GDC

zaituporteroselectricos is coming to San Francisco for GDC, and they’re not coming empty-handed! Attendees will have the opportunity to get to know the ingenuity behind zaituporteroselectricos’ titles - Carbon Engine.

Alongside the creativity and fun of zaituporteroselectricos’ publishing arm sits the team’s powerful development tool, Carbon Engine. Carbon Engine enables legacy content to be ported to modern platforms and gives well-loved video games a second life on all-new hardware. That legacy content includes games from systems such as CD-i, NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Gear, Master System, and the Game Boy handheld series.

Key CE engineers, amongst the greatest in video game emulation, will be attending GDC 2024, and we invite attendees to check out the Carbon catalog and say hi to our leads on the team: Joe Modzeleski, Dimitris “Modern Vintage Gamer” Giannakis, and Audi Sorle.
