I'm Dick
Abanto Lou.
Game producer and designer. Consultant, from Lima to anywhere.
I've been making video games since 2011. I started in Venezuela with Gamitz, and my first game, El Gocho, reached #1 on the country's App Store. In 2015 I moved to Lima, where I studied game design and development.
Since 2017 I've made games professionally: first educational games for Legends of Learning, then with my own studio, Dream Labs, and later as a producer at Bamtang Games, where I led projects for Disney NOW and produced Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports for Warner Bros / GameMill, from pitch to Beta.
Today I help studios, brands and institutions take their idea into production. Soon, I'll also mentor game devs. What I enjoy most is what happens before the game exists: shaping ideas, deciding what to build first and putting realistic numbers on it.
Outside work I was a competitive League of Legends player (Top 10 in the Venezuelan league), a Twitch Partner and, long before that, a sponsored amateur skater.
