Joey Ziolkowski

Joey Ziolkowski (born April 6, 1998) is an American Polish video game designer, best known for his role as the project lead of the Disney-inspired massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Toontown Rewritten.
Career
Many of Joey Ziolkowski's projects revolve around online gaming, specifically Disney's Toontown Online, which Joey held a soft spot for. One of his original projects, starting in 2011, consisted of founding a social network for players to interact with ease without the harm of sharing personal information. The project continued until Disney announced the closure of Toontown Online on August 20, 2013, which led him to help found the Toontown Rewritten project along with several others in hopes of lengthening the game's lifespan. Toontown Rewritten has since received high attention from the media, attracting major publications such as Bloomberg News as well as former Disney employees like Jesse Schell. Schell is reportedly "rooting for Ziolkowski and his crew."
In addition to his game projects, Joey also served as an animator and texture artist using Valve's Filmmaking Tool, the most notable of which being his part in Zachariah Scott's Turret Anthem which was featured on news outlets along the lines of Polygon, Kotaku, and NBC News.
