I am bringing artists and game deveoplers in a collaboration effort to develop games and apps. There are a couple of games under development. One of them is a sandbox game. We are hoping for investors once we have a demo ready. We are also looking at Kickstarter and a local incubator. But we are determined to ship the games to market.

If this is something you may be interested, please contact us.

OK, there's literally no way that you can have meaningful experience with all of those technologies as a third-year student. Can you sit down and implement even FizzBuzz on paper in each of those languages? Don't waste people's time by listing things you've only used once or twice.

Also, picking one or two of these skills makes you stand out a bit more for potential employers looking for these particular skills.

A bit like picking a vertical in a market.

I understand what you want to say but you can't judge based on how much time I spent at university. I starting learning computer programming while being in middle school, to give you an hint I successfully coded my first lines using the beginning of PHP 5.2 in 2007.

I am sorry if "I wasted your time", I didn't say that I master all this languages but I am pretty confident with most of them. I will not list all my skills and experiences but to give you a brief example:

C/C++: I wrote tens of thousands lines while writing UNIX and video games team projects. PHP: Thousands lines for various projects, personal website, URL shortener engine, blog engine for friends... Objective-c: During my first year internship I wrote and published 2 iOS app on the Apple Store. While I had no previous experience with such a language, this may show you that I am a quick learner.

Maybe you are too much used to regular student taking standard classes at university, but my university is way different from any classical university. It is a software engineering school. With its unique pedagogical approach, we (students) have dozens of projects (about 60 technical projects just for the 2 first years). This is a type of participatory learning that allows us to unleash our creativity through project-based learning. It's an atypical university, instead of regular lectures we have technical/practical projects to work on, all along the years to learn by ourselves.

You're not really selling yourself here. As pointed out by brianpgordon, listing a dozen of programming languages is not a good idea (know everything, master nothing). Why don't you tell us what you'd like to do? Your favourite programming language or one you'd really like to work with, your ideal location and a specific domain would be a good start.
