Shaping the Lives of the Future

Hi there,

My name is Justin Looman and am currently a 4th year at Rochester Institute of Technology. I am a game developer who loves to create and balance worlds for myself and others to enjoy and explore. I have experience leading multiple projects like Ninjas on Trampolines, ChangelingVR, Icarus, and Helpless. Through my time leading these projects I have learned how to bring together multiple disciplines and create the best possible product. My most recent project Ninjas on Trampolines is currently going through the Maker program at RIT with MAGIC Spell Studios.

My passion for gaming goes all the way back to when I was a kid. Playing games and getting lost for hours, often getting me into trouble, made many core memories. Now I'm looking to return the favor and bring many good memories to those experienced and new to gaming.
