« Play sperm » Now that’s a 2 word hook that’s efficient. Probably soon in my kickass hooks selection!

C’est un peu potache, mais l’accroche « Jouez un spermatozoïde » est juste énorme ! C’est unique et ça donne envie de jouer tout de suite! Et le jeu a l’air très beau pour ne rien gâcher

What's a perfect movie that never got a sequel?

Starship troopers got no REAL sequel. 2 and 3 are insults to Verhoeven’s work.

Dear BLANK Thanks for reaching out to us - we are excited that you are already thinking about how to enter the game industry. At the present time, we are not going to move forward with your application. We do not offer entry-level positions. 
 
There are many paths to the company, and we don't provide prescriptive advice about getting hired here. We look for the people who are at the top of their craft - from art to software development - and have the skills required to make substantial independent contributions to our games and services. This is why all of the positions we list on the web require a substantial amount of previous experience. 
We haven't noticed a correlation between study at a particular university and the chance of success. As such, we don't prefer one school over any other. Instead, we believe dedication, experience, and customer focus are what make good hires. 
Most of the people who work at Valve have seven to ten years of professional experience in these areas, and many people have even longer periods in the industry. There are lots of ways to get to that level of experience; some people have degrees in those disciplines, some people have degrees in other things, and a few people don't have degrees at all! They're all world-class experts in their field, great communicators, and great at thinking about what customers want and how to best provide it. Those things are intangible, aren't taught in schools, and are what differentiate typical candidates from special ones. 
Basically, our advice is for you to follow your passion and spend the time perfecting your craft. The most important thing is for you to just begin creating games, whether on paper or on the computer. What is crucial is the "doing" and "creating." 
We hope this helps! Sincerely, Valve Recruiting

Hier soir c’était notre soirée fromage à manettes, avec un #playtest ponctué d’une délicieuse #raclette ! C’est tous les deux mois, la prochaine sera au printemps.

Question : Raclette en avril/mai ça se tente ou on fait plutôt un #barbecue ?

La religion catholique : aime ton prochain, donne aux pauvres, pardonne etc

Les gens de droite : les gens ont trop d'aides, pays d'assistés, généralement catholiques

Les gens de gauche (blancs) : pour les aides et l'assistance sociale, généralement athées/agnostiques

Me : Ce monde n'a aucun sens.

public cible : comment le trouver ? - Valentin Thomas Trouver son public cible, mission impossible ? Ici je vous donne des pistes pour trouver vos premiers fans.

Le jeu vidéo est-il une forme d'art ? J'en suis convaincu. Mais forme artistique ou pas, le jeu vidéo est malheureusement, comme pas mal de choses aujourd’hui, aussi un business. Et ça, c’est indiscutable.

Quelques billes dans cet article pour trouver son public ! #indiedev #gamedev #marketing
