About twenty years ago, in July 2004, I started a little – now long gone – blogspot.com weblog, mainly to document and share my ERASMUS experience in Copenhagen.
You are now looking at what it has become over the years…

Monument Valley 1 & 2
Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2 are indie puzzle games with an isometric view in which you have to guide your main characters through mazes of optical illusions and impossible objects, manipulating the world around them in order to reach different platforms.

I will continue to support the school team with maintenance, development and working on the long list of ideas we still have for the site. These include updating some of the images in collaboration with the photography course and better integrating the school newspaper and other school projects.

It’s maybe not the greatest game of all times, but it was a fun to play and explore.
Some technical issues with the full-screen mode and when playing on the Steam Deck were a bit annoying.
