And greetings everyone!
Today, we are going to talk about a mythical and revolutionary French game, created by one man: Another World!
But before talking about Another World, let's start by talking about its creator, the brilliant Eric Chahi.
So, Eric discovered video games in arcades at the end of the 70's, as well as the general public computers of the time, thanks to a family friend at first, then at school. In 1983, after having tested the Oric 1 of the same family friend, he decided to break his piggy bank to buy one and spent his whole summer programming two games, FROG and CARNAVAL. Always on the advice of the friend ... well, Alain's friend, his name is Alain, he submits them to the Oric distributor, who, interested, offers him 500 francs or a printer and two controllers. You can imagine what he chose ... Anyway.
He then decide to stop his studies in the first year of high school to devote himself to the creation of video games full time, and after a few games written in solo on Oric and Amstrad, he was recruited by former Loriciel employees for the Chip company as a graphic designer. Two years and a few games later, he offers his CV to Paul Cuisset, from Delphine Software (we talked about it for the video on Croisière pour un Cadavre, go and have a look at it if you haven't seen it), who is looking for a graphic designer... and that's how he ends up as graphic designer and animator on the famous "Les Voyageurs du Temps".
As soon as his mission at Delphine Software is over, Eric Chahi decides to start a solo project: indeed, he wishes to experiment working in total autonomy, and thus launches the challenge of programming from A to Z his own game, which he will do within two years of intensive work.
After having proposed it, without success, to Virgin, he will return to see Delphine Software which will accept to be the editor of his game.
And right now, if you red this until the end, it might be a good idea to watch the video ^_^
