“I worked with Seb during our time together at Slightly Mad. It was a total pleasure working with Seb - his vast experience and knowledge around all areas of Production was a MASSIVE help to myself as well as the project - whether that was working to create/maintain project Roadmaps, effective tracking of tasks/issues within Jira, resource planning, build processes and tracking of multiple builds needed within a LIVE context, etc. As well as his knowledge on how to run a project correctly, his ability to keep calm and work though each issue/curveball thrown at us and come up with a solution was exceptional. Seb is an excellent team lead, a huge bonus for any team he works with, and I genuinely hope we get to work together in the future!!!”

Compulsion Loops & Dopamine in Games and Gamification
Sebastien Samson
What is Gamification really about?
When you talk about Gamification to people, one word that comes back a lot is “Rewards”. Well that’s not what Gamification (or Games for that matter) is about! Whaaaat? don’t get me wrong here, Rewards ARE important, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s really all about Dopamine! -
Flow and Dificulty Adjustment in Video Games
For those of you who played Jenova Chen's FlOw game, you may have noticed that you easily get sucked in this contemplative aquatic world, floating fluidly from one prey to another. This game is simple and deep at the same time. The level design of flOw is based on a "sausage pattern" (Room - Gate - Room - Gate ...) like many games before and you can find the same ingredients that we've seen everywhere in game designs such as Enemies, Power-Ups, Life, etc. But then, what makes flOw such a good…

Interactivité, arts et nouvelles technologies Essaie sur la notion d'oeuvre interactive
Avec l'effervescence des nouvelles technologies, tous les domaines sont touchés.

En effet, on parle de plus en plus d'interactivité et on l'applique à toutes les sauces. Mais la question se pose et à juste titre, mais qu'est-ce que l'interactivité ? Dans cet essai, nous tenterons de faire la lumière…
