IED Roma Website For 2.5 years I had the honor to work as a teacher for IED (European Institute of Design).My job was to teach how to develop games and experiences in xR (VR/AR/MR).

It was about time to go back to Codemotion, and on 2018 it was time to talk about… Machine Learning… but for videogames… in Unity! So I did: I prepared an hands-on example of a Flappy Bird (using my dear friend Joel’s face as main character and calling the game Flappy Joel) and I talked […]

JTPEngine started like every other dev project: let’s make something from scratch, have fun and learn from it.Never to be used in actual game dev production, JTPEngine is a 2D C++ Game Engine. Its goal is to provide an abstract, lightweight and cross-platform ready engine that uses only C++/std and JSON scripting. This engine is […]

Link to the WATTPAD page This time I had a very strange story in mind: what if a guy wants to kill an infant just to do a social experiment? This is how the novel idea was born.The main character is not a psychopath but he clearly had some issues in the past and now […]

This time we talk about the music video dedicated to Montecristo by Fish Taco. The idea behind this work was about presenting the reality in 2 forms: what is perceived and what it really is.Especially when media expose the fact with a nuance, it is important to distinguish the tone and the angle and get […]

This article won’t contain any info.It is just a memory of what happened that beautiful day. Yes I did ask the question by making a VR experience but I won’t show it here 🙂 I know you will understand!
Another round, another video music script, always directed by Stefano Bagnoli.This time we danced around the idea of the title (Around round) to let the characters play a sicked and drunk Russian Roulette.All tipsy, one of them started this stupid game with an empty gun.Every one pretends to play with the danger but without bullet.In […]

I was a young junior developer at the time and I was like “We should make this, this, this and that”. The amazing part is that my bosses of the time, Matteo Manganelli and Andrea De Ieso, heads of http://mutabilis.it/ , listened to me. So, we came out with a bunch on pitches and one […]
It all started as usual: let’s make a short movie!Stefano Bagnoli and me are used to say that over and over cyclically and this time we had an actual goal in mind: the worldwide contest named Art By Chance. The contest was about presenting an ultra-short movie (aprox. 30 seconds) with Changes as main theme. […]
