Focused on
When i created Pharmakon, I wanted to bring a simple, coherent and precise panel of possibilities to solve an evolving problem.
My goals were :
- make a game able to challenge and entertain myself
- to not lose players in tons of (sometime useless) contents
- to keep strong and coherent identity between game design, story, art and music (even if it doesn’t match with flashy things)
- to face the answer of the ultimate question: Should i continue to develop games?
History
My name is Ludovic Servat, i am a self-educated independant game developer.
As a lonely kid, i started to imagine stories to not be bored, then i drew a lot while i was a teenager and i started to do print design with my first computer. I was 18 years old. After years of (messy) self-education powered by internet, i participated in the creation of various game projects as illustrator/concept artist, art director, ui artist and game designer. Mostly dead on arrival, these projects gave me a lot of lessons about good and bad experiences in game development. Along that badly dented road, i became a polyvalent developer able to fully release a game by himself. That’s how Visumeca Games came to life.
