THE FORTRESS
Hi
there, everyone! I came up with the original idea for the game in late
2016, when I was taking my Game Design course in Instituto Superior
Técnico. That includes the initial ideas for the Man, 42, and The Fortress! Right now I'm finishing my Masters Degree courses, with my
thesis following soon after. My main hobby is video games. I mostly
enjoy Japanese RPGs, rhythm games, adventure games, as well as any game
with a focus on story and character development. Some examples of my
favourite games include the Persona series, the Pokémon series, and the
Metal Gear Solid series.

THE FORTRESS
Hey! I'm hopefully in the last year of my masters and currently implementing my thesis about integrating a social AI architecture on a AAA video game, Conan Exiles. I'm very passionate about my hobbies which include gaming (this one was probably obvious), reading manga and watching anime, playing classical guitar (I've been doing it for 12 years) and practicing Aikido (I'm on my 4th year). I'm more of a singleplayer gamer and love games that "do their thing", like the Metal Gear Solid series. I do enjoy playing multiplayer games like Counter Strike or Overwatch if I'm doing it with friends.

THE FORTRESS
Hello there! I am a student that is now beginning a master thesis project about personalized game reviews evaluation for video games through the player's personality. My passion are boardgames such as Catan, Stone Age or even Dungeons & Dragons. But I also like video games such as Skyrim, Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 3 or even Far Cry Primal. Nowadays I am working on a medieval fantasy boardgame that I created and is already registered. Once a week I do volunteering in a dog shelter in União Zoófila and I also play volleyball. During the past two years I developed a mobile game powered by HP, named Steel & Magic.

THE FORTRESS
Yosh,
Andreia here! I'm in the first year of my master's degree, trying to
survive without losing hope! I'm passionate about game design,
illustration and storytelling, and that's the focus of my main projects
and hopefully my thesis at some point. In my free time (please come
back) I like reading, watching anime and playing video games (as you
imagined). My favourites are Child of Light, Transistor, Danganronpa and
The Walking Dead (Telltale Games). I'm mostly at home but if it is
Sunday, I'll probably be out finding some free museum or exhibition to
go to.
