About me

Hey guy’s, I’m Voylin!

A Little introduction about me, my name is Voylin, I grew up in Belgium but moved to Japan in 2020. My hobbies are hiking, DIY, learning and programming.

I speak Dutch, English, and Japanese. In terms of programming languages I know C++. GDScript, and Python well enough to confidently say that I know them.

Godot is my tool of choice for creating both games and software with my biggest project being a video editor called GoZen which is being developed with Godot and FFmpeg.

I run 3 YouTube channels:
– Voylin’s Life;
– Voylin’s Gamedev Journey;
– Voylin Sensei.

A day without learning is a day walking backwards.
Voylin :p

Why I use Open Source projects

Open source projects create a view into how bigger programs function and can help your learning experience of the programming languages you are trying to learn. For me open source isn’t about software being free, it’s about software being open to be used in whatever way you want to without limitations.

A big addition to open source software is that companies who do develop applications for selling or getting subscription money for is that they will always need to make certain that they are better compared to the free alternatives, something which I find is important to not create any monopolies.

My future dream

My future dream is to be able to make videos, software and games and live from them. The ideal future for me is to be my own boss in a way which can allow me to create more family time as this is one of the most valuable things for me.

The way I’m trying to achieve this future dream is by working hard. Since I quit my job in 2023 because of a burn-out, I haven’t been standing still on trying to become a freelancer. This website, my other website, my ko-fi page, my YouTube channels, my Itch.io page, …

Basically, I’m working towards my goals every single day. One of my other future goals is to provide valuable content for people wanting to learn programming, and to provide great open source software. If you want to support my mission in this, click the button below. 😉

FAQs

Am I available for hire?

I’m available to hire if the project is Godot related as this is the field I have the most knowledge of.

Will you make Godot courses?

No idea for now, maybe, but those will most likely be free as I’m a fan of free knowledge.

When will GoZen be fully released?

GoZen is a giant project, as much as I would want to work on it non-stop, I also need to earn something. Hence why I run 3 YouTube channels, run 2 websites, have a Ko-fi page which gets an article posted on each week, … Time is very valuable and it’s something I can not create more of. Donations do help to relieve the pressure and allow me to dedicate more time towards GoZen though.

Can I be part of the team?

Everybody is welcome to join the “team”, at this moment it’s not an official team or anything, especially since I don’t even earn enough to register myself as a freelancer haha. Just join the Discord server if you want to join the team!
