Ander Alzola Angulo



Ander Alzola Angulo is a Spanish game designer and former programmer at MercurySteam. He worked there from June 2015-July 2017 on Metroid: Samus Returns. Angulo took full charge of the game's user interface and user experience, including the menu and loading screen transitions, in-game user customization support (such as the Minimap and amiibo menu), integration of Eastern region fonts. Additionally, he coded the game's camera, creating a boundary system that would benefit concealment of secret items and passages.

Angulo, a graduate of the DigiPen Institute of Technology, played Metroid: Zero Mission when it was released, but had no other experience with Metroid until he was hired to work on Samus Returns.

Since leaving MercurySteam, Angulo has programmed a virtual reality flight training simulator for Airbus BizLabs.
