About

I am a self-taught game designer who has been making games as a hobby since September 2018.

  • First language: Italian (Native speaker)
  • Second language: English (C1)
  • Third language: German (B2)

I have a general understanding of all areas of game design, mainly about level design. I earned my level design abilities by observing level design in other games and trying to figure out their structure and point out details that normally go unnoticed. Learning programming on my own has tought me about game systems design and implementation. I have eccellent problem solving skills and critical thinking.

Nicholas Amigoni

During my university studies I gained a solid understanding of the core concepts of software engineering and excellent problem solving skills. Working as a self-employed game developer granted me a general understanding of all areas of game design. My thesis project, a graphics engine, was the result of my interest in graphics programming.
