Game Development by Kerem-Cenk Dibek

About Me

Hello! I'm Kerem, a student and hobbyist game developer looking to find my footing in the industry. I'm currently in my ninth semester studying Game Production and Management at the University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm.

Ever since I started making games, I've been fascinated by game design, animation, and pixel art, always striving to create experiences that are both fun and visually unique. I’ve worked on multiple university projects and even participated in three Game Jams—though I definitely plan to crank those numbers up!

Some of my all time favorite games include Balatro, Team Fortress 2, Dark Souls and Deltarune/Undertale.
More recent games i like to play are the Elden Ring Nightreign, Splitgate 2, MTG Arena and any Fighting Game.

When I’m not working on my own projects, you’ll probably find me gaming, animating pixel art, or experimenting with new ideas for my next game.

Work History

Tutor and Teaching Assistant for 2.5 years, primarily consulting other students on their projects, specifically guiding them through their iterations and polishing phase, and assisting professors with organizational work.

Student Internship for 6 months, working as a Game Designer and 3D Animator. Responsibilities included reorganizing the GDD of an existing project and expanding its documentation, as well as crafting first-person animations in Unreal Engine 4/5 using Reallusion's iClone 8 software. On projects i am not sure that i can talk about.

Under His Eyes
A point-and-click horror game created during the UUlm Hackathon × Game Jam 2025. With the theme “Liminal Spaces,” we blended photos of the university with pixel art to craft an unnerving, psychedelic experience—and we took first place! :D

Recent Work

Wildlife Tactics
Wildlife Tactics is a multiplayer game about wits and strategic planning. Made during the HNU Jam 2024, I contributed to Game Design as well as Pixel Art and Animation.

KILL GOD is an infinite bullet hell boss rush. Every time you kill "God" and force them into regeneration, they come back stronger, locking both of you into a never-ending battle. Made during the first UUlm Jam, I contributed to Game Design, Pixel Art, and Animation.

Pembe
Pembe is a personal project I am developing solo, taking on every role a developer can wear at once. It is still in the early stages of development. (Prototype available on Itch.)
