Praise The Snek
with Stefano Bertolin, Mattia Ceretta, Demetrio Tagliapietra
game design, art direction, graphics&UI
Game made during the 43° Ludum Dare Jam: Sacrifices must be made
In the ancient village of Snecohtitlán you can either be a worshipper of Achtla, goddess of the sun and fire, or a cultist of Ezqui, god of thunder and storms, deities known as the two faces of the Mighty Snek.
Bring offerings to your deity to protect the village from their wrath.
Each deity will ask for 3 offerings at a time (fruit, gold, hens and NEWBORNS!), pick them carefully and bring them to your temple’s altar. Remember: bringing something unrequested to your altar will make the deity very sad.
The wrath of any god will affect the whole village: beware of Achtla’s fire walls (they will ostruct your path) and Ezqui’s electric fields (they’ll destroy your offering if you step on them).
When your deity’s satisfaction bar reaches zero, the other cult prevails and you lose.

Throughplay: attraversando il medium videogioco
graduate thesis
Throughplay: walking across the videogame medium is my thesis project at Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia.
How is it possible to use videogame for contemporary art? The first part of the book focuses on analyzing the qualities and identity of this complex medium, through themes such as player psychology, the effects of play on human beings, the emotional offer (between failure and gratification), the relationship between narration and interactivity. A second part, then, talks about how videogame entered the art world, as a pop culture element and as an expressive tool. I wrote about Game art and Artgames, with a case history filled with interesting projects by artists such as Cory Arcangel, Joseph DeLappe, Blast Theory, Bill Viola, Molleindustria, Galactic Cafe.

SUPER MAGICAL INVISIBLE RUN
game design
SUPER MAGICAL INVISIBLE RUN is a videogame I made to accompany my graduate thesis. It's a playable reflection on the themes of tactical immersion and flow.
The focus is on gestures: the player sees their own hands and the input 'prosthesis' (the controller).
The gameplay is very simple: avoid obstacles placed in two rows (upper and lower). However, we see the gesture and not the game, which is in another space (3D audio in the player's headphones).
