Alejandro Arque Gallardo - Senior Games Designer
I've been working since 2006 as Game Designer in a variety of platforms (console, pc, mobile, facebook), game genres (narrative, 3rd person shooters, racing, puzzles, open world adventure, online shooters, management, sports) and responsibilities. I also have a programmer background that helps me better understand the problems and limits of the programming in videogames. The last projects I worked on was the narrative episodic game series called Life is Strange (Life is Strange 1, Life is strange Before the Storm, Life is Strange 2), which won a couple of BAFTA Games Awards, the Peabody-Facebook Futures of Media Award and The Game Awards' Games for Impact Award amongst other awards.
I was nominated as Best Game designer at the GameDev Heroes Wards of 2019.
