About me

Hello, my name is Eline Adriaens (also known as Bean, Beanzfizations), I am 18 years old. I graduated my Senior General Secondary Education at CSG het Streek Lyceum in 2023. Now (2024-) I am studying Game Design at HKU University of the Arts Utrecht.

Games

Just A Man

For a school project, I had to make a game based off of a fascination of mine. I chose Epic: the Musical, so I decided to make a visual novel called "Just a Man". You play as Odysseus trying to get back home.

Jelly Joust

For a game design assignment, I had to make a new game with the mechanics of Asteroids and Snake mixed, so I made 'Jelly Joust' a highscore game where you play as a jellyfish and have to defend yourself against the fish and eat the other jellies in order to grow.

Masquerade of Lies

For a game design team project, we made 'Masquerade of Lies' a game where you have to pretend to be a part of the group in order to find your way out of the mansion. Click the button to go to the game.

Flight of the Weyr

For a game design assignment we had to make a tabletop game and make a videogame based off of a mechanic of the game. I chose for a fantasy theme with dragons, where you have to pass your own islands in order to collect food in order to survive the trip to your new island, your goal is to get there before the other dragons, you can fight them in order to slow them down. Below is a video that explains the tabletop game and on the right is a link to the videogame.

Asteroids

For a game development assignment we had to make asteroids, a highscore arcade shooter game where you play as a ship and have to shoot the asteroids to score points, you have to survive as long as possible with the highest score, and we had to put our own twist on it. This is my first project working in Unity and learning C#, so I tried to add a shield and a laser mechanic, bullet rain (where bullets randomly get shot across the screen) and menu's.

Video's

Self-portrait quadtych video

For an assignment, at the prep course I took for art school, we had to make groups and make a self-portrait quadtych video in which all group members have the same subject as our starting point, so my group chose for favorite colors. On the right is the full video and on the left is my part separately.

Detective Film

For an assignment we had to choose a person (real or fictional, random stranger or close friend), imagine what they'd be like and make a monument for them. The person I chose is smart and reliable , but gets stuck in a bad situation where they desperately try to solve everything by playing detective, but they get stuck on the details and mess up because of it. I made the monument with books and ripped pages for their knowledge and to symbolise it falling apart, thread for the desperation to keep it together and connect the dots, and a plastic bag to symbolise them getting stuck in their head. Out of this monument, we had to make a bigger project, the thread and the chaos of the books made me think of a corkboard, so I decided to make a detective short film.

Time video

A video about the passage of time.

Puppetfilm WIP

For a personal project, I'd like to make a short comedy-horror puppet film, I've had to put the project on hold, because I've been busy with other projects, but for now I've got a first draft of the script and the designs, I've put together a little video where is show some of the storyboard/designs/script/concept/tests. I've also used this concept for another project for my admission assignment for game design.

Games

Ontwerpopdracht

Worldbuilding/Character Design 

For the prep course I took for art school, we had to do a worldbuilding assignment. Shown in the pictures are character designs, the works of the mechanics and a description of the world (also in the document below).

Photography

Liminal Spaces

For an assignment we had to make a photo album with a photo series of a specific theme. I have chosen for liminal spaces as theme, liminal spaces are empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal.

Statues

Pictures of an assignment where we had to make statues of ourselves using objects, with this we went for a ghost theme.

Ceramics

Over The Garden Wall

Tree Nymph

TARDIS (Doctor Who)

Vases/Dish

Paintings

Collage paintings

For an assignment we had to take a picture of one of the earlier assignments and make a collage of it, then take a detail of the collage and make a painting based off of that. Below here is a picture of the collage, I took the detail of the silhouettes to make 2 different paintings.

Abstract

For an assignment we had to make still life artworks, cut those up and put them in a collage, to then cut the shape of the collage out of a painted (in 1 colour) sheet and stick that onto another painted (in another colour) sheet, and then paint over that by abstracting the shape of the collage. I saw a heart in the shape, so I painted that, then I kept working outward and making it bigger.
