Background

About Eric Latouche

I started in the video game industry in 2005 as a QA tester at Humagade and I became a game designer in 2006. The company was later bought by Frima Studio and I had a great run until January 2022, working on a lot of different projects over the years, with the last one being Disciples: Liberation. In January 2022, I joined Nesting Games to start a new and awesome project with talented people I've been working with in the past at Frima. The adventure at Nesting Games unfortunately didn't last with all the cuts in the industry in 2023 and in January 2024, I joined Sarbakan to develop arcade games. My strengths as a designer are economy, game systems and game balance. In my opinion, a game must be fun to play before anything else. Then comes the story, the presentation and the music which are also very important to have a complete experience. I'm a passionate of video games, music (metal, synthwave, video game and movie soundtracks), card games (MTG), board games and role-playing games such as Pathfinder, D&D, Cypher System and Savage Worlds. I love a good movie or a series too from time to time. The perfect meal: Hamburger & french fries with a local beer (microbrewery) Favorite bands: Kamelot, Poets of the Fall, Amaranthe, Beyond the Black, Metalite, Sonata Arctica, Dream Evil, Blind Guardian, Within Temptation, Dragonforce, Iron Savior, Hammerfall, Lost Horizon, & Stratovarius. Favorite Games: Planescape Torment, Super Smash Bros Series, Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem Series, Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy VI, Legend of Zelda series, Xenoblade Chronicles Series, The Witcher Series, Dragon Age Series, Mass Effect Series, Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2, F-Zero GX, Shovel Knight, Megaman 2, Megaman X to X4, and many, many more!
