Wicked Games

Jose Soto! The youngest member of the development team, now dethroning Captain Gareth as the youngest of the group. At a very young age, Jose received an Arduino as a gift from his father, starting his journey with programming. So to all parents out there, here's a tip from Jose's papá on how to make use of your children's love of video games; simply make them a learning tool.

Jose doesn't only create video games; he also enjoys playing them. When we asked about his favourite game, he said it was Dishonored. But when we asked about the game he plays the most, he had to go and check for the exact amount of time he spent playing each game to give a precise answer; that answer is Rainbow 6 Siege. What can we say? He's just all about accuracy and precision!

Jose is very proud of passing the extremely selective high school system in his country, Costa Rica, with honors and pursuing his studies in mechanical electronics just as he desired. However, the pandemic gave him a chance to reconsider. After spending long hours developing his own indie games, he changed his heart and decided to return to his childhood's first love.

Although he's still a student, Mr Karsten, our talent hunter, couldn't just pass by this young man's potential and brilliance and decided to make him part of the Wicked Games team. Jose doesn't consider himself more intelligent than people his age; he attributes his achievements to hard work and dedication to what he does.

During the short time he spent with the dev team, Jose is enjoying the project and the company of his fellow Wicked Gamers. He also highlights that his Senior developers jump to the rescue whenever they sense he's struggling with something, and he truly appreciates that.

With us, this young man is living his dream by unleashing his potential and indulging himself in the process of creating a fun and purposeful game for people to enjoy. So be proud of yourself, Mr Jose and on behalf of all team members, we tell you, "Herzlich willkommen!"
