Memento Mori was Green-Lighted!

As the title says, Academic Videogame Projects for Programmers have begun, and the game concept I presented was selected.

A team of designers (including me) will be defining gameplay mechanics and expanding the design while the programmers will begin to test the engine and code the game.


I'm thrilled to see what it turns out to be, not only because it was my idea, but also because it aims to communicate a very important message: to accept death of loved ones.


The game concept can be found here. And the trailer right here.

Talk about Serious Games

Hi there fellow gamers!

Today, I share with you a talk I gave on Serious Games, a topic I find very interesting.

This is video feed from GUEIM VIDEOGAME MEETING in Madrid, Spain.

Thank you for watching!

Symphonic Fantasies - Fantasy III: Chrono Trigger/Cross

Dear Gamers,

Exploring the web, looking for videogame musical arrangements, I stumbled upon 'Symphonic Fantasies', one of several Symphonic Game Concerts. Kingdom Hearts, Secret of Mana, Chrono Series and Final Fantasy Series. Result: I was completely blown away upon listening to each piece, especially the Chrono series one. 

I'm no expert music critic, but the feelings these pieces evoke are strong and unique. I especially like the moment when they combine 'People seized with Life' and 'To far away times'. Too beautiful to express with words. 

The pieces make you feel so much... going in a profound adventure, reminiscing your gaming experience, feeling the weight of a future that was never meant to be, and even the feelings the people that were erased from history. The story was way too complex, but if followed, it delivered a very, very deep meaning. 

Chrono Series really have some of the best pieces of music in gaming history.
