I hate to say it... but I think I can find LLM (or AI like Chat GPT and Gemini) kind of useful as a tool.

Having a companion that helps you sift through documentation and references for code is proving quite helpful for me.

But it shall NEVER be a replacement, and should be used as a TOOL

Most recent example is asking for some guidance on how to avoid screen burn-in with a dashboard screen for a server rack.

I knew what I was looking for (shift the screen around) but all my search online lead to passive agressive forums or to specific solutions that don't match my need

Yet...

Tomorrow is my last day at Ninja Theory 😞

It was a wild experience working with such a talented team, and while because of the nature of the industry, it's hard for me to go into details of what I've been doing, but I am looking forward to see you and players experience some of my work in the future.

It also marks my last month in the UK for now, as I am returning to France to be closer to family for a bit, take the time to explore and assess all of the experiences I gathered in these last few years to then look forward to new opportunities!

Opportunities like a job in Europe, Remote or Hybrid, around Gameplay Design in medium sized companies, and if they're looking for 3C specialists or general action and gameplay design, or maybe explore some game jams or indie ventures in releasing small projects I've been cooking or trying to cook for quite a while 🤔

For once, I am not pre-planning every move I'm making to let my self breathe and really embrace a new opportunity ✨

2024 has been a complex year in video games.

A lot of my peers have lost their jobs in the industry. Their faith in it, their passion for it, and let's be frank... I feel like I'm about to join them unless something changes. Both from me, but also from the industry, and who I work with.

I've been diagnosed with ADHD, in an industry that doesn't want to structure itself to collaborate.

And I just want to make video games.

Mesmerize players in interactive experiences that are simple, deep and meaningful. Steer away from reruns that most companies hammer into an overcrowded market.

So, in 2025, I just want to make a game. Something that has a piece of me in it, something that some will love, others will hate, most will forget, but it will be out.

So, wish me luck for that, and to you all, a quick reminder to unionize and take care of yourself and each other.

Bonne année ✨

I have the widest urge of wanting to make a game.

I'm supposed to be working in a game studio and it being my job on the daily... Well... Actually at the moment it doesn't feel like it.

I work in the game industry.
Yet, I don't think I'm making video games right now.
So I want to make one now.

Hey #TTRPG nerds and #DiceGoblins
I'm getting rid of a few set of premium dice in brand new condition since I basically don't use them.

HMU!

Change of scenery for tomorrow, as I am on my way to Angoulême to see how the #ENJMIN Master 2 students are doing with their projects ✨

My plan:
- Be in awe about what they create
- Give feedback
- And probably learn a lot while there

See you around 😊

Ce qui se passe à Dontnod est une HONTE, mais peu surprenant.

Ces problèmes de gestion remontent a très loin même a l'époque de ma présence dans l'entreprise.

Leur volonté de croissance infinie va maintenant causer la détresse de centaines d'employés.

Cette industrie est un enfer...
