Deniz Cetinalp

I’m Deniz Cetinalp — lead developer, cofounder of Twenty Ninety Creative, and someone who traded a stable, well-paying job at IBM to chase a childhood dream.

Alongside my sister and cofounder Melisa, we grew up in 90s Toronto playing Nintendo games, laughing until our cheeks hurt, and promising each other that one day we’d make our own games.

That “one day” is now.

We’re building fun-first, high-quality games that spark joy and help people feel like kids again. In 2024, we relocated to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to contribute to the Kingdom’s vision of becoming a global gaming powerhouse.

If you’ve ever dreamed of making games, starting fresh, or chasing something that scares you just enough to feel alive — welcome to the adventure.
