About me
Hello!​
​
I am Jean Nicolas, 25yold.
​
I am curious about all sort of things, which led me on an unconventional school carreer.
Now making games and being very happy about it!
Working skills and interests
Level design
​
Three of my projects offered me the opportunity to work on level design.
Truly it is a lot of fun, giving life to the design being a very rewarding feeling! My main experiences are on platformers, but I am looking forward to any new experiences, especially on a racing game!
The Level design is a field I am considering to specialize in, at the moment.

Multiplayer​
​
I must also admit, I have a knack for multiplayer games. There is a reason why so many of my works include several players. What brought me to games is their ability to gather people around a common activity. The game is the support for interacting together, a starting point for social fun, sometimes even a mere excuse to meet with friends!
The activity itself can drive the mood of the group and I like to explore what kind of emotions we could trigger through games.

System design
​
To me, part of the magic of Game Design lies in its ability to create systems from scratch. Each new game is a new world with its own set of rules and components interacting together. There is much elegance in puzzle games and procedural generation in my own opinion.
I enjoy creating game mechanics that are very much interconnected and make sense all together!
