Hello ladies and gentlemen!

I am super excited about Steemit and can't wait to be part of this amazing community and meet a bunch of new people!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Behfar. I am 22 years old and I was forced to move to Germany  from Iran when I was 14 years old. I could not speak even one word of German. So I had a really tough first year here. However, I am grateful to my parents about this now and I probably won't ever be able to show them how thankful I am. The door of a whole new world was shown to me that day. I am fighting to open that door right now with 3 jobs while studying computer science. Yet I am sure I will fight through it someday and I hope Steemit will help me with this task.

Parkour and Free running

The first question I am asked is always one in particular: " How long have you been doing parkour?" And I think to myself: "When did I stop doing parkour and when did I start again?" I was an energetic kid. I jumped and climbed and played outside - even in my home. The answer is 5 years ago. I started doing parkour intentionally after watching the movie "Banlieu 13". After that movie I knew that this was the opportunity for me to be a kid again.

Here is link to my IG account where you can see me in action. :D

Game Development

I injured my ankle last December which took me half a year to recover from it. During that time I could barely walk. It was horrible and frustrating to not be able to follow my passion (parkour). Fortunately, I found a new one at that time - Game Development. I started teaching myself the programming language "C#" which is used in the "Unity" Game engine by watching YouTube videos - lots of them. Soon I am about to publish my first game on the PlayStore called "2HardRunner". It is endless platformer fun with the challenge effect for all groups of ages.

Here are some development screenshots. :)


Thank you so much for your time

I guess that is all the necessary information about me for now. I am looking forward to sharing my progression, training videos and many more with you guys. I will also keep you updated on my game development. Don't hesitate to ask me anything and feel free to contact me. Let's chat! :)

Please post some videos of you doing some Parkour! :D

thanks for your comment buddy. I am planning to show you around in my world of parkour soon :)

Welcome behfar. Anxiously waiting for your first steemit parkour video!

Thank you very much, I will post some videos soon :)

Welcome. Parkour forever.

Need any addictive sounds designed for your new game?

thanks cogliostro, Do you do parkour too?
Right now I am actually searching for a challenging loop sound for the boss stages.

Yeah, something similar - a martial art where there is a lot of emphasis on rolls and saves of every kind. Always admired the parkourist's technique for its simplicity and urban applicability.

What are your needs and wants for that boss loop sound? I am the king of seamless audio loop design and production. Basically I'd need to know what the context is, what's happening or whatnot, and what you imagine the best loop would be like.

Let's do a mini flashcollab, what say you?

Your sport sounds fun, keep up the practice.
Sounds great man, I would love to do a mini flashcollab with you!

Parkour is awesome welcome

Thank you very much, I am very excited to be here

I hope one day i will test my sport photography with your abilities!

It would be an honor for me to work with such a professional like you!

Heartening story Behfar! Hopefully you'll post more of your Parkour here and make #sport bigger than the 5 posts it currently has!

thank you very much, you motivate me to continue!

I tried doing some free running at Area 51. It didn't go so well.
