Game devs post your first shipped game and your latest shipped game
Somehow... Never got to work on a game that shipped after The Crew 2 (at least to this day).
Maybe one day for those still in progress... 😆

Another #Balatro win, with the Green Deck, that basically makes it easier to get rich. That was unlikely IMO... But the Ludty Joker boosting Hearts + getting the Castle early so it could accumulate a lot of chips helped a lot.

Another day, another win at #Balatro. This time with the Yellow Deck. A tough one because starting with 10$ is not much of a bonus... But it worked somehow. Not shown: the Joker who spawns a Stone card on every blind, sold for the Burnt Joker. Took me to Ante 10 before finally getting whacked 😄

Had a good day today biking 50km for the Tour de l'île de Montréal. Legs are dead. Haven't biked that much in a long time... 😱😫

Montreal is still under a lot of snow. It's getting cleaned up little by little but sidewalks are still in a pretty disastrous state. 😄

So, good old web developer trick...
By using the "Inspect" feature of my browser, I click on the image, which leads me to the html block of my image, and then, copy-pasting the blob URL in the address bar will let me save the PNG.
Why does it have to be so complicated? 🥲

The other day, a colleague who has been at Ubisoft for 28 (!) years joined us. He worked on Rayman 2. 🤯 It's literally like meeting one of your heroes. Rayman 2 (on Playstation 1) and Rayman 3 (on Gamecube) were some of my favorite games back in the day.
Lots of interesting discussions to be had!

Name a game with a 10/10 soundtrack
Still to this day one of the best electronica OSTs. I listen to it often. I dream that one day, I'll work on a game with such a memorable soundtrack... 😄
