Howdy! I’m Merlijn — a 30-something Belgian game developer and programmer who probably plays way 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 for as long as I can remember, building my first DOOM levels in the 90s. Later on, spending my teenage years modding Half-Life. Eventually working as a technical artist in the games industry.

These days I’m just doing my own thing with Godot.

I sink many hours playing co-op games and Hunt: Showdown with my best bud, playing farming/sim games with my girlfriend, or listening to Men I Trust on repeat.

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