About Ewoud van der Werf and Nils Slijkerman

SCHiM started off as an exam project for Ewoud in February 2020. Ewoud had the opportunity to do his exam at Indie Game Studio: Extra Nice. Ewoud pitched the idea of platforming through shadows. Together with the company, Ewoud worked on what became the first version of SCHiM for his exam. Several tweets about the game caught the attention of possible publishers and the scope was adjusted to become a more full-fledged game instead of a short experience. Ewoud aced his exam and continued to work on SCHiM together with Nils Slijkerman and additional support from Extra Nice.
