LES TERMES #17 avec Alan Reynaud et Guillaume Broche de @sandfallgames​

Hello everyone and welcome for this
new Les Termes episode

the everchanging show tackl ing
new, random topics as we go

but we're very happy to have you again
for this exceptional episode

first and foremost thanks to Seb's presence here
as he automatically makes our show exceptional

I'm never supposed to be here and
yet here I am (I swear I don't sleep here)

your presence ALWAYS is exceptional

I'm very happy to be here as we have
prestigious guests today

I couldn't be more excited because
we'll talk video games

but not just any games

exactly, this is only the second time
we're receiving people from the v. game industry

(we already did it a couple months ago)

and now here you are, but you're not
random people and this is not a random moment

ok ok maybe you're random people

the "Kojimas from Southern France

hello, I'm Guillaume Broche CEO
and creative director at Sandfall

we released Expedition 33 two
weeks before making this video

I'm Alan, I've been working as
lead character artist at Sandfall

for more than 4 years,
since Sandfall was created basically

ok so you're part of the Sandfall studio
which just released Expedition 33

that you were able to see on this channel
as we made our own video about it

exceptional game, exceptional feedback,
we'll discuss that shortly

I guess you already did so with
quite a bunch of journalists

who most likely profusely licked your boots

exactly so we came here for blood

ok so before we start, no worries,
it'll be a spoil free video

we'll only show footage from Act I

you may only see images from the first
10 minutes of the game

so no worries, you can stick around

we'll be speaking about video game
creation and production

(especially that video game) but
people will still be able to discover

the game on their own.

by the way, should we call it "Expedition 33"
or "Clair Obscur"?

that's for everyone to decide, we personally
just call it "Expe'"

but Expedition 33 is easier to pronounce
around the world

is it true that Japanese people just
call it "whatever 33"?

yeah that's amazing, we actually planned on
releasing it with that title for the Japanese version

is it official?
it sure is.

so, before we actually start speaking,
can I ask you about what it is that

you really, actually do at Sandfall

are you actually working ooor

well we haven't done much these past two weeks,
just fixing minor bugs here and there

I personally direct the project, it all
originated from my own personal project

and because it started at such, I do all
kinds of things

so 10% of my time is dedicated to team
management and feeback

but the other 90% is spent on Unreal
doing things, many things

tech animation, cutscenes, boss design,
battle design, battle camera

ah so you really do a bit of everything

so you actually partake in the process making

yes yes absolutely, that's where most of
my time goes, on Unreal

this project was born from my passion
for Unreal

I opened Unreal, wanting to learn it,
and I was like omg that's amazing

was it Unreal 4 back then?
- yes it was 4.21

funny story here: the very first project
I saved as I was learning the software

was named "Sandfall" as I already
had some ideas for the story with

the passing of time so I quickly
opted for this idea - hourglass, sand falling

and so it became the studio's name
