Yasmina Fadel
Maximalist
Fresh from launching Maximalist, Yasmina is the co-director of an emerging indie games and XR co-development company based in York.
Before Maximalist, Yasmina was a Producer at Fruity Systems, working on story-rich VR games, including the award-winning Meta Quest title, Space Salvage.
Like many others in the games industry, Yasmina was affected by the waves of redundancies that have swept the sector since 2024. Recognizing this as an opportunity for change Yasmina, along with two former colleagues from Fruity Systems, founded Maximalist Ltd to help drive that change and explore what it takes to create sustainable jobs in the industry.
By sharing her story, she hopes to reinforce the passion and fervor not only for making games but also for contributing to a supportive game development community.
