About me
Hi! I'm Alex, the founder of Leonida Interactive. I've loved GTA since I was a kid. The RC helicopter mission in GTA Vice City — after a week of attempts, despair and shouting — became my favorite. And when GTA 5 came out, I thought: this is very good, but it's missing the spirit of San Andreas. The gym, the food, the dates — all of that was missing from the fifth game, and even then I was sure the sixth would be better still.
A lot happened after that, but I decided to tie my life to game development. And here I am, eleven years in as a technical artist — VFX and real-time graphics, from game engines to visualization. Shaders, lighting, performance optimization, animation — that's my day job, which is to say exactly the wow moments Rockstar shows off in every GTA 6 trailer. So the technical trailer breakdowns on this site are written from an expert's seat, and every article carries a piece of fan excitement. You, me and the whole world are holding our breath for the miracle that is GTA 6.
