Games
My passion is designing games. All sorts of games. Here, you will find some of my own personal work as well as links to teams with whom I worked.
Upcoming projects
	Art of Crime (2011) Currently under development, *Art of Crime* is a point and click detective game where you must find leads on the events surrounding a woman's memory lost. To do so, you must study her drawings and step inside her artwork. (More)
Current Projects
	Rebirth (2011) Rebirth is an experimental game based around the themes of sacrifice, faith and rebellion. The idea came to me in 2007 and, after many unsuccessful iterations, the game was put on ice. However, a spark of inspiration came to me in early 2011 and gave me the motivation to wrap up the game. The goal of the design direction was to create an interactive poem: short, strong imagery and open to interpretation while still carrying a message. (More) (Freeware, Windows only)

	Cowtopia! (2010) DHG games' latest title, Cowtopia is a fun and addictive action-puzzler for the iPhone. I created all the art and co-designed the game. The game is much deeper than your every day iPhone game and is well worth the try! O fficial website (iPhone and iPod touch)

	Sunset Runner (2007) Created for Kokoromi's GAMMA 256 event in 2007, *Sunset Runner* is a five minute experience where you must help a man save his lover before he gets squished by a suspiciously long train. The game didn't make it to the event but did get a share of the spotlight when it was presented on Mr Net, a big tech 'n' games tv show here in Quebec. The video is in french, by the way.

	Rush Spiral Tower Defense (2005) *RSTD* is a WarCraft 3: the Frozen throne tower defense mod map. The goal of the map is to eliminate all enemies using the various attack towers at your disposition. The spiral design of the map makes placing early towers easy but later ones much harder. *RSTD* was created for TD players looking for a fast-paced map.

Other projects
	Motocross Challenge Originally planned for a 2006 GBA release, this motocross racing game was created by Montreal-based DHG games studio. I was the sole artist of the project as well as level designer and part-time designer. When the game got canceled and no publishers wanted to pick up the gold title, we decided to release the game's ROM on the net. The next year we started working on a new Nintendo DS version but failed to find funding. We then ported the game on the iPhone and it's now available in the AppStore! You can find more information on the game on these websites: DHG games official website Game Vortex The free hare Joystiq.com

	Studio Archcraft A fellow Montreal developer, creators of the Nintendo DS role-playing game Black Sigil. I worked with them on their first title as a pixel artist. I created a bunch of spites and various artworks, including the art for the introduction cinematic. I am collaborating with them as a designer to help them create their next projects. Check out the official website for all news and details about Black Sigil. Which is, by the way, available in most stores where you buy your DS games. Official website

	Bit-Blot Winner of the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at IGF 2007, Bit-Blot is the team behind the PC/Mac game Aquaria. I worked with them as a tester for the original release of the game in December 2007. Bit-Blot Aquaria

	DTI software The world's leader in in-flight entertainment software development. I was DTI's first official game designer and lead game designer. During my short time with them, about a year and a half, I have delivered over 20 different projects and designed about 10, ranging from license games to action games and gambling software. I had the chance to work with many big names of the game industry, like the Sims, Mickey Mouse or Pac-Man, as well as to create original titles for the studio. Official website
