The ever-smiling Paolo Mazzia is a Game Artist at Jyamma Games. Paolo Mazzia deals with all the graphic aspects of the game. Watch the interview to find out which game collaboration he cherishes the most!
Since I was a child I used to play video games, and now I’m the one who makes them. I am the person who actually creates what players will be able to see.
A game artist needs to manage everything that deals with graphics in a game. Going from the concept phase to the final assets. He or she needs to take care of the game world, the lights, the creatures, the guns, all possible weapons, and obviously the characters.
It’s great working at Jyamma Games because we’re a group of very passionate and motivated people, I know that I can count on any of my colleagues, there’s a lot of mutual trust and a lot of respect.
The working environment is great, we work a lot but it’s a pleasure working here. We’re young talent full of motivation, passion and energy.
We like challenges, going beyond our limits and we’re just like a family. Square Enix and Disney together, when I first played it when I was a child I was maybe too naive to fully understand the worth of it, and many people in the beginning saw it as something odd and incompatible.
But in fact I think it’s a winning combination, they really did an awesome job and there are some emotional moments which I still remember. Myself in three words: I would say bright, because I’m always smiling.
I’m a very precise and tidy person, I’m an unusual person because I like to clean things and keep them organized. I’m also altruist because I enjoy helping others, when someone has a problem I like helping them feel better.
