~ from Paris ~ Working on Dear ImGui, a technical UI middleware for game developers. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui Used by many games and apps. Nominated: CEDEC 2019 Engineering Awards https://cedec.cesa.or.jp/2019/event/awards/eng "imgui revolutionised our game development, i cannot imagine making tools without it. from tiny test projects to a large console game, it's utterly dependable and delightful to use. its simple & deep, a rare combination." -Alex Evans (Media Molecule) "Dear ImGui is stunning. I don't know how I lasted so long without ever knowing about this. I've removed all my old debugging GUI code and replaced it with this." -Ron Gilbert (Terrible Toybox) "Imgui is a small, well written immediate mode GUI that allowed me to build and very quickly iterate on my gpuvis tool features. Its portability also allowed me to easily get it running on Mac, Windows, and Linux. I really enjoy working with Omar and sincerely hope I never have to work with large bloated UI toolkits ever again. Love Imgui!" -Michael Sartain (Valve Software) "Dear ImGui packing so much power into such a straightforward interface makes me wonder why every other GUI package is so hard to use. Dear ImGui makes writing clean UI look easy. [...] The least annoying middleware I’ve ever used!" -Elan Ruskin (Insomniac Games) "Dear ImGui is amazing. It's pretty much the only sizable library written by someone else that I've ever enjoyed using." -Shawn McGrath (RAD Game Tools) |

~ from London ~ Dear ImGui (all platforms) ImGui is a bloat-free graphical user interface library for C++ aimed at very easily creating debug and content-creation tools for games. It outputs vertex buffers that you can render in your 3D-pipeline enabled application. It is portable, renderer agnostic and carries minimal amount of dependencies. It is based on an "immediate" graphical user interface paradigm which allows you to build simple user interfaces with ease. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui Patreon https://www.patreon.com/imgui |

"The purest gaming experience we've had for a long while. (...) It's beautiful, it's elegant, it's clever - if you don't like this game, you're dead inside. (...) Our favourite DS game of the year." - Nintendo Official magazine / Review [Link] "Soul Bubbles has a compulsive quality to it – no doubt exacerbated by its gorgeous aesthetic design and beautiful ambient score. (…) Mekensleep may well have hit upon the DS’s very own answer to LocoRoco." - Edge magazine / Preview "Soul Bubbles is perfect for the DS and has a great sense of style, humour and accessibility for all gamers. This could definitely be a cult hit. (…) gorgeous graphics and a definite ‘aww’ factor." - Gamesmaster magazine / Preview "Impressive (...) This is a great idea done very well – the controls are well-realised, the puzzles fiendish and the whole greatly entertaining to play (...) This looks very good for the DS, with greatly entertaining bubble physics and a lovely, earthy colour palette" - IGN UK / Review [Link] "The level design and general polish is up there with Nintendo’s own products. (…) The art style is highly seductive. (…) Bitter experience often stops us from making early recommendations when it comes to third-party DS games, but with Soul Bubbles we have no hesitation" - Games TM / Preview "Look incredible, it has a personality (...) It even has physics that defy what we’ve come to expect from Nintendo’s handheld" - nRevolution magazine / Review: 9/10 |

~ from the living room ~ MEKA Sega 8-bit emulator and debugging/hacking suite. https://www.smspower.org/meka In spite of its old age and now clunky technology, MEKA is probably the most exhaustive Sega 8-bit emulator in term of coverage of obscure games, peripherals, as well as featuring a suite of debugging and reverse engineering tools. It is still maintained for those purpose but doesn't has much use anymore for the average player. MEKA was mostly popular in the years 1999-2001, partly along with the emulation boom and my dumping work on the SMS Power! website, partly because it was one of the earliest emulator to provide a full-fledged cared-for user experience in addition to exhaustive emulation accuracy. |

2000
~ from Paris ~ Evil Twin (Dreamcast, PS2, PC) In Utero I did 8 months worth of cumulated internship at In Utero starting from 1999 (barely legal). They had passed a job advert in a magazine and because I worked with said magazine I contacted In Utero weeks before the ad publication. They probably thought I was the only applicant! I did variety of coding stuff there, cinematic authoring tools, sound integration tools, localization, scene merging tools, toying with character controls early on (before they ditched visual editing in favor of code, regaining some sanity), etc. I also designed and programmed 4 mini-games to run on the Sega Visual Memory Unit, the fancy memory card with a screen that beeped everytime you booted your Dreamcast (Read more). |
