About Me
I am Pierfrancesco Catalano, a 25-year-old Game Designer currently working at ProudTurkeys.
Over the past year, my role has encompassed a wide array of Game Design tasks: organizing documents, creating tasks, devising mechanics, crafting level designs, and prototyping.Before that, I worked for over a year at Kool Games as a Game Designer, creating games like Hyper Casual and Idle Arcade, always aiming to impress publishers and improve game metrics.For the past three years, I've also freelanced, publishing "WordWar" on Steam and now focusing on projects like "Moon," particularly in aspects like level design, cameras, and story writing. My passion for video games and cinema, rooted since childhood, has led me to believe in their complementary nature, transcending each other's limitations.Enrolling in TheSign Academy in Florence was a key step. Graduating with honors in Game Design allowed me to embark on what I love: creating immersive gaming experiences.
