Simone Durante
Game Developer from Italy
Hi all.
I’m Simone Durante, Game Developer and videogames lover!
As player my path start with old Commodore 64 (and my path as programmer too).
From there I moved into magical world of consoles and after a while I become an hardcore PC gamer.
I played a lot of genres, from all classic platform games to Shoot em Up, arcade, race games and of course RPG.
As programmer I always been charmed by some aspect of game programing such as Gameplay, AI, Graphic, Network, Tool but I think that my curiosity and my desire of knowledge allow me to dig deep any kind of role I want to assume.
I started my path into professional game developer in Appfactory as gameplay programmer but, with the help of good lead programmer, I had the opportunity to touch with hand most of game programmer roles.
I am not only a programmer or gamer! I love a lot of other disciplines, for example :
