Bio
Nicolas Grevet
I had the occasion to work with Marc on a great number of video-game related projects during the 00's, either as a simple advisor or as a part-time co-worker. As far as I can remember, Marc has always strived to achieve perfection, even when he didn't knew how to do things, he was the first to ask how things work in order to do it himself later-on and improve his skills. On our last project together, which was the development of a third-party downloadable content (DLC) for a critically acclaimed american video-game, he was a very valuable co-worker. He always found something to improve and how to improve it and would brainstorm for hours until we reached a consensus on a decision. When I left the project, he took over my position as a lead and delivered the next installment as flawlessly as it could get. So all in all, a very talented and motivated element. I would recommend him for any position in the gaming industry.

Marc is a very enthusiastic level designer who know's the balance in teamplay design, and how to bring an environment to life through playability. His attention to detail in his maps brings great focus to unique landmarks, color, and scalability among the surroundings. Marc has been a great designer to work with, and i'm sure any company recieving his application would be proud to know they've got a talented level designer coming on board! :)
