About me – GameDev

Hi, I’m Antonella and I’m a Game Developer. 😎

Born as a web developer, I started studying video game programming (gamedev) on my own with the goal of publishing my own games.

I’ve always been passionate about video games since I was young. I started playing Super Mario and Alien 3 on the Super Nintendo, and Monkey Island and Prince of Persia on the Amiga.

My journey is unique. After a journalistic career in Italy, always within the video game industry, I moved to France to change my life. Without the funds to attend a video game school, I opted for web development and continued to study independently on various platforms.

After ten years in web development, I decided to fully enter the world of video games, starting by creating games for mobile devices. I’ve published several games on Android and have others in progress – my biggest challenge remains figuring out how to make them commercially viable.

I’ve been programming in Unity3D for seven years and in Unreal Engine for four. Additionally, I use JavaScript, Phaser, and Lua (including Love2D).

Two years ago, I earned a Game Designer certification, guided by Benoît Freslon, an expert in casual gaming and mobile development.

Currently, I work as a lead developer for an emerging studio, D4F Games.

I’ve worked on two self-published platformers, Cat Dimension and Meta Ball, both released on Steam and developed with Unity3D and Unreal Engine 5.

Always fascinated by new multimedia technologies, I trained myself in programming to complete my skill set as a video game developer. I enjoy blending code with modern design to achieve the perfect mix.
