THEAFJV (French video game agency) posted on his Youtube channel a recorded conference for the Evry Games City event, organized by Indie Beard Communication. For 1h20, the speakers - pioneers of French video games - retrace their journeys and tell us about the technical constraints which have in turn, for 40 years, shaped programmers, computer graphics and game designers.
For those who, like me, knew the time when we “programmed pixel animations”, without really tools other than a text editor, this great moment of nostalgia does not make us any younger, and listening to Laurent Cluzel speak, Douglas Alves, and Emmanuel Forsans make our eyes shine. And for the youngest, the passage on the arrival and the use of middleware in the development of current video games is to be known at the fingertips.
