ENVERSED INTERNSHIP

About Enversed

The internship

CONTACT ME

Enversed is currently operating the largest VR center in Europe, where they create their own VR experiences focused on teamwork, competition and interaction.

For more information, visit their website here.

My first contact with Enversed was during a VR game jam they organized along with ManusVR. When the jam was over, I applied for an internship. Not long after that, I was asked to join the company as an official employee until the internship started (during summer break).

The primary role I fulfilled during both my employment and internship was that of a gameplay programmer (UE4 blueprint / C++). I was mainly responsible for getting essential gameplay systems up and running, as well as implementing multiplayer networking in several projects.

Because I joined Enversed in the period prior to the launch of the VR center, most of the projects I worked on were among the first to be used in the VR center.

What I learned

Working in multidisciplinary SCRUM teams in a professsional environment
Working with Unreal Engine 4 (both blueprint & C++)
Using Python and C++ to establish communications between external devices and Unreal
Developing VR experiences for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift
Multiplayer networking in Unreal Engine 4
Showcasing VR experiences during the Dutch Design Week expo
User testing
Designing & implementing hostile AI
