Javier has been a web design whore for the last 10 years and instead committing suicide he decided to join forces with Carlos to make games. The motto is simple: “Games we used to love brought to the 21st century”. His works have been spotted on CNN Money, Yahoo, and a bunch of other sites that made his customers very rich, famous, and popular with the opposite sex.
Javier also holds a “Master of the Universe Storyteller” degree granted by GOD himself and has been a ninja assassin for the last twenty-five years. He is also the responsible for the game design, coding and story of CYPHER: Cyberpunk text adventure.
