Wicked Games

Introducing Michael Liptrap, our newest addition to the Wicked Games family! Transitioning from high school aspirations of game development to a successful path in IT. His professional odyssey has taken him across multiple U.S. states.

With each move, he embraced new challenges with the same enthusiasm that characterizes his approach to life, and excelled in various roles. Michael's unique approach to learning is marked by his deep commitment and sharp mind; he doesn't merely scratch the surface but delves deep into each skill, becoming a seasoned expert. He enjoys reading source code in particular, and has studied hundreds of projects over the last 20 years.

But beyond the realm of work, Michael is a person of many passions. He loves cooking, music, and never misses his daily gaming session. He has a diverse gaming pallette but enjoys RPG's in particular. Some of his many favorites being "Skies of Arcadia," "The Witcher 3" and "Anything made by Bioware, Black Isle and Obsidian".

Yet, amid all these achievements, Michael's deepest connection remains with family, as they provide the anchor in his journey. It's this combination of honesty, tenacity, and a multiskilled nature that makes Michael a truly exceptional addition to any team and we’re happy to finally bring him home with us, to the gaming world, where he belongs.

Awesome should be his first name, Joel Magnan our new generalist artist is ready to leave everyone speechless with his designs and new ideas.

Seeing his brother play Starcraft and Warcraft III when he was little, made him really curious about video games. Since then he is eager to try all kind of games and see what they have to offer. He spent countless hours playing in the world of Skyrim, but at the moment he can’t decide which is his favorite game, between Warframe and Mount & Blade, they are so different and yet a hard choice to make…

His curiosity of knowing how video games are made didn’t stop at just playing them, he worked in several game projects. Although with us he learned things that he expected to be more prepared for, he is very invested to help the project and always finds a deeper meaning for features or solutions we want to implement.
