Meet the talents behind The Tiny Digital Factory, in a series of interviews.
Today, meet Jordan, Technical Game Designer at The Tiny Digital Factory. He helps create the concept, and set the rules for the games the studio develops.
Yes, I probably play too much! I don’t actually play a lot of racing games, my favorite styles are mostly FPS, TCG/CCG (trading card games), and Roguelike (role-play sub-genre)
It’s good ! I’m lucky enough to live not too far from work, even if it means I’m always in the same neighborhood. I really like Lyon, I think it’s a different world from Paris and it’s just the right size: not too small, not too big!
I would say Omen of Valorant! He’s a character I love, as soon as I discovered him I knew I was going to play him because he represents my style of play quite well. He’s a dark character, you can’t see his face, only his eyes shining and a very low voice. But still he is quite offbeat, comes out with some funny punchlines. And in his gameplay, he is a cunning character who will try to destabilize the opponent and get behind his back. I love that.
After high school, I got a Bachelor’s degree in Game Design at Bellecour Ecole, then I worked for a few months at Smart Tales. I then applied to The Tiny Digital Factory, and since Smart Tales was working with TDF, the contact was made naturally between the two companies.
I have been working here for 4 years! My best memory was moving to our current location. When I arrived, we were 10 employees, and we were working in small offices. That move, and the hiring, really gave the studio a new impetus and I felt that we had really evolved.
In Game Design, there are more and more schools and students, but very few chosen after graduation. In order to find a job, I think you have to diversify as much as possible beyond your skills as a designer only. It’s always a big advantage to be versatile, to be interested in other things like level design, modeling or programming.
