Attributions & credits.

This site uses third-party fonts, libraries, and icon sets. Full credits below. If you spot an omission, let me know.

Visuals

No third-party 3D models, stock imagery or purchased assets are bundled. The 3D scenes are procedural geometry generated in code at runtime — there is no model file to credit. The kinetic background on the home page is a CSS-only animated dot grid scoped via mask. Photography, screenshots and brand artwork are my own. Concept screens for unbuildable case studies are SVG composed at screenshot time (see scripts/concept-screens.mjs).

Fonts

  • Space Grotesk — Florian Karsten, OFL (display)
  • Inter — Rasmus Andersson, OFL (body)
  • JetBrains Mono — JetBrains, OFL (code & metadata)

Icons

  • Lucide — interface icons, ISC license
  • Simple Icons via react-icons — brand logos, CC0 marks (each brand’s trademark stays with its owner)

Libraries

The site stands on the shoulders of permissively-licensed open source:

  • Next.js · Vercel (MIT)
  • React · Meta (MIT)
  • three.js (MIT)
  • Framer Motion (MIT)
  • Lenis (MIT)
  • Tailwind CSS (MIT)
  • Shiki (MIT) · Vesper theme
  • clsx (MIT)
  • tailwind-merge (MIT)
  • Lucide React (ISC) · react-icons (MIT)

Embedded games

The games on /games were built by me — the code is my own work — and are embedded via sandboxed iframe. Most are static exports of Next.js projects that live in this repository under games/. Two are not: Neon Phaser is a hand-written HTML + Phaser build and DALL·E 3D Merch is a Vite build — both are checked in as compiled output only.

Some of the older game bundles include art and audio I did not create myself. Where a game embeds a third-party asset it is used under the licence of its source, credited below. If you recognise an asset that should be credited differently or removed, email mattias.deridder [at] outlook.com and I will fix it.

Neon Phaser uses third-party sound in its story and combat scenes:

  • “bulletshot” (Target Xplosion OST) by Gumichan01 — weapon fire.
  • “Synthetic explosion 1” by Iwan Gabovitch (iwan.tumblr.com) — public domain.
  • “The Field Of Dreams” by Paulius Jurgelevičius — public domain.
  • “High In The Mountains” by Metaruka (Game-Game OST) — licensed under CC BY-SA.

DALL·E 3D Merch began from a public React Three Fiber tutorial (source) and bundles its scaffolding assets: an environment map from Poly Haven (CC0), the tutorial’s shirt model, and the React, Three.js and Vite logos, each the mark of its project.

  • Phaser 3.60.0 (MIT) — the engine behind Neon Phaser and Heli Escape, vendored into the bundle rather than loaded from a CDN
  • Howler.js (MIT) — audio in Pinball
  • three.js · React Three Fiber · valtio (MIT) — DALL·E 3D Merch
