After about a decade of gaming experience in large and smaller companies, Italo-Ghanaian game designer Allan Cudicio founded his Riot Games backed studio, Twin Drums. Based between Berlin and Accra, he is currently working on the PC game The Wagadu Chronicles, the first Afrofantasy MMORPG. Allan’s big passions are Dungeons & Dragons, fried plantain, dogs, cycling, and justice.
