The person behind the pixels.
Developer, curious mind, and the person behind Flynn Of Hearts.
Curiosity is the starting point.
I'm Daniel Ferriani de Chico. Online, you can call me Flynn. I like making things that people can use, play, and get curious about — and understanding the computers that make them possible.
It started with a world I wanted to enter.
Bendy and the Ink Machine was the first game that truly captured my attention. I discovered it through TexHS, whose videos also inspired my interest in computing and my decision to pursue the field. That curiosity eventually grew into a desire to make games of my own.
From finding refuge to creating it.
In difficult moments, games gave me a little room to breathe: another story, another world, another way of being. What draws me to creating them now is the possibility of giving someone else that comfort, a smile, or a memory they want to keep. Financial success isn't the center of that motivation. The experiences I can offer people are.
Curiosity beyond the screen.
I also enjoy useful software, systems programming, automation, and learning how hardware works. I intend to study Computer Engineering and keep exploring the connection between code and physical systems. This is a learning journey, with plenty still ahead.
The Origin of Flynn
“Flynn” comes from Shawn Flynn, a character in the world of Bendy and the Ink Machine. My favorite character is Norman Polk, the Projectionist. That interest in projectors, optical mechanisms, and analog technology helped shape the original mechanical-eye symbol you see here.
“Of Hearts” refers to the hearts suit in playing cards and connects to Alice in Borderland. Its hearts games explore trust, human behavior, emotional pressure, and psychological endurance. That connection to mental resilience gives the name a personal meaning.
Together, Flynn Of Hearts brings two influences on my imagination into one identity.
