I loved Anthony's workshop! I was part of the class last December and wrote one of my favourite short stories so far...

by the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and
far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain

I've worked on games such as Teamcrafter, Caravan SandWitch (lead), Asfalia: Panic at the Mansion, Rewind And Reclaim, and more TBA.

You're welcome to DM me, and sharing is really appreciated.

Thank you! Please have a picture of my cats (Juliette and Simba will be your coworkers as well) 😺

Suites aux annonces catastrophiques venant de M. Yves Guillemot (plan de réductions des coûts, projets tués, arrêt du télétravail, etc.), la section Solidaires Informatique appelle à un débrayage ce Jeudi 22 Janvier matin. Nous appelons les salarié-es d'Ubisoft Paris à 1/2 journée de grève, avec les revendications: • fin du plan de réduction des coûts, • maintien et extension des conditions du télétravail • des augmentations décentes pour l’année qui vient Ceci est une première réponse à l'absurdité des décisions managériale. D'autres mouvements de grève sont actuellement discutés. Il est hors de question de laisser un patron en roue libre démolir nos conditions de travail. Peut être faut il lui rappeler que ce sont ses salarié-es qui font les jeux.

Mighty Magical Sparrows Work in progress. More information and animation coming!

If any publisher happens upon this: I also have something you might be interested in! Small showcase here of an older build that still conveys vibes, tone and aesthetic, if not exact details. For those, please reach out if this catches your eye! camillecee.weebly.com/mighty-magic...

If you or anyone you know is looking for a tradigital 2d animator, I’d appreciate the chance. Looking for new mid-to-longer term projects mainly. Previews of some of my work here: camillecee.weebly.com

Reposts appreciated, with love, increasingly urgent anxiety and thanks!

Mes ami·e·s et moi devont notre survie à un panneau de paella tenu à bouts de bras qui nous a protégé pendant tout le truc, que de souvenirs.

Présentez vous via ce qui a failli vous tuer :

Bonjour, je suis la tempête du Pukkelpop de 2011, et plus spécifiquement un chapiteau qui s'effrondre.

(ce jour-là j'ai découvert mes skills de ninja en faisant des sauts au-dessus de tables et de bancs que je n'aurais jamais pu imaginer)

Faisons des jeux bof, des jeux cassés, des non-jeux, des jeux bizarres, des jeux pas fun, des jeux vulgaires...

Arretons de nous aliéner avec la first-hour-experience, avec n'être jamais ennuyeux, avec des gameplay loop, avec des montages de trailers et capsules Steam...

So, here's to another year. May this one be softer on us. Less grieving. More love. Taking the time to see friends, to write stories, to design and develop games. And thank you to everyone who contributed to my wonderful year. It wasn't that bad, eventually. Wishing you the best.

I've also discovered ADDON in France, and gave a talk there with Marie. I hope to see another edition of the festival, one day. And Game Camp! The place and time of the year where I can hangout with my gamedev friends.

I finally went to A.Maze! I've been dreaming of going there for years. Glad it could happen. The festival and talks were amazing (duh), even if I felt a little shy during it. I was impressed haha.

Picture of my workplace, my desk, with my three cats. Simba, the orange one, looking annoyed at the camera, while Gatsby, the grey one, and Juliette, the tortoiseshell one, are sitting on his pillow.

On the bright side of life, I adopted a kitten! Her name is Juliette. I love her. So are my two other cats, Simba and Gatsby (I only wish she would let me have my 8-hours of sleep during the night).

It was also the first year I saw my work being fed to an AI to write a game. Disappointing. Client blacklisted. Please don't do that.

But what can we really do, huh.

I wish I had more time to work on my own projects, but eh, I won't complain. I feel lucky considering the state of our industry.

2025 was still a good year working-wise, maybe one of the best. I got to work on 6 different games, give talks in France and Belgium, teach and mentor students, meet amazing colleagues and friends. Oh, we even got awards for Caravan SandWitch. (and our players' feedback ♥)

There are stories I need to write, games I need to design and develop. My own.

But you know what? Screw it. 2026 will be different (aren't we all saying that every time a year ends? there must be a reason).

This time, I will be living and working while listening to myself. I won't last another year if I burn myself again. And I still intent to live many years.

I remember losing my company, my relationship, and my mental/physical health when I took a break, years ago. The trauma prevented me for taking another break when I needed it, and I burnt out once more.

I've been grieving every day for almost 20 years now. When a tragedy happens, it never comes alone. At least, not in my family. You still have to function, tho.

Happy last day of 2025, y'all. We survived another year. Yay.

It's kinda dreading for me to read through everyone's recap. I mean, it's great! And I'm happy for you! But when it comes to looking at my own year…

I can only see a year of grieving. Again.

#artvsartist 2025!
It's been quite a ride, so here's a little retrospective ✨

2025 has been quite harsh for the video game industry, and despite some good releases, it's quite hard not to think about all the layoffs and studio closures we've been through.

‘everyone in gamedev is using AI’ the business dumdums are using it to generate decks and write bad copy. They think it’s good because they think their basic lore ideas make a good game. that’s it that’s who is using AI

You have to play it. Edgar - Bokbok in Boulzac helped me a lot back in the days when I was looking for Caravan SandWitch’s writing tone! It’s fun!!

just make smaller fucking games, dude
