I've been working on this volleyball game for almost three years now. Lot of work to tune the gameplay and adding new tricks but well... if it can bring some good old fun (arcade style) to some people, it's worth it! ❤️👾

I just wanted to freeze this moment in which our game has 100% of positive reviews. I know it won't last forever, but as long as it lasts it's beautiful.

I never thought I'd be able to write this one day: our game in the popular incoming games on Steam (not the home but the dedicated section, but well... just WOW). 🤯

Very cool time-lapse by my colleague Manuel that shows the process of creating one of our stadiums: from the early sketch to the level design of every single element. The stands are generated procedurally.

New generations (I have two children aged 11 and 7) are the most digital connected but still the most disconnected from reality.

For my game we made a double UI "skin", one for the angels and the other for the devils. We had to make a double version for every control, but the result was nice!

I started my career making games with Delphi (an evolution of Pascal) for school children. Then Unity appeared and with C# it was love at first sight.
Simple, beautiful, with great support for OOP.
Years later I discovered that one person invented both languages: Anders Hejlsberg.

Imagine a multiplayer game where you control a group of survivors, set in a future where humanity is fighting a desperate war against an evil AI.

But everything is done through a fake operative system and a text terminal!
