Introducing Alvaro, Black History Month Spotlight, UCH Sales and more!
/Hello there!
We hope 2022 is treating you well so far. We didn’t have much to say last month but now we’re back with some exciting news! Here’s what we have for you today:
Meet our new team member, Alvaro!

Meet Alvaro
If you remember our job posting from December, we’ve officially filled the position!
Alvaro recently joined our team as a Unity Game Designer and, while we’re sure you’ll get to know him in the coming months, here’s his brief introduction:
“Hello there! It's been an exciting first week, getting to know everyone and learning about Clever Endeavour's new game. I can already tell it's gonna be a fun ride.'
A bit about me: I wanted to be a filmmaker before I realized there are additional ways I can apply my creativity. At some point, I learned how to code just well enough to make interactive things move on a screen... which, to make it short, led me down the never-ending path of game design.
From there, spending way too much time on itch.io made me develop a taste for innovative and wacky games, which is one of the things I plan to bring to the team. But let's be real, my true mission is to beat all my teammates at Ultimate Chicken Horse.”
