Who?
.jpg)
Hey! I'm Victor Selnæs Breum and I design, direct, write and program digital and physical games in pursuit of playfulness and beauty.
I co-founded Indoor Sunglasses, a new small studio in Copenhagen, Denmark, with a love for mysteries and curiosity. We're working on our first game, Mind Diver - an early version of Mind Diver got nominated for IGF and AMAZE Berlin.
I studied Direction of Animation and Interactive Media at the National Film School of Denmark. You can just call it Game Direction.
I also like swimming in ice-cold water, biking, reading, playing Klask, hiking, trying to speak Chinese, partying and zeppelinning. I have a life-changing epiphany every second day.
I used to be lead organizer of Nordic Game Jam, one of the most iconic game jams in the world with over 500 participants. Among other things, I led the transition to Online when corona struck!
I strongly support and work for inclusive and sustainable game development.
Resumé?
Why games?
The short: I love making them.
The long:
Games are repulsive and wonderful and fascinating and terrible and lovable monstrosities. I am attracted to trying to grasp what they are, what their importance is, what makes them tick, and I try to answer those questions any way I can - but mostly through making them.
I believe in personal, artistic expression through game design, and the connections created between the creators, the players and everyone else adjacent. I try to make games that
-
Awaken curiosity
-
Are accessible to new audiences
-
Enrich people's lives instead of taking away from them
-
Are both tender and critical in their outlook on the world
If you have some of the same ambitions, please do say hi - I am always happy to meet more people on this exploration.
