I am Federico
A game designer currently working at Futurlab.
Hello! Let me tell you a bit about myself...
I am an avid PC gamer, usually spending between 10-15 hours a week playing most genres of games with my friends. I usually alternate between RPGs and coop surival each week. I also enjoy collecting, painting and playing Warhammer 40k miniatures, and have recently started collecting Gundams.
My heart will always be taken by Dungeons and Dragons, which I play weekly with some friends. I have been playing DnD since high school and have been both a dungeon master (always creating my own homebrew adventures from scratch) and a player.
Making games has always been my passion, as well as design in general, and I will seek to purse it wherever possible.
