Dr. Dimitri Palaz

I am a video game designer and an indie game developer with a background in scientific research and speech technology, where I spent several years building complex technical solutions and leading technical teams. Alongside this work, I’ve always been driven by a strong creative impulse and a love of games, which led me to design and develop video games. My design work is at the intersection of system design, world building and storytelling. I am fascinated by emergent game mechanics that give tools to players to interact with the game systems in their own way, specially when it's reinforced by strong world building and immersive narrative experiences. I also have hands-on experience in programming in Unity, as well as a background of software developer for 20+ years.
