Funny Fact #2

Hi again, Vlad in the keyboard here!

This is not really a funny fact, more of a funny story and the opportunity to present the guys here to you.

The Vortix Trio

Diogo

I decided to start with the younger of the three. Diogo doesn’t work with us unfortunatelly. He is a coder at Sony Entertainment where he codes for console games.

This should be enough to show how smart he is. Diogo is an excelent programmer with a lot of know-how and experience for some so young. I’m sure we’ll work together again when we buy Sony, right after we sell a couple of licenses to our next game.

Really… just a couple…

Marco

Marco designed these avatars, all the graphics for all our games and so on and so forth. He is the creative mind behind all that is graphical and lately many design issues also.

He is known here in Portugal as a reference for all videogame related graphical direction and production. Add to it that he rock’n'rolls with his band like there was no tomorrow and you get a full creative package!

By the way… he has a site!

Vlad

The guy with the big Jumbo ears is, unfortunatelly… me.

I’m basically a control freak. Born to the computer game industry as a wanabe designer, reborn as a producer/coder, I handle pretty much everything that needs to be done, from code, to mopping to hired assassination.

I’m the oldest of the three but also the one that has the nicest dog!

And the funny story

Marco created these graphics for a corporate presentation I worked on. When I took a look at the graphics I said that the one that was clearly closer to the actual guy was his, which is something quite impressive to do. I also noted that for some weird reason – although jealousy is presumably the cause – he was the better looking and told him that to which he replied:

“Well, I drew it, but anyway if my pic is the better looking guy, it is good because it translates reality!”
