Lukas Eckart
I am a young game designer and developer from Cologne.
Drawing inspiration from science fiction classics and modern tabletop games, I aim to tell stories of unique worlds by merging elegant gameplay with immersive storytelling.
After completing my Bachelors in Animation & Game, I am currently studying for a Master in Visual Computing & Games Technology, while exhibiting and working on my first indie titles!
Projects I worked on
Fall of Porcupine
> Additional Programming
A critically acclaimed narrative adventure and exciting reflection of an unhealthy healthcare-system. During my internship, I joined during a critical time in its development, helping to ship and exhibit this title at Gamescom 2023.
Lunar // Drill
> Design, Programming, Illustration
Defeat the evil Mecha Spider that occupies your moon in this asymmetric couch Co-Op Bossfight!
Started at the GameDevWeek Trier and exhibited at Indie Games Fest, DoKomi and Gamescom 2024!
The Butler Did It
> Design, Programming, Writing
You are the butler and you just murdered the lord!Get away with murder before the time runs out by manipulating both evidence and information in this small 2D Point-and-Click narrative game!
These are just a few examples, that I am proud of.
You can find most of these, any many other game jams,
side projects and prototypes on my itch storefront.
