I create stylized worldsA safe place for everyone
I'm an indie developer and 3D environment artist who loves building quiet places - forests, small villages, snowy paths, cozy interiors. Spaces where people can slow down, breathe, and feel something warm.
My work lives somewhere between Unreal Engine, Blender, and Roblox Studio. Whatever the tool, the intention is the same: create simple, atmospheric worlds that feel welcoming and safe.
Flower Forest
My first complete public game, actively in development. A contemplative game focused on catching and collecting butterflies, with economy and progression systems.
Autumn Living Room
My first public interior scene, cozy and filled with easter eggs from my previous projects. Warm and soothing atmosphere with attention to detail.
The Plane
Minimalist and symbolic scene: a plane crossing a sky with day/night cycle, accompanied by particles. Personal symbol of departure towards Romania.
Moonbreak Village
Stylized winter scene representing a small village. Use of particles and dynamic lights. This project represents a skill milestone.
Crystal Tree Forest
Third challenge project: great stylistic evolution. Trees created with handmade PNG images, creating a poetic and luminous crystalline forest.
The Lighthouse
Second challenge project: an isolated island in the middle of the ocean topped with a lighthouse. Focus on maritime atmosphere, composition and dramatic rendering.
Flower Forest
Created for an artistic challenge by Jhestia. Stylized forest scene, with custom assets and emphasis on color and light.
The Hourglass
First scene in Unreal Engine with modeling and texturing done in Blender. Represents a giant hourglass in a snowy forest, with a mystical and silent atmosphere.
Lost Sanctuary
First 3D project on Unity. Dark fantasy first-person dungeon crawler where the player fights skeletons in a dungeon. First learnings in level design and lighting.
Taeres Chronicles
My very first development project. Narrative prototype built with RPG Maker VX ACE, using free assets. The player embodies Taeres, ousted from the throne by his wife, in a guided introduction. This project was an introduction to narrative driven games.
The Story Behind Thaeres Studio
I'm Jerome Genet, a self-taught game developer and 3D artist from Belgium. For more than ten years, I've been learning, experimenting, failing, trying again, and slowly shaping my own way of creating worlds.
I've always been drawn to peaceful environments. Warm light, soft colors, little details that make a place feel alive. Not worlds meant to impress, but worlds meant to make you feel good.
I started with RPG Maker as a kid, then moved to Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, and eventually Roblox Studio. Every project taught me something - not just about tools, but about why I create in the first place.
What I enjoy the most is atmosphere: how a color palette can change the mood, how a small breeze or a few floating particles can make a place feel alive, how light can tell a story without any words.
Over time, "Thaeres Studio" became more than a nickname. It became a way to describe the type of worlds I care about: calm, stylized, kind, and built with intention.
If my environments can make someone smile, relax, or escape for a moment, then I've done what I hoped to do.
Beyond game worlds, I've also been building in a different direction — exploring local AI systems, web applications, and tools that solve real problems. If you're looking for someone who thinks in systems and builds with intention, let's talk.
What I Do
• Stylized environment design
• Lighting and mood building
• Worldbuilding through color, shape, and atmosphere
• Game mechanics and scripting for gentle, intuitive gameplay
• Low-poly modeling and custom palettes
• Building immersive scenes in Unreal Engine, Blender, and Roblox Studio
