Diamond Tao is a one man company/project devoted to the development of games for pc and mac and the exploration of different design possibilities. Diamond Tao is based in Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy.

Originally started back in 1998 on a part-time basis, it then moved on to become a full time activity till the release of Tales of Lorea (2003), shareware for mac. Development of the following project Nexus 5 was well under way, but eventually the title didn't see the light of day.
After enrolling back to school and getting a diploma in informatics with 100/100. I started to take an interest in game development again, and in 2017 work started on Wicked Times, the translation of a text-only game that I had made some 20 years prior.
After the release of Wicked Times in 2023, work intensified on the next project Operation Terra, a much more ambitious First Person Shoother / Role Playing game, interspersed with the occasional update and new feature for Wicked Times.


On game design:
Games are like windows onto other worlds, a sort of alternative life, in a broad sense, an alternative existence.
While a lot has already been done in terms of game design, and we certainly cannot reinvent the media that has helped it develop so much in the last few decades, Inspiration is always pushing us to make this art better fulfill and give shape to our fancies, our needs, our whishes, our visions, our dreams, our destinies.
May Inspiration always feed our souls.
