Our Team

  • Nabil, one of the founders of Ludocratic Games, lying on a beige couch with a fluffy white Pomeranian. Nabil is a man with short dark hair, a slight beard, and is wearing a dark shirt. The Pomeranian is smiling with his mouth open and tongue out.

    Nabil Oueida

    Founder💪

    Nabil (he/him) does a bit of everything at Ludocratic Games—design, engineering, and project management—all while keeping the team happy. Alongside Teja and Kito, he’s a co-director on The Box is Alive, taking on core engineering and design while managing the game’s progress. With roots in Lebanon, games were a welcome escape as Nabil immersed himself in RPGs, platformers, and fighting games. Outside game dev, you can find him either making gains at the gym or doting on his Pomeranian (we love a man who can do both).

  • KITO

    Founder📦

    KITO (he/him) is one of the co-directors behind The Box is Alive, responsible for its core game mechanics and level design. Always tinkering to create playful and surprising gameplay, KITO’s main objective is for players to have fun. What more could you ask from a simple, cardboard box?

  • Teja, one of the founders of Ludocratic Games, standing in front of a building with a wooden door and ornamental stone framing. Teja is a man with dark hair, a dark beard, and is wearing a dark grey suit with navy blue shirt.

    Teja Bhattar

    Founder🏆

    Teja (he/him) is a wearer of many hats, but primarily leads Ludocratic Games in art direction and design. He’s one of three co-directors on The Box is Alive, overseeing the game’s level design and visual flow. He loves a good roleplaying game, but can get hooked on just about any sort of media as long as there’s a great story attached. When Teja's not glued to his work or the studio, you'll instead find him glued to updates on his beloved Red Devils (GGMU).

  • Julian, Ludocratic Games' UX/UI designer, taking a selfie indoors at night, wearing a black cap, smiling, and making a peace sign with his right hand.

    Julian Randazzo

    UX/UI Designer💻

    Julian (he/him) leads UX/UI at Ludocratic Games, working across all aspects of graphics and visual design. Meaning he’s the guy who makes our game’s menus, buttons, and 2d assets look good. Julian grew up on PS2 classics like Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, and Ratchet & Clank, which shaped his love for game worlds and the subtle details that bring them to life. Born and raised in New York City, he now lives in Brooklyn with his beloved dogs Riley (16) and Pogi (6 months).

  • Osvaldo

    3D Environment Artist🎨

    Based in Denmark, Osvaldo (he/him) is a Dominican self-taught 3D artist with a background in engineering studies and five languages under his belt. He spent 2 years red-penciling for QA Localization before eventually landing in Tech Support Animation. Osvaldo’s love of games stems from RPGs like the Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy series. “When he grows up”, Osvaldo hopes to join the big kids at Nintendo and Square Enix in creating the franchises that jumpstarted his passion for game dev.

    Animator⚔️

    Alisa (she/her) is an animator that has over 5 years of experience in animation production. A self-proclaimed creator of “little guys”, she has a deep love for storytelling and making the ordinary feel extraordinary. When Alisa’s not animating, she’s busy playing D&D, admiring your local bear exhibit, and stabbing people with a giant (LARP-safe) sword. Alisa currently lives in the DC area with her husband Jake and their two beautiful children (both of whom happen to be cats).

  • Andrea, Ludocratic Game's Marketing Manager, sitting at a dining table with empty dinnerware and a tiered dessert stand full of sweets. Andrea is an Asian woman with dark, curly hair and is wearing a white and blue floral dress.

    Andrea Hatvani

    Marketing Manager✍️

    Andrea (she/her) is the marketing manager at Ludocratic Games, shaping everything from social posts and store pages to the very website you’re reading right now (howdy!) She’s a Northeast Ohio native who dreams of one day living somewhere that gets all four seasons. But for now she’s content going on long walks with her pup Archie, spending way too much time in character creators, and hosting epic D&D sessions through her computer screen.
