I guess I should begin!
I'm Romane Rakotovao. You can call me Romane!
Redmarian16, diamanrouge, romanounchka...
I'm a game designer! Right now I work for Fugue Interactive, and on this project at the TUT.
I love metroidvanias! It might be because I'm an explorer type! I find the gameloop very well construct : exploration, progress, skill, new area, exploration...
My favortie game ever is thatgamecompagny's Journey. But I like my fair share of The Sims, Zeldas and fighting games!
As before the indiepocalypse, 90% of games where combat-based mechanic games, and 9% were sport competition games, I always been longing for another type of experience. One that is about connection.
When I was a kid, I was crazy of Blizzard! I don't have a favorite developer right now, but I am sure impressed by the work of DONTNOD, thatgamecompagny, Jason Rohrer, and Nintendo!
I'm found of roleplaying forums! French ones, as this is my native language! Writing is sure fun, but it's even more when worldbuilding with other people!
I sure like to talk to people, but the older I get, the more timid I become... Strange thing!
I think emotional awareness would make everyone more at ease in everyday life. Unfortunatly, I never been that good at recognizing my own emotions, let alone identify the ones people have! I hope to be able to improve on this day by day!
