Merlijn in Tyrol, Italy

Howdy! I’m Merlijn — a 30-something Belgian game developer and programmer who probably plays too many video games.

Professionally, I split my time between the three companies I founded: Mithra Games, my one-person indie studio; Pandafish, a web development studio; and MyB’eats, an app and loyalty platform.

I’ve been tinkering with games since elementary school, building levels for Doom and Quake, modding Half-Life, and so on. Later, as a technical artist and programmer in the games industry. These days I’m just doing my own thing with Godot.

I sink way too many hours on my favorite shooter Hunt: Showdown, listening to Men I Trust on repeat, or messing around with retro games.

Find me on Bluesky if you’d like to get in touch!
