|
|
| What is your occupation (day job) if you are not employed to program with a click product? |
In my real job, I am an analyst programmer for the web and in charge of information systems in an engineering school. It's nice but not very creative. So I can't wait to get home and use MMF after work! |
|
|
| What is your current computer setup, number of computers, hardware and software used? |
I have 2 computers. of my own a Vaio netbook W11 and a powerful desktop with a E8400 Processor and GForce 9800GTX with 4 GB of RAM. Also have a work computer a Pentium 4, 3.20GHz, Quadro FX 500 with 2 GB of RAM |

|
| How many years of experience do you have in programming and using a click product? |
I started with TGF when my brother had bought. I was then 7 years old. I do countless little games, but my first completed creation i made when I was 12 years old. It's called The Manor. http://pagesperso-orange.fr/activeplanet/am12man.htm |

| What is your favorite Video Game Title and why? |
I do not really have favorite genre. I love many things. But among those who impressed me over the years are, "Duke Nukem 3D" on PC, "Quake" 3 PC, The series "Call of Duty", "Metroid Prime" for GameCube, "Starfighter" on Dreamcast, "The Sonic Adventure" on Dreamcast and "Phantasy Star Online" on Dreamcast |

| What current project(s) are you working on? |
I am currently working on several projects. I currently work on several projects:
- The chooffies http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?id=1224
A puzzle / reflection cartoon
- Space Wars http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?id=1659
A RTS very difficult to do because all the functions of conventional RTS will present
-A new version of Luor allowing scores online, some additional game modes and a new menu easier to use.
-And of course Sky Invader http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?id=1775
A tactical shooter which allows us to destroy humanity

|
| What inspired you to start your current project? |
I have always enjoyed seeing beautiful landscapes and surroundings getting destroyed by Alien invaders, but what really inspired me to create Sky Invader was seeing the shield effect in Spielberg's Version of War of the Worlds when the army attempted to attack the tripods in that one scene and the cool shield effect when the weapons fire hit it. |

What direction you would like to see the Clickteam product(s) go? |
I would like Clickteam continuous momentum of HWA games. It would be nice to have an export XNA and DirectX engine still further (position floating point shader more features etc.) and the possibility of particle generation in greater numbers. |
|
|
| If you could add feature to MMF with the waving of your magic feature wand, what would it be? |
The Irrlicht extensions of course! ! ! |
