About me

To learn more about me, we have to go back in 2011 when I started a YouTube channel. Thanks to my comprehensive walkthrough of Dark Souls and other games, I slowly made a name for myself and this even got me a job as an editor for Gamekult, from 2014 to 2018. Since then, I went back to being self employed and I now spend my time between the channel, which have more than 200 000 followers, I also wrote 4 books (so far!), I teach video game history in two schools and finally, the game design consulting gigs.
Between the mock reviews, audits and evaluation, I worked with a few dozen projects to date, from small indies to AAA games including the multiple awards winner Clair Obscur.

What I do

Mock review

Beside playtest, getting outside feedback is crucial during all steps of your production. I offer to play and write a professional critique of your games, highlighting its flaws and strenghts alike and also providing an estimation of your Metacritic score. I’m fluent in all genre of games, with the only exception being competitive multiplayers ones.

Game evaluation

From the prototype to your release candidate, I can support your team by giving you an in depth review of your games, from the basics like 3C or a combat system to more complexe aspects: a difficulty curve, the pacing of the game and I can also help you design systems and mechanics. My goal is to understand your vision and provide insightful tips and feedback to help you make the best game possible, taking into account your deadline and budgetary constraints

Marketing strategy

As more and more games get released every year, the discovery aspect of the marketing has become more and more complex. Getting to know your audience, how to reach them is a key step for your game from its inception to release. As a consultant, I can also provide an audit of your marketing strategy, steam page and comparison with your main competitors. Finally, I can also provide insights on how to reach and communicate with the media and influencers alike.

Some of my work

Why me?

Professional reviews

As a YouTuber and former journalist, I have over 15 years of experience which means I can write insightful reviews, as you would read from any other professional on the field.

A custom service

Since 2018, I worked with a few dozen studios with unique situations and contexts. My goal is always to understand your vision for your game and help you realize it, taking into account your deadline and budget.

Transferable skills

Having an usual career like mine is a real strenght, working as a content creator, an editor, a teacher and even author gives me both an holistic approach to your projects as well as a solid attention to details
