Those who do not read, at seventy years old, will have lived only one life: their own. Those who read will have lived five thousand years.
Umberto Eco
Yo, I’m Alex, an Italian game designer with a passion for video games and cinema.
I was born in 1999, and a few years ago I decided to leave my old life behind to dedicate myself to game creation. After completing my studies at Event Horizon School, I chose to specialize as a level designer, focusing my specialization project on Curiosity-Driven Exploration.
I see video games as experiential and expressive tools, capable of touching the emotions of those who play. My goal is to develop deeper knowledge and skills related to curiosity, in order to learn how to harness it within the games I create.
Moreover, during my studies, I developed an interest in the world of design as a whole, not only focusing on the creation of game maps but also on game design theory, UI design, and storytelling.
Lastly, I’m deeply passionate about the history of cinema and the history of video games.

Level Designer for Llamageddon Studio

Pizza Quest is a project developed during my final year at Event Horizon School and is available on Itch. In this project, I contributed to the creation of a section of the game map, starting from theoretical research and then developing the layouts and block-out, with the goal of designing an Italian-style city map that allows players to reach delivery points in a free and enjoyable way.
