Hi everyone! I'm Danjel, a full time videogame developer from Italy. Long time lurker, but I recently joined the Discord channel and had a chat with some of you.
I began playing F-Zero since I randomly got Maximum Velocity when I was a kid ("Mom I want this! There are racing spaceships!"), then felt in love forever. Today it's still my favorite game series of all time, with a preference for the GBA editions. After MV I digged more into the whole series, some of the collectibles, and managed to get all the original games except X. I play F-Zero mostly for the pleasure of it, never been into speedrunning or record attempts, but I wish I could find some time to play some time attack and cut my tiny place in the ladder.
I'm developing my own racing game in my spare time, called The Speed Fragment. It's heavily inspired by Climax and looks like a true Mode-7 game. Still in early stages, but I hope it will be a fan favorite the day I'll manage to release it.
Looking forward to the community. F-Zero lives.
