Hello everyone! i'm Giulio Piana (He) I've been a video game developer for over 15 years. I started with Flash games, then moved to mobile and other platforms with Unity. I co-founded Broken Arms Game, an independent studio, and then worked for a few years at Miniclip and Gameloft. Last year, I had some changes, first in a newly formed team at Voodoo and then at a startup in Singapore. In November 2024 , my contract ended at the same time with the birth of my second child, so it took me a few months to decide what to do. Now, I juggle beetween being a father, working as an indie developer, and working as a freelance consultant. You can follow my journey on linkedinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/giuliopiana/ I joined to meet new people, and improve my game production skills that i need to be focused on what is importnat. I like different kind of games but the one i play trought all my life are Zelda and Mario. But i also enjoy some fps and rts when i have tiem to paly... My goal is to become more precise and organize and learn more production tools and techniques to implement in my daily work.

Hello there, everyone! I'm Federico Loriente (he/him) a QA Analyst that at the moment is not active in the gaming industry, but rather as an IT Help Desk support agent, yet I still want to make a breakthrough in the industry. I joined this community looking forward to do some networking, meeting other people in the gaming industry and, if possible, learning the basics of game production. My favorite genere is JRPGs (just turned off my PS5 after playing some Metaphor Refantazio) and I'm quite an esports enthusiast! I hope it I can make some meaningful connections through this community, and to learn more about the "backbone" of game development.
