Bio
Julien Fenoglio
During our time at Fireplace Games, Valentin demonstrated exceptional skills and a keen understanding of various aspects of game design and a genuine passion for creating captivating combat encounters. In fact, his steadfast contribution allowed him to oversee enemy archetypes, behaviors and boss fights from pre-production to ship. Valentin is a proactive, engaging collaborator with valuable insight, always willing to incorporate feedback for the betterment of the game. I’m also particularly thankful for his diligent documentation throughout the project which helped me navigate the game design team’s spirited discussions and integrate the results into my own work.
