Professional Projects
I worked on and shipped 10 different games over the last 6 years on almost every platforms available such as PC (steam), consoles (Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony) and mobile (Android, iOS). I worked on these titles as a technical game designer but as we were a small team, had to put my hands on various aspect of the production. From game concept, prototyping, balancing, level design, narrative design, play tests and feedback supervision but also team management, QA and QA supervision, localization supervision and product management.
On all those project I used the same panel of tools, we develop all our games under Unity with a versioning software. All the production documents are made with the Google suite or the Microsoft Office suite and Photoshop for mock-ups meanwhile the producing aspect is made with Hack N Plan.

​I worked on a live patch to balance some sports in the game that were too rigid prior to Instant Sports Summer Games release. I mainly balanced the player controler, I added extra mobility through movespeed so it's less frustrating for the player in case he can't reach a ball, increased the motion sensibility to make it more family friendly, nerfed the exhaust mechanic because it restrained the player gameplay too much and balanced the whole AI.
