THE GROUP
We had the idea of founding a group of game inventors in
the 2001, when we was coming back all together from
Mucca games, an italian game
convention. On the car we talked about the prototypes we tried during
the convention: it was more enjoyable and… useful than working alone!
The name “Acchittocca” (it can be translated from Italian as
“Who’sNext") was born “playing”: we proposed and eliminated many
possible names. We have chosen it, at the end, in order to receive a lot
of subliminal advertising, every time a player will ask it during a
game! :)
Usually we start working on a game idea proposed by one of us: he
prepares the first prototype and leads the following brainstorming. Many
new ideas are proposed by everyone and the “project manager” chooses how
to develop the game. It is not unusual that someone wants to try to
develop the game in a different way and so sometimes we try two different
version of it.
