About Thibaut
What I offer:
- Game system design: original mechanics, gameplay/user‑experience balancing, concept prototyping;
- Compelling Design Docs: structuring the creative vision, translating it into technical and narrative terms, producing clear, investor‑focused documentation (complete with financial pitch and market alignment);
- Fundraising support: preparing polished materials to persuade investors, showcasing your USPs and ROI potential;
- Creative process optimization: organizing documentation, implementing collaborative tools (Jira, Confluence), and managing feedback loops.
My distinctive strengths:
- Knowledge of the business side of games: I've worked as a Project Analyst for Ubisoft, as a Strategic Analyst for TF1, the biggest TV network in France, and as a consultant for a consulting firm, the job of which was to secure public funding for small companies.
- Creative & analytical expertise: combining innovative gameplay design (for Big Monkey Entertainment) with project rigor (Agile methodologies, staffing and financial monitoring at Ubisoft);
- Results‑driven approach: treating Design Docs as strategic assets—for production and investor outreach alike—complete with English technical translation and integrated market data.
My promise:
- Pitch‑ready deliverables: clear, visual and data‑driven documentation that reassures investors and accelerates fundraising;
- “Player first & investor ready” mindset: engaging systems for gamers, backed by a solid commercial vision for your partners.
