A 19-year-old programming enthusiast, he has been exploring the world of technology for four years. His passion for programming began during his first course, while he attended high school with an IT major. The beginning of his journey included various courses and classes at school, but last year Harun discovered a new inspiration – the desire to develop his own video game. Harun worked for a year on this project, faced many challenges and thought of giving up several times. However, his persistence paid off, and he finally completed the game, which he considers a significant achievement in his education in the field of information technology. Now, ready for new challenges, he is enrolling at SSST faculty, where he plans to continue deepening his knowledge and skills.
TRAVEL THROUGH TIME
The game, called “Ramo”, is an exciting 2D platformer adventure set in the spring of 1992 in Sarajevo. It provides players with a nostalgic journey through a turbulent time, as the main character, Ramo, tries to fight off numerous enemies on his way through the city streets.
When asked about the inspiration for the name of the video game, Harun stated that he needed a powerful name for the main character.
“Ramo came to mind because I needed a powerful name for the main character. It has nothing to do with a certain political figure” , he stated for Aktu.ba.
Ramo, the protagonist in the area of Alipaša polje, faces the dangers that surround him – from debts to dangerous people to persecution by the police. Each level brings new challenges, as Ramo battles enemies and sudden obstacles, while a secret weapon – the burek – helps him regain health and strength. The retro style of the game, along with 8-bit versions of famous ex-Yu songs, further enriches the atmosphere. The name Ramo came to mind because I was looking for a strong name for the main character. It is not associated with any particular political figure.
One of the most interesting aspects of the game is that the main enemy is not predefined. The player decides who that enemy will be, currently represented as a mysterious cloud with a beard, waiting at the end of Ram’s journey. This unique approach and the authentic atmosphere of Sarajevo from 1992 make “Ramo” a special game that will intrigue fans of nostalgic memories.
