Hungry Game

Nov 2009 - Jul 2010 (9 months)

- During my time in Hungry Game S.A., I worked in the development of 2 iphone games; Freaking Inkies and Sir Lovalot. Both casual, charming and unique. Freaking Inkies it's a casual shooting game, where the player shoots primary and secondary colors to hit crazy little color monsters called Inkies!

Jul 2009 - Nov 2009 (5 months)

- Advanced bug report, including easy-recognizable report name, clear description, steps to reproduce, chances of reproduce and image or video attachment. Like many Game Designers, my first steps in the videogame industry were as a Game Tester. Throughout my working period in QA, I had refined my testing skill to detect and report bugs with crystal clear descriptions and steps to reproduce. My only goal as a game tester is to deliver a free bug product and an enjoyable player's experience. These are some skills I learned in my QA period that I still find very useful as Game Designer: • Experience in finding art, animation and programming glitches. • Bug categorization according its gameplay impact: suggestion, minor, major, showstopper,
