My name is Shahine Rachidi. Here I will only briefly touch on what kind of artist I am here ! So I was born on August 1, 2006, in Toulouse, France. I am a visual artist, game designer, and writer. I also do storyboarding, directing, managing. I have been passionate about art since a very young age, especially video games. Painting, literature, and cinema also greatly influence me. I am very interested in surface. And I try to capture my audience, so my work often features a lot of color, sharp contrasts, and original ideas. When it comes to video games, I am extremely attached to fun and innovation, so I always try to design original gameplay. While the surface interests me, the themes I like to tackle are generally quite difficult: sexuality, discrimination, marginalization, paranoia, nightmares, the future, revolution, fascism, etc. I believe in the power of game design to tell stories, and I'm always interested in the most innovative ideas. Fun is also very important to me and I am able to create engaging, addictive experiences etc. But on my personal projects, artistic/game design innovation is above simple fun. I'm constantly looking to do something new, something that hasn't been said or done in a pre-existing way. As for big projects, video games, I always work with Excurse Software, my best friend, the programmer Liam Valty, and my good friend the animator and artist Kotico. I don't hesitate to collaborate with other ambitious artists or technicians. I'm not the type to do everything alone. I love working with people if they are serious. In the future, I would like to direct animations, short films, etc. In addition to making video games.
