How Dinobros was created, let's ask Samuele and Manolo

How was Dinobros born? We asked the two co-founders of the company: Samuele Sciacca and Manolo Saviantoni. A chat with friends, the development of a meme game and the beginning of a new era called Dinobros.

We want to introduce ourselves to tell you Who are we, because the dinosaur has become our trademark and above all because we are not afraid of changes and evolution.

Who is Dinobros and what can we do best, our founders can certainly say it, Samuele Sciacca, CEO of Dinobros and Manolo Saviantoni, co-founder and Pixel artist of Dinobros.

We had a chat and they told us what is behind our company and how we got here, to finally talk about Dinobros as a growing business reality.

Dinobros, the dawn of a new era

Many people ask us Why is the company called Dinobros, so let's start from here.

The fictionalized version could be: Galeotta was a gaffe by Al Bano, the story goes that a digital artist and a programmer rode the wave overnight and put online a videogame with a playful and ironic mood in which the 8-bit avatar of a fantastic Al Bano fights angry dinosaurs to the sound of sharp sounds, to the point of extinction.

The video game shows all the esteem and sympathy for Al Bano, so much so that Manolo Saviantoni The Oluk publicly thanks him in his post on IG to celebrate one year since the birth of the meme game.

“This video game is our signature, so much so that it has paved the way for other new games.” Manolo Saviantoni

Actually, To get to Dinobros the road was full of brainstorming, two important aspects had to emerge: pixels and the fact of having a relationship like real brothers. In the end, Dinobros won, with the aim of paying homage to the meme game that always came out before the creators and developers, in the press releases for the launch of the new games”From the creators of Al Bano vs Dinos...

Samuele and Manolo, the advergames and Dinobros.

The idea of starting a company together has matured over time, before the company there are them, Samuele Sciacca, a programmer and trainer, and Manolo Saviantoni, an art director and pixel-artist. Both freelance they met online, and they started producing the first advergames together, then the turning point.

“At a certain point, the first important customers arrived. We started taking jobs in which, in addition to the video game, a series of related communication activities were planned. In light of this, we closed the VAT number and threw ourselves into life as entrepreneurs, without distorting what we do best, video games.” Samuele Sciacca

Large customers and important projects also on issues of great importance such as the environment, safety at work, education and education, they are the springboard of our company, which is growing and is made up of people, humanity and sharing even hundreds of kilometers away.

Dinobros, the evolution that awaits us.

Our trademark is a dinosaur but we don't want to hear about extinction. Evolution and change are in our DNA.

Samuel has based his personal and professional evolution on change, he has made multipotential a value to bring to the company, to never stop and always aim for excellence.

“In the morning I was a dishwasher and in the afternoon I closed myself on the project just commissioned by an Italian multinational. After a few months I gained confidence and returned to Italy, to start again here.” Samuele Sciacca

Manolo changed his skin, from art director to pixel artist, marking his personal professional evolution, thanks to which he highlighted his creative and human potential.

“In pixel-art I have a self-taught background, the characters have evolved with me, I have created my own signature that can be found in the detail of my characters with very few pixels, it is the distinctive trait that I generally like the most about my works.” Manolo Saviantoni

“Maybe many times before our products, customers love us! It often happens that with great customers we have created human relationships of friendship even before working. A human relationship based on transparency. We often go against our interest to make the customer choose the best option, even if it's the cheapest for us.” Samuele Sciacca
