Renaud Charpentier

I started creating games for my friends when I was a teenager, I absolutely loved this intellectual and creative challenge and I still do now that crafting games is both my way of life and my day (plus night) job. Over the years I have experienced many aspects of game creation, from setting the global creative vision, to player's feedback handling, through system design, implementation, coding, UI , controls tuning, rules balancing and AIs logic. I believe what we call video games today is still the early age of a medium which will become much more important, extending far beyond entertainment. Its interactive nature makes it unique among all other forms of human expression. It is still an uncharted territory, we always need new theories, new tools, new ways of doing and thinking. That’s what is fascinating on this frontier!
