Bio
Vincent Kara
During my scholarship at Aries Lyon, I had the chance to work with Martin on many video games projects, as a junior game designer, martin is very rational and creative in his approach of game design. He always tries to improve the storytelling and the experience of a game in a very player-oriented approach. Martin is also a very calm and nice person, it is a true joy to work with him and he has good communication and presentation skills that create a serene work environment in the team. I wish good luck to Martin and I want to recommend him for his game design skills to any company in the industry!

I took care of a brand new scope : UX and UR. I was the link between the Dev team and the User Research team. I was also in charge of the quality of the User Experience in the game and started a whole new process to do so. I was also in charge of the smoke test process, used automated tests, work with an external functionality team and was a part of the closing team.

My time at Focus marks for me my very first experience in a big enterprise : in an open-space of 70 people and in a company of more than 140 members, dialogue and help between different projects and hubs are essential. I participated actively to the quality assurance process of two major projects with very different problematics, different partners and different constraints: Fear the Wolves is a project leaded by multiplayer constraints and with a strong dependence of the community.… Show more My time at Focus marks for me my very first experience in a big enterprise : in an open-space of 70 people and in a company of more than 140 members, dialogue and help between different projects and hubs are essential. I participated actively to the quality assurance process of two major projects with very different problematics, different partners and different constraints: Fear the Wolves is a project leaded by multiplayer constraints and with a strong dependence of the community. The game followed a live structure (it evolves even after the release) and we had to adapt our process to players' responses and to developers' needs. Greedfall is a project with a very large content mixing action, narrative based on choices and RPG mechanics. We had to adapt our process to the content to ensure the best quality as possible on every single points. I also worked on The Council, a narrative project where the multiple branches created a new challenge for me.
