Simon Dejean
Game Designer
I bring my creativity and problem-solving perspective to your video game production.
With a background in advertising, I followed my passion and switching over to the gaming industry by joining Asobo Studio in 2023 to work on Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.
In my designs, I always keep the technical constraints in mind and involve the team members early on to make sure we can progress as a team in the right direction.
RESONANCE: A PLAGUE TALE LEGACY
Game Designer - Asobo studio
(Bordeaux, France)
Single player action adventure game. I helped create the combat system in a studio that had no previous experience of it. I had to adapt existing traversal, camera systems, and such, from a narrative stealth game to an exploration combat game.
