Meet the Team: Miguel Garnica

February 12, 2022

What’s your role on the Third Pie Studios (TPS) team and what all does this entail?

I am a software programmer and it’s my job to implement the core game mechanics. This means anything the player, the village, or villagers need to be able to do, I get to code and implement!

What interested you in game development?

I grew up loving video games, been playing since the N64 which I still remember very fondly. I was really interested in math and programming in school and I started making games with my friends and quickly fell in love. The idea of building a little interactive world that others can create their own experience in, stuck with me and pushed me to pursue game development.

What are your favorite video games, and why?

I’m mostly a PC gamer, but grew up on console games. My favorite video games are the Total War franchise games. I really enjoy strategy games and total war games combine turn based and real time strategy which is just the best of both worlds for me.

What are your favorite non-gaming things to do?

My favorite non-gaming things to do is to play guitar, mostly indie rock and metal music. I also hangout with my pet bunny toasty who loves to hop and zoom around, and is always interested in pets and head scratches!

What about Ages of Cataria are you most excited about?

I’m most excited that I get to build a fun and wonderful experience that will hopefully have a lasting place in the hearts of anyone who plays, like many of the games I grew up playing and loving
