PreviewLabs

Catching up with friends old and new, talking prototypes, and sharing ideas that might just shape the future of game tech. Check out Bernard's GDC 2025 recap for a peek behind the scenes! #GDC2025 #GameDev #Prototyping #PreviewLabs #RapidPrototyping #GameTechnology #Innovation #GameDevelopment #DesignThinking

Bernard will be at?GDC next week, meeting teams who need rapid prototyping. If you’re working on something new or know a great?business developer, let’s connect. Message him to meet up in SF.

?? Way back in 2014, we developed a?Surgical Skin Simulator prototype?for G Anthony Reina at SKYSURGERY LLC—an innovative way to for surgeons to collaborate in real-time during robotic laparoscopic procedures. We recently revived a snippet of this prototype on our new Instagram channel , and it racked up over?9,400 views?(a big jump from our usual ~400)! Now, we’re curious how it’ll resonate here on LinkedIn. ? Our work on this simulator is a classic example of what we do at?PreviewLabs: build rapid prototypes to help clients test and refine their ideas fast. (We’ve done everything from?VR forklift training?to?multiplayer Kinect experiences?for major entertainment companies.) ?? If you’re exploring a new concept—whether in healthcare, education, or beyond—reach out to see how?rapid prototyping?could accelerate your innovation.

After co-organizing Antwerp location of The Global Game Jam with Michael Vandendriessche, Jarne Beaufays, one of our Game Prototyping Programmers at PreviewLabs, was invited by Lotte Buyl to speak at the VR Game Jam kick-off at The Park Playground. During his talk, Jarne broke down the essentials of game jamming in VR—emphasizing the importance of keeping scope realistic and building projects layer by layer, kind of like an onion. He also walked participants through XR SDKs in Unity, highlighting practical steps to get started and common pitfalls to avoid. It’s always great to see the game development community come together, and we’re looking forward to seeing what this new group of jammers creates this weekend! #GameJams #VRDevelopment #GamePrototyping #XR #Unity

Together with other game jammers, PreviewLabs team members made some awesome looking games. It's really important for the team as it helps them hone their craft of rapid prototyping in a context that offers an interesting mix of relaxation (without constraints) and pressure (due to the 48h time limit). See some of the results in the video as well as on our blog. Great work by the members of these teams! Joren Dresselaers, Alp Ertunga Elgün, Wietse Van Belle, Lorenz Delcol, B'Elanna Delannoit, Domien De Mol, Jitse Verstraete, Jarne Beaufays, Aymeric Goes, Anna Vucskics, Seppe Van Hoof, Warre Adriaensen

At PreviewLabs, we believe that?sharpening our rapid prototyping skills?is just as important as delivering great work. While we continuously gain experience through client projects, sometimes a?game jam is the perfect learning opportunity. That’s why PreviewLabs?sponsored The Global Game Jam location in Antwerp?and why our entire Belgian programming team joined in the fun—creating wild game prototypes in just 48 hours. Game jam entries by our team included?managing a rabies outbreak (with babies!), spraying champagne in a club, and rebuilding a spaceship after crashing onto an alien planet. ???Want to see what we made??Check out our recap on our blog:??? https://lnkd.in/ewY4M6U7 ?? A huge thanks to our fellow sponsors AMPLO, Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds, REVEAL game studio, and Het Bos for making this event possible! - and of course organization by Michael Vandendriessche, Pepijn Willekens, and Jarne Beaufays

Our “Meet the Team” series on our blog continues with Lorenz Delcol, Studio Manager at our Belgian office. With his background in game development and project management, Lorenz helps clients turn their vision into reality and uncover actionable insights. In addition, Lorenz’s expertise in technical art brings a unique perspective to PreviewLabs, enabling us to tackle technical challenges related to artwork more effectively. Reflecting on his role, Lorenz shared that “it’s not just about building prototypes—it’s about helping clients shape their ideas and explore new possibilities.”.
