Forgot to do one for the English crowd: I'm officially looking for a new job 👀

Can start as soon as next month, preferably full time and in video games, but I'm open to discuss other options / fields as long as I don't have to relocate.

If you have leads or need more info, feel free to PM me o/

Allez, pour cette rentrée, je cherche un nouveau taf 👀

Dispo à partir d'octobre, plutôt sur Paris et dans le jeu vidéo, mais je reste ouvert au mode hybride / à distance et à d'autres secteurs !

Si vous avez des pistes ou besoin de plus d'infos, on peut en causer en privé / de visu avec plaisir o/

Première table ronde de la journée à la Game Conf d'Angougou avec une discussion sur les moteurs de jeu.

Gros lobbying pour Godot mais surtout pour l'expérimentation autour des outils afin d'éviter de rester captif d'une seule solution technique, pas toujours adaptée aux besoins des divers projets.

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

This week, our team made a tough decision: we decided to delay Mina the Hollower. The entire crew has been working tirelessly day and night to finish development for release on Oct 31st, but we’re just not quite there yet.

Les premières parties ont été un peu compliquées car l'UI/UX n'est pas toujours claire et il faut pas mal grinder les jetons (ou avoir la grosse chatte à Dédé) avant de pouvoir encaisser les coups de certains monstres mais j'y retournerai volontiers pour le jeu complet.

Capture d'écran sur laquelle on peut lire : "DEMO OVER ! Merci d'avoir joué à Slots & Daggers (youhou). Tu es une légende !"

If I got it right: when a unit uses a job-related skill, other units on the battlefield get a small number of points related to that job as well. This makes it easier to have more units able to use basic yet vital actions like using potions without being a Chemist, for example.

The people behind it are also super nice, they previously worked on a beautiful but tough metroidvania called Souldiers.

Si ce n'est pas le symbole d'un marketing devenu fou, je pense être tombé sur le lieu parfait pour la prochaine soirée Game Camp de @sandfallgames.bsky.social ?

Une photo verticale d'un bâtiment lillois dont la façade arbore un panneau "LE DOME 33", écrit avec une typo art déco qui rappelle un gros carton du jeu de rôle français.

One of the things that has me curious given the rush to cancel Game Pass is about how significant the attrition rate was expected internally at MS.

Any time you change a service offering or increase pricing, there is an expectation you'll price out some of your customers.

[France] Crowdfunding campaign for "DEMO", a live-action feature directed by my friend @alexpilot.bsky.social (Nolife TV).
The story takes place in 1990, it's about the love and struggles of creating video games in France at the era of Atari/Amiga & demoscenes.

Bon ben... voilà 🙂‍↕️
J'avais oublié que le jeu était aussi généreux et bourré de secrets qui me paraissent impossible à dénicher sans guide ? Pas impossible que j'attaque le scénario d'Hector avant de basculer sur la version retapée de FF Tactics.

I used to work for a company called GameTap, we were probably the first "Netflix for games," started around 2006. It didn't go well. I used to think the idea was ahead of its time, and maybe it was, but I also think times have changed and this no longer makes sense. 🧵
