Justin Cinicolo started out making educational games at Leapfrog, then shifted very early to Zynga and helped launch Mafia Wars on Facebook.
This was very successful. :) Justin ended up being an early GM for the project, before shifting to spearheading the early mobile studio effort.
Suffice it to say, Justin has made a ton of games, across a variety of stripes.
After Zynga, Justin helped shepherd early prototypes & team development at Pocket Gems, supporting very successful launches for Episode Interactive (still a category leader today, 12 years later, in interactive fiction) and War Dragons (a unique combination of rail shooter & 4x).
Justin went on to join the C-team at Rally Health in its early days, and more recently returned to making games.
He’s been an avid MtG player for decades now, and has great production sense as well as game design chops.
(In other words, when he’s making games, he’s in the right place.)
