David Ortel - Cofounder
Born and bred mid-west, U.S.A. I fell into my clandestine role as a 3rd gen factory worker. Although this was a secure living, I always aspired for more. I soon went to community college and began pursue psychology, then computer science, then pre-med chemistry. Needless to say I couldn't find anything to hold my attention. So I gave up.
The old factory changed owners a few times but life remained the same, until I got word that the factory was gonna shut down. Presented with the option to transfer to another installation, I packed up and move to Indianapolis. New plant, same as the old plant. New city, not the same as the old city.
Shortly after I arrived in Indy there was an education opportunity presented to me that I never have before, an art college. I had always like drawing and the like, but never really nurtured that side. So I enrolled. I had no idea the kind of things I would create or the amazing people I would meet. By going full time and with the help of a lot of transfer credits from my lost community college years I was able to graduate in 3 years.
Being one of, if not the first person to get a college degree in my family, I didn’t stop there. I decided that I didn’t want to work for someone else anymore so I found a friend with a similar dream. We collaborated on a few projects and it lead to starting a company together. A few years later we were ready to present our first game to the world…….to be continued.
Cristiano Mattos - Cofounder
While growing up in the vibrant city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, I developed an appreciation for art. My passion has taken me to places such as Italy, England, and the United States where I was able to develop my traditional art and learn new media techniques.
Various cultural and life experiences influence me as an artist. The biggest one comes from the diversity found in every different place I have the privilege of living in. I also enjoy exploring different themes and challenging topics during the creation process. I do not believe in the limitation of creativity. I believe in hard work and motivation through passion for what I do.
In order to expand my artistic knowledge, I attended classes at the Art Institute of Indianapolis and graduated with honors and a bachelor’s degree in Media Arts and Animation in 2011. Since my graduation I've been practicing and using the new skills I have acquired in several projects related to animation films and games. Today my biggest goal is to dedicate my time to new projects and make the game and animation company that I have started with a friend to achieve the success in the national and international scenario.
