Which implies a high level of investment but my motivation was clear and I felt ready to lead this fight. Especially since I had arrived at a stage in my life where I needed to achieve something."},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"#ffffff","color":"#000000"},"insert":"I took the time to take stock of my career. I spent fifteen years in the computer industry and made many games, software, short films, music but I was not satisfied because I felt that I did not do anything important to me. Faced with this failure, I had to turn a new page and thus, engage in the writing of my major work by bringing together all my skills. For this, I was aware that I had to get out of my comfort zone by opening up more and taking risks."},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"#ffffff","color":"#000000"},"insert":"I finally succeeded in my challenge by creating in my opinion an atypical and timeless work telling a singular story strewn with pitfalls.

I liked to take inspiration from simple concepts and take ownership of them by adding a personal touch. Then I also grew up playing Commodore 64 and Amiga, a period of my childhood that I have fond memories of. Some games have even managed to make me vibrate and transmit to me the taste of creation. And in the 90s with the democratization of computers and the arrival of development tools more and more accessible, I saw the opportunity to express my creativity through video games."},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"#ffffff","color":"#000000"},"insert":"I overcame many obstacles on my way but I never doubted my passion."},{"insert":"\n\n"},{"attributes":{"background":"#ffffff","color":"#000000"},"insert":"I am working for the future to develop stories in all these forms that are not only intended to entertain the public.
