Eixerits Estudio, a practically unpronounceable word for English speakers… It has a meaning: eixerit is an adjective, someone who lives through intellectual or physical stimuli, someone alive, alert, awake. It’s a Catalan term that we strongly identified with, which is why we gave our unpronounceable studio its name.

We are two, yes, Luis and Adrián. Luis handles the more boring part (or so Adrián thinks) of programming, while Adrián takes care of the artistic side. We are two childhood friends who lived a typical life: studying, relationships, working… Nothing seemed to stray from the established path, but we always had that little nagging thought: “hey, when are we going to…?”, “we have to make a video game”, “let’s finally take this seriously”.

Between prototypes and failed ideas, nothing seemed convincing enough or valuable enough to commit a lot of effort and our time. But like all good stories, one autumn afternoon on a bar terrace, we had an idea: “the torero game.”

Oh yes, the torero game, how had we not thought of it before? (See the irony in this paragraph.) Here we have a saying: if it hasn’t been done before, there’s a reason. We knew it would be a tough challenge, but we like to make things difficult for ourselves.

So we couldn’t exactly tell you when Eixerits Estudio was born. Was it before the bullfighter game? After deciding to start Abanto…? The day we met…? The day you register the company…?

Enough! This is getting way too sentimental. What we can say is that between the two of us, we complement each other, whether it’s one’s fantasies and the other’s grounded feet, it’s an interesting mix, an eixerit mix.
