Hello there, everyone! I'm Federico Loriente (he/him) a QA Analyst that at the moment is not active in the gaming industry, but rather as an IT Help Desk support agent, yet I still want to make a breakthrough in the industry. I joined this community looking forward to do some networking, meeting other people in the gaming industry and, if possible, learning the basics of game production. My favorite genere is JRPGs (just turned off my PS5 after playing some Metaphor Refantazio) and I'm quite an esports enthusiast! I hope it I can make some meaningful connections through this community, and to learn more about the "backbone" of game development.

To help everyone connect and network effectively, new members are asked to post a short, formal introduction in the #introductions channel. Use the template below to structure your intro: 1. Full Name and Pronouns – e.g. “Hi, I’m Alex Johnson (they/them).” 2. Current Role or Title – Are you a student, indie developer, producer, or something else? Mention any relevant experience. 3. Interests in Gaming – Briefly describe why you joined (e.g. learning production, game pipelines, art, animation, connecting with the community). 4. Favorite Game or Genre – Optional, but helps others get to know your tastes. 5. Goals for This Community/Course – What do you hope to gain from participating? Example: Hi, I’m Sam Gamgee (he/him), a junior producer at IndieFun Studio. I joined this community to deepen my understanding of agile project management and learn how other teams tackle vertical slice planning. I’m a fan of action‑adventure games like Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War. My goal here is to share experiences, pick up best practices for cross-disciplinary collaboration, and help others where I can. Head to the Introduction Channel <=
