A new member in the Team!

Fri Oct 12, 2007 1:34 pm

Dear Friends,

I would like to introduce you to a new member of the AGEod team.

Florent Quesnel (Nickname: Hok) has just joined us.

Florent is a game designer. He is currently helping the team with Napoleon's campaigns. Later, he will take in charge the BoA Gold projet and several other small (but secret) AGEod projects.

AGEod has developed the AGE engine, a powerfull game engine that simulate historical conflicts at operational level. The AGE engine is currently developed under 3 versions (Birth of America, American Civil War and Vainglory of Nations) according to the period and the type of gameplay the game designer wants to offer. Using this modulatory approach, AGEod can reduce the cost and time needed to develop a new game. This revolutionnary engine has been conceived and is still being developed by Philippe Malacher (Pocus) and Philippe Thibaut (PhilThib).

However, each game needs loads of researches (maps, orders of battle, scenarios, events, etc). For each game, we gather a a team of passionates who will work with us. The bulk of this research work relied on Philippe Thibaut. This bottle neck was reducing the pace at which we could develop new games.

The arrival of Florent will give more time to Philippe Thibaut to work with Philippe Malacher on new modules for the developement of the AGE engine (diplomacy, battle module, etc.) and will allow AGEod to propose you in 2008 some new conflicts using the BoA or AACW versions of the engine.

Welcome aboard Florent!!!

OMG ! :coeurs:

Thanks for your hearty welcome :D

For those who want to know how I've aboard :

I know PHilThib Since 12 years, we live in the same town and we play together.
I helped him to test Europa Universalis (first and second extension) and "La grand guerre" (WW1 boardgame)
I was again here for Pax Romana project, I worked with Antik Games team during one year.
Then i worked as project manager for a consulting firm during 6 years (I've a master degree in information systems management)

At last, Philthib tell me he was looking for a game designer to assist him and lead some projects ... I've boarded on "HMS Ageod" since 1 month :niark:

I'm a gamer since 20 years : Boardgames, Roleplaying, video games (I began on Spectrum console and Amstrad Computers ).
Actually i play to Napoléon's Campains , BoA (not yet BoA Gold :sourcil: ) and .... World of Warcraft ( :p leure: i'm MMO addict)

PS : Please excuse my poor command of English :innocent:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
En français maintenant :siffle:

merci pour votre accueil chaleureux, pour ceux qui ont envie de savoir comment je suis arrivé là :

Je connais Philthib depuis 12 ans, on s'est rencontrés car nous étions 2 joueurs dans la même ville et que j'avais découvert Europa Universalis (et ô joie du hasard son créateur habitait à côté de chez moi) ... il n'en fallait pas plus pour le rencontrer

De parties endiablées en soirées à imaginer la suite, j'ai aidé aux tests des extension 1 et 2 de Europa puis de "La Grande Guerre" son jeu sur la 1ère guerre mondiale.
Est venu l'époque de Antik Games et du projet Pax Romana dans lequel j'ai pris part moi aussi pour le laisser 1 an plus tard et aller apprendre d'autres choses puisque j'ai rejoins un cabinet conseil en tant que chef de projet (j'ai un master de management des systèmes d'information et organisation).
Je suis toujours resté en contact avec PhilThib, j'ai suivi les projets Grandes Invasions puis BoA et ACW
Et puis est venu le temps pour Age-studio de rechercher un adjoint à Philthib, le but étant de pouvoir fournir plus de contenu à la communauté et lui permettre de passer plus de temps sur le futur moteur de développement des jeux : il ne lui aura pas fallu bien longtemps pour me convaincre de le rejoindre :innocent:

Je suis un joueur depuis 20ans, que cela soit sur plateau ou en jeu de rôle et surtout de jeu vidéo, j'ai un souvenir ému de mon Amstrad CPC464 :p apy: .
Actuellement je joue essentiellement aux campagnes de Napoléon (béta test oblige), BoA pour bien préparer l'extension et enfin à World of Warcraft .... (oui je sais je me soigne mais je suis accro aux MMO :tournepas )

Il y a souvent confusion entre AGEOD et AGE-studio par contre, sans même parler des SEP de chaque jeu :) , donc la page wiki vaut ce qu'elle vaut.
