Our french development team :

Gabriel Wink: Project leader and programmer, Gabriel is a tyrant leaving no rest to his team. Working from dawn to dusk and from dusk to dawn, this is how he conceives the development of a game. Speaking the odd language of machines, his diet and pace of sleep remains a mystery to his colleagues.

“Passionate about writing, games, photo and film, I've spent the last five years of my life making short films. Nevertheless, computers and games are my hobby since my teens, developing a project like PHW, has kept going through my mind for not less than ten years, was the perfect opportunity to take a break in this cinematographic adventure. Going from more and more ambitious, artistic and fun projects to another are to my mind an excellent way of giving a meaning to life.”

Gwenaël Manac’h: Art Director on the project, he is single task and nonsensical, unsuited to his world, he brings craziness and requires originality (some would say "snobbery") in the gaming field. When he is not drawing, his disarticulated silhouette haunts the workspace to oversee animation, interfaces and sceneries.

“A trained illustrator, I like to tinker in many fields. From designing a carved carrousel to the production of an animated credits, everywhere and anywhere as long as we need me to make pictures from an idea or concept.
My condition to take over the artistic direction of this game was to avoid everything that is closely related directly or indirectly to an elf in bikini swinging a runic flaming sword, or any other archetypes for teens and to inject all crazy ideas we had. My aim was to merge together with consistency and spontaneity. Judge for yourself!”

Anthony Deutsch: Game designer and animator, Anthony handles concepts. He rises them, merges them, even mows them in order to bring out all the ideas we ought to implement in the rules of the game, its ergonomics, accessibility and level design. In short, when he does not animate, he thinks, even if the team will tell you that in truth, he is sleeping.

“As a former multimedia graphic designer, first I joined the gaming industry by obtaining a degree in Game and Level Design then by joining a Master of Game Design at ENJMIN. Today, my desire to design and implement games is only equal to my taste for almond cream.
Demanding by nature on the quality (not just on the graphic design) of games, I belong to those who aspire to change the gaming industry both economically and creatively. This is why I take pleasure in realising Post Human WAR with the rest of the lively team.”

Pierre Allias: Game interface designer, Pierre has the daunting task of creating windows, menus, buttons and panels that allow you to play comfortably. His schoolboy humour (some would say "unhealthy") leads him to cram the game with humorous touches that will delight the player who gradually discover them.

“I grew up in the Paris suburbs, studied graphic design in various schools and worked in several publishing and communication companies. I have always enjoyed reading all sorts of things, from complicated novels to the list of ingredients on cereal boxes. I also love music, and clutter my room with basses and double basses.
The strategy game Age of Empires has had on me a significant influence and oddly intact since childhood.”

Lucien Baldacchino: acknowledged mélomane, confirmed autistic, Lucien is the composer and the project’s sound designer. His accurate hearing, perpetually wounded by constant noises of his colleagues, enriches considerably the game with a funny, enjoyable and relevant soundscape. Lately, Lucien has also begun to animate, his rigor allowing him to give life to his soul mates: Robots.

“Armed with my microphone and a good dose of obsessive madness, I record everything that happens within reach, doors, stoves, chairs, people, flush, and sometimes I even do stuff with it. After the conservatory and my studies in musicology, I equipped myself to realise audiophonic fictions, I really got into it and discovered a sudden passion for sound design (and recording doors). Today, all those experiences help me with PHW where I enjoy torturing tomatoes for spurts of blood.”

Charlie Belin: in charge of the game’s scenery, Charlie is like an ant : wilful and persistent, yet she does not hesitate to question her own work when she has doubts about her artistic work viability. Somehow supporting the eccentricities of her colleagues, she gradually imagine a world that is both poetic and crazy which will take place in the coming battles.

“I am currently a student in the final year of animated films in Angouleme, after obtaining my baccalauréat (equivalent of an A-level) in literature in Grenoble and going to an Art School in Paris then in Roubaix. Hooked on theatre, literature and performing arts, I put my heart and soul to the design and development of independent projects, artistic, aesthetic, recreational, narrative, and experimental teaching through all types of media (movies, video games, and cartoon).”
