Gianfranco Berardi is a Chicago-based indie game developer. After studying games and their development for years, and realizing that he does not need to work for someone else, he started his own game development business in 2006. He writes about all aspects of running an indie game development business, including game design, development, publishing, and marketing.
He is a GNU/Linux enthusiast, and to that end he hopes to produce cross-platform games. Personal productivity is another interest of his. Inspired initially by Steve Pavlina, he has found that most productivity experts are experts because they learned from all the other experts, and so he tries to learn from many different sources.
He is a gamer. His first game system was the Atari 2600, and even back then he loved playing Pac-man, Berzerk, Yar’s Revenge, among others. His other consoles are the NES, SNES, original Gameboy, N64, Gamecube, and Nintendo DS. He does play games mostly on his computer these days, but that’s what happens when you don’t have a TV.
