer and hopefully provide some value for you and your company.
As a designer, I emphasize curiosity, experimentation, and iteration to create satisfying and cohesive experiences for players, whether that be in the moment-to-moment gameplay, or
I firmly believe that every development team needs three essential components to make awesome games that people will enjoy: strong collaboration, open communication, and Boundless curiosity.
For any company that is seriously considering me as a candidate, please be aware that I am not currently in a position to relocate outside the Stockholm area.

FleshBound
FleshBound is an action-packed first-person parkour shooter in which you and your parasite buddy run, dash, wall-run, and grapple your way through the depths of hell, making the monstrous denizens in your way go splat on your way to freedom.
It is incredibly humbling that this game has received multiple awards from the Swedish Game Awards and Futuregames Awards.
I am also very proud that the game has been played by thousands of people all over the world on Steam.

This prototype was made as an assignment for our Multiplayer course.
I wanted to create a tab-targeting system that works similarly to those in games like Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft. To go along with that, I made four playable classes with two abilities each, as well as a basic Enemy AI.
Each Character has a set of attributes that can be balanced as needed. These include attributes like Health, Mana, Crit Chance, Attack- and Spellpower.

This prototype was made as an assignment for our Advanced Game Design course.
We were tasked with creating a Boss Fight feature for a hypothetical game in “active development” but was missing a key gameplay feature to serve players who want challenging encounters.
We knew from the beginning that abilities would play a big part in this feature. As such, I decided to learn the fundamentals of Unreal’s Gameplay Ability System, which we utilized for this prototype.
