LUXgamesdotnet-about Luxregina

Who is LUXregina ?

I am a French Designer who lives in the US, in the charming town of Savannah, Georgia.

Having owned a lot of computers since the early 80's, I fell into video gaming at a very early age: Barbarian was my all time favorite, and I spent hours on Ikari Warriors, Cauldron, Ghosts'n'Gobelins ...

Being quite curious, I was attracted really early on to what was behind my favorite video games.

Why only Flash Games ?

Having worked the last 5 years with Flash for Web Design has made me comfortable with the tool. The power of Actionscript, with its "designer-friendly" interface, was something to take advantage of, for purposes other than only web design.

Even though I intend to stay faithful to Flash, I have started to have more and more projects that are coded in C++, which will allow faster gameplay, 3D, and much more ...

Is LUXregina is a one man team ?

Not really: most of the games featured in this site are the products of tight collaboration with Coders : Yann Genninesca helped a great deal with Two Kingdoms, and Strille is the solo coder behind Sylvaniah.

Being a graphic designer, and working on something more than a showcase engine, I need to collaborate with coders in order to achieve interesting results. Furthermore, collaboration also allows a productive exchange of ideas, concepts and criticism, that can only benefit the end result.

Am I only interested in game design?

I consider that games are great for stimulating players' imagination: a game without a background is, to me, less interesting. My games being online, their support is even more important, that's why I try to pay attention to the details of the game environment as much as to its graphics.

A more complete Web portfolio can be seen at www.luxregina.net, but it is not game only related.
