Depuis maintenant 7 mois, j'ai quitté Mozilla (où je suis resté près de 9 ans) afin de poursuivre un rêve d'enfant : créer des jeux vidéo professionnellement. J'ai créé quelques jeux, en amateur, sur ces 10 dernières années, principalement en participant à des Jams — vous pouvez retrouver une liste de ces jeux sur ma page Projets. Mon arrivée au chômage était l'occasion idéale pour moi d'enfin me lancer dans cette aventure !

Voici une petite histoire du jeu que je suis en train de créer, de l'avancement de celui-ci et de ce que je cherche pour l'avenir.

Thank you everyone who played the game yesterday and gave me feedback! Today I was able to focus on making the game better, and that content was very helpful to me.

It's the final day of my Solo Game Jam Challenge, I'm tired, I dream of demons and villages and buildings, but I did make a game! It took me approximately 40 hours over 5 days. I had a great deal of pleasure working on this game, as, like I said in my introduction post, I've wanted to create a village builder for a while.

I hope you all liked losing yesterday? I sure enjoyed watching those demons bath in your blood. But I have to admit, I believe losing is vastly overrated. I for one prefer winning a lot more!

Thus, today I'm going to make this a game that you can WIN.

Starting on a new project is always a very exciting moment: it's full of discovery and of very satisfying moments. If you're like me, you start small, and each new brick you add is simple: you get a great sense of accomplishment seeing those new elements pop up and work together. It is a time of pleasure, a time far from the rage and anguish of impossible bugs, code refactors and algorithmic headaches.

But I'm not worried, I know I'm getting there!
