Antonela Pounder

New followers... Hello! 👋 I'm Antonela, Director of Digital Content and Engagement at 505 Games. Worked on a lot of games, inc DEATH STRANDING, Control, Assetto Corsa, No Man's Sky, Hellblade, Watch_Dogs, Just Dance, ABZU and many more! Huge F1 fan, love photography, travel and games of course!

On this day 7 years ago, back in 2019, we announced that 505 would publish the PC edition of DEATH STRANDING. Can't believe that means 7 years of managing this incredible community, who I adore. Thank you @kojipro2015.bsky.social for the trust over the years. ❤️🥹❤️ Still so grateful!

To our friends at KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, thank you for this incredible gift celebrating our 20th Anniversary. We’re so grateful for your friendship and support over the years. 🙏 Ludens will have a special place in our office for everyone to enjoy! Keep on keeping on! #20Yearsof505

SCREAMING CRYING OMG 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

So yeah, @romacarmella.bsky.social continues to be the best... 🥰🥺♥️ She's done 25 of my tattoos so far and this is the latest addition from over the weekend. He makes me so happy 😭😭😭 #Pokemon

Happy Pokémon Day to all those who celebrate 🥳🎉🎊 #Pokemon30 #PokemonDay2026

As some of you may know, I'm really into my travel & street photography. ♥️✈️ 📸 instagram.com/AnimatedAnt Trying to do a better job at uploading my snaps from my adventures on IG. If this interests you, I'd really appreciate a follow 🙏

I came across a thread on Reddit last night about the DEATH STRANDING community and what makes it so special. What I read afterward completely took me by surprise and left me very emotional. I don’t know who this Reddit user is, but I am truly overwhelmed by your kindness. 😭♥️😭

Happy Community Manager Appreciation Day to all the incredibly inspiring social media and community folk I know. Keep smashing it! ❤️ You’re amazing and make a huge difference in our industry.

I got to tattoo some really cool stuff this year 🥹🩷

Today marks my 10 year anniversary at 505 Games! 😱 It’s hard to believe it's been a decade. Super grateful for the opportunities, experiences, and people I’ve shared this journey with. To everyone I work with and the communities I manage, I appreciate you all so much! ♥️

I really haven't been very active on here this year. I'm sorry! ♥️ Truth is I've had a big year filled with lots of travel, work, work travel and we bought our house. (Which means lots of DIY!) Definitely on IG more atm too. Feel free to follow there (AnimatedAnt) 📸

Had a very cool experience this evening!! Thank you so much @animatedant.bsky.social for the invite 🩷

Antonela set such a high bar for community work throughout her time at 505, and has influenced others (including me) being able to break into and succeed in games. I actually wrote up my experience recently (so, its good timing). playyour.games/taking-control/

10 years ago, I was approached regarding a job that ultimately, changed my life. Little did I know this was the start of what’s now been almost a decade 505 Games, something I never imagined happening! ❤️🥺 Crazy how one small message can change everything! I'm so grateful 🎮

Went to Turin, Italy, on Friday. First flight out, last flight back. Love an extreme day trip! 🇮🇹📸✈️

Finished #DeathStranding2 last night. It's genuinely one of the most incredible games I've ever played. 😭 Some of the themes hit me quite hard on a personal level. Pretty speechless, to be honest. 🥺♥️ Thank you for this incredible experience @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp

I am truly blown away by this beautiful gift from the very talented @krystineart.bsky.social ♥️🥺 I didn't ask for this painting, Krystine did it out of pure kindness alone. You're a very special human being, and I will treasure this forever. You know how much this spot in the world means to me...

Got 2 new tattoos today! Thank you @romacarmella.bsky.social 😭❤️✈️🦆

Ditto monstera earrings FTW 🌿🪴🤩❤️

No #Gamescom for me this year but I hope everyone attending has the best time!!!

Last month was very busy for a lot of reasons! One of those reasons is this... After 5 years of working from my bedroom, I can finally work from a separate space at the end of our garden. And of course, it's travel themed. I adore this room so much! 😭💕✈️📸🎮

I've not posted on here in a month. Omg life has been so busy, I've not had time to stop!! 💕 Hope you're all well!

13 years ago today, I landed my first full-time role in the games industry. I'd just finished university and ended up graduating the day after I started. The beginning of a wild adventure! I never take any of this for granted ❤️

What a wonderful evening with incredible company ❤️😊🎮 HUGE congrats to the team at KJP on DS2! Also, thank you, @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp for always being so kind and lovely to chat to!
