About Me

My name is Daniel Eskildsen and I'm a Game / Level Design living on Fyn, Denmark. I’m an avid gamer, who's been lucky enough to have been able to work on games professionally for over 9 years. I have 4 major releases under my belt, as well as other projects and smaller games.

I'm a curious and hard-working person who's passionate about learning new things and likes solving problems within constraints and I take pride in being friendly, down-to-earth and productive.
