Portrait of Ville Seppanen

Introduction

I like working where art, design, and systems meet.

Hello, I am Ville Seppanen, a game developer and artist with a passion for crafting immersive worlds, engaging gameplay and polished visuals. I thrive at the center of creative projects that merge technical precision with vision. With a background in game art, design and programming, I bring a broad perspective to game development. I have experience creating 2D and 3D assets, UI design and game mechanics.

How it all started

From BASIC on a Commodore 64.

My passion for game development started at an early age, when I built my first game on a Commodore 64. It was a text-based, RNG-driven fighting game created from scratch using BASIC, and it gave me my first steps in both programming and game design. The project may be long gone, but the experience taught me about backups, persistence, and the joy of making playable systems.
