Meet The Team #5 – Fred

[p][/p][p]With Meet The Team, Draw Me A Pixel introduces you to the people behind its games. We promise, no one bites. At least not yet! [/p][h3]What is your job and can you describe your role within the team?[/h3][p]I'm Associate Producer and Communication Manager. On the one hand, I help the team stay organized and meet deadlines. On the other, I manage the studio's communication, whether it's the community on social networks or convincing someone at a convention that our game is great by talking loudly in their ear. And when I have a bit of free time, I also help Pascal and Léo move forward on game design. Yes, my days are very varied.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]What was your background, before joining Draw Me A Pixel?[/h3][p]Well, I've done a lot of things before: Welder, security guard, security guard trainer, journalist and then editor-in-chief for a French video game magazine called Canard PC. In the end, I spent most of my career in video games, since I worked for Canard PC for 14 years.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]What are the best and worst aspects of your job?[/h3][p]As Associate Producer, the answer is simple: it's a great feeling when everything's going well, and it's horrible when something goes wrong. As a Communication Manager, I of course love being in contact with people, and the worst thing that can happen to me is that I can't find my words, especially in front of someone. Well, I guess. It's never happened to me yet. And I hope I won't be around when it does.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Which chapter from There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is your favorite?[/h3][p]Without a doubt, chapter 2 with Sherlock and Watson brought back many fond memories of old point-and-click! And I loved the "behind-the-scenes" aspect when you explore the environment and discover a whole bunch of theatre-like panels.[/p][p] There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is sometimes like Zak & Max: Day of the Throttle[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]What are your favorite video games besides There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension?[/h3][p]I think I'm a well-rounded gamer, able to enjoy a wide variety of games, but if I have to pick out a few, then they'll definitely be the point-and-click games from the LucasArts period: The Secret of Monkey Island, Discworld, Sam & Max Hit The Road... I love telling stories and making people laugh, so these games were perfect for me. But if you like, I've got a list of my 250 favorite games. No? Are you sure? Even if I list them very quickly without catching my breath? Oh come on.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]How does it feel to finally be able to talk about Crushed In Time after all this time?[/h3][p]*sobs uncontrollably*[/p][p][/p][p]Don't forget to wishlist Crushed In Time to stop Fred from crying[/p]
