Digital Cannoli Games

After all the prototypes, the demo for The Chad was released on Itch during the summer of last year. Michael Falcone was focused on the final aesthetic tweaks for the build, while Nick D'Amico worked on finding any game breaking bugs and the final iterations of the demo's game spaces. Thank you for reading our small series on the different prototypes for The Chad. The Chad is on both Steam and Itch. The team is currently working on a 3rd person survival horror experience in UE5 with inspirations from the Resident Evil series and Soulsborne games. We are currently looking for a producer to help manage the team.

Last year, as the team was preparing for the launch of The Chad's demo build, Nick D'Amico was developing new game spaces and implementing art assets, while Michael Falcone was pumping out characters and environment art. Thank you for reading. This is the fourth installment of our early prototype and demo series. Next week we will be showcasing the demo build for The Chad. #indierevolution #indiegamedevelopment #leveldesign #3dart #characterart #environmentart https://lnkd.in/ervXCF4S

Hey Network, Thank you for all the support and those who we have recently brought on to the team.

During early development last year, the team made sure to quickly package new builds in order to test regularly and gain feedback. Nick D'Amico was focused on fixing game breaking bugs, adding features and new areas, and changing the controls for better ease of use while Michael Falcone was working on a big environment art push for the next major build. Thank you for reading. This is the third post in a small series showcasing the prototype and demo builds for our first game that was released in October of last year.

Hi Network, We wanted to continue our post from last week concerning help. We have brought on some great talent recently in design, art, and marketing. However, we do still have some areas that we could also use help in. We state that Digital Cannoli Games is currently a volunteer studio anytime we talk with people reaching out wanting to work with us. If you are interested with working with us, please feel free to reach out at digitalcannoligames@gmail.com or dm us here on LinkedIn. Concept Artist – Our team is looking for a concept artist who has both the technical and creative skill to develop concepts for our game’s environments or characters. We are working with a realistic leaning art style for our survival horror experience. Community Manager – The studio is looking for someone who is capable of creating and maintaining a community discord server. We are also still looking for additional environment artists as well! If you have reached out recently, we will get back to you shortly. Thanks for taking the time to read this post. If you are capable in one of these areas or know someone please comment or repost. #indiegamedevelopment #indierevolution #communitymanager #conceptartist

After developing the initial playables last year, the team pivoted a bit and restructed the gameplay. During this time, Nick D'Amico focused on developing earliest versions of the game's abilities that were tied to both combat and traversal. Michael Falcone had his hands full with developing the character art for the Chad himself and various environment art pieces to start bringing the world to life. Thank you for reading. This is a small series showcasing the early prototype builds for our first game, The Chad, which is out on both Steam and Itch. #indiegamedevelopment #indierevolution #gamedesign #leveldesign #3dart #characterart #environmentart https://lnkd.in/emzedDMA

Hey Network, The other day we put a post discussing the upcoming content coming on this page. We want to take this post to focus on the part concerning the help we most urgently need. We are a volunteer studio that has mainly kept a closed circle of who we bring on our project based on our own personal networks. However, we are shooting to change that. Below are roles that we are currently in the process of looking for. Also, for those who have already reached out, you will hear from us by the end of the week. Environment Artist – Mainly looking for someone who has a strong foundation in developing 3D environment art assets, modular kits, and props but also has a capacity for or the ability to learn art optimization techniques such as trim sheets, LOD’s, data layers, Nanite, etc. Technical Animator/Tech Artist – We are looking for someone with a capacity for developing 3D locomotion for our AI enemies using blueprints in UE5. It’s a plus if you can also animate characters and even have the ability to rig them. Tech Designer – The design team could use some additional help developing features using blueprints in UE5. Plus, if you have considerable knowledge in game balancing and progression. If you feel that you can fit any of these roles and want to work with us on our current game project, please feel free to dm us here on LinkedIn or you can email us at digitalcannoligames@gmail.com. #indiegamedevelopment #indierevolution #technicalanimator #techartist #techdesigner #environmentartist #3dart

Digital Cannoli Games started out with Nick D'Amico and Michael Falcone wanting to work on games together. Originally, they wanted to do something simple so they did some rounds of game ideation in google sheets and decided to work on a game where the Chad would have to avoid and fend off against his fans. This is video of the second playable build and the first one they tested after only about a week of development. #indiegamedevelopment #indierevolution #gamedesign #leveldesign #prototypebuild
