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
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.

Past projects
 

Sunset Runner
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
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. Since then, we have disbanded and went our separate ways. But who knows! MXC could pop back soon! You can find more information on the game on these websites:

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.

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.

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.
