Jean-Michel Vilain's Blog

Been software engineer in the IT but switched quickly to the game industry. Occupied a designer's position on RUSE for 3 years and half. At that point I was extremely happy with such a creative job but the story repeats itself for I seem to always need more freedom and creative stuffs to do.
Thus I founded Abrakam with some friends, an indie game studio which tries not to starve by doing web and graphics design. I spend most of my time on the indie game project, design and code, that's all I want!
