About

Programmer first,
producer by necessity.

Adrián J.

I write code. I've also built a studio from scratch, led a team of 10, raised funding, and shipped a live mobile game.

That experience doesn't leave you when you sit down to write a feature. You think about scope, about what the designer actually needs, about what breaks in production. You write code that fits the game, not just the spec.

After Project Legends I spent two years in Saudi Arabia with GameBCN, mentoring early-stage studios on production, game design, and shipping. That included programming sessions — gameplay patterns and architecture — delivered as group talks and one-on-one with individual developers.

Based near Barcelona. Nine years across programming, production, and design. Currently looking for a Gameplay Programmer role.

Game of the Week - Dragon Quest Smash/Grow

When you adapt a genre, the first question isn't 'what can I add?'. It's 'why does this work?'. The auto-battler formula works because it removes decisions. Adding goes against it.
