Bio
Julien Nathan
I have worked with Matias for about 2 years at SGN where I saw him rise from a QA role to a design role. His ability to adapt the new responsibilities was great and his passion for gaming and good work was impressive. He is thorough, har working and extremely personable. I very much enjoyed working with him and certainly hope to have that chance again in the future.
Jeronimo Saez
Matias is an extremely talented and intelligent game designer. I had the opportunity to work with him for 2+ years on Master Of Orion, where he showed a great passion for game design and narrative knowledge. Among other things he was in charge of the emperors' dialogues, where he displayed his enormous wit to bring those characters to life. And also presented high quality documentation for all his features and game mechanics. I absolutely recommend him, Matias is an amazing professional and a fun individual to work with.
