Just functions to draw images on the screen, read player inputs and play sounds. I also loved how XNA was so basic and powerful at the same time. Being able to publish my game on a console was enough to choose it among everything else (even if I was a Sony fanboy). When I was a student, I had some classes about XNA, which a mid-level framework made by Microsoft to make games for Windows and Xbox 360. And of course, because I had no idea of what I was doing (take that past me), I thought it would be great if every level was a new game. I wanted to create a background that seems to be a classic game but that responds to the player rhythmic’s successes or failures. The idea was to make a rhythm game that is both fun to play and nice to watch, because rhythm games are usually boring if you’re just a spectator. If you don’t know what project diva is, it looks like this : It was basically a Project Diva like with a responsive background. The first concept (that we kept for a loooooong time) wasn’t very original. I wanted 8BTM to be a love letter to retrogaming. My intention wasn’t to make something really dark like Binding of Isaac. I wanted to tell a story about escaping the reality of a small world into all those incredible video-game universes I’ve travelled to in my mind. We had a terrible childhood but video-games were kind of a shelter for me. So I started writing some ideas and drawing mockups of 2 heroes inspired by my brother and I. I love how Space Channel 5 brought a story mode to a genre that is not used to tell stories. So basically, I love both rhythm games and retrogaming. And damn, those musics… I can’t forget them. From Sonic 3 to Streets Of Rage 2, I love how it is so simple yet so catchy. I still play with my megadrive sometimes. I have an arcade Dance Dance Revolution dancepad at home and I even made some songs for Stepmania which are quite popular. So, what type of game do I want to do ? Hm. I have almost no knowledge on how to make a game but hey, I can learn on my free time. But as I’ve loved video-games ever since I was a kid, my dream has always been to be a game developer from the first time I put my hands on a controller. School is over and it’s time to get a job. I’m François, and I’m now a fresh new software developer. Want to start playing as quickly as possible.Let’s go 7 years back in time.
