#Mutazione took me 11 years to make – Concept, World, Characters, Story, Creative Direction of a core team of up to 13 and the work of my career I’m most proud of (so far) – Out as a premium title on iOS and Android. It's even more relevant now and I hope it still is 11 years after its release.

Animation is a medium, not a genre, and, like any medium, there are some concepts that can only be properly portrayed using it. House of Leaves is an unfilmable book, the wizard Ekh in the 1983 short "Wow, a talking fish!" Would never have the same impact without being animated.

Very sorry to hear about the Polygon layoffs/news. The finance-led torching of games journalism is so bad for all of us - writers, players, devs. The health of any media industry or artform requires a functioning journalism and critical discourse.
