About

Hi! I’m Jean-Philippe Auclair and I live in Quebec, QC, Canada.

I finally  decided to create my own blog!

I was reading Mike Chambers and GSkinner blog, and i wanted to post some feedbacks and experiments i did after the Proximity contest of Mike.

And there i was with no way of communicating my ideas,  except by commenting on what they had to say.

So for now on, i’ve got my own thing!

If you wish to know a bit more about me, you can find my profile on Linkedin

I’m working at a compagny named Frima Studio, we are mostly making MMO for kids, but also all sort of other games.

My job at frima is the  Lead Programmer MMO R&D.

What does that mean? I’m making sure everything is optimized and generic in the core of our MMO games.

Over the last years, I worked on a lot of things including:

- Generic Game Core Engineer on the Nintendo DS platform for Sarbakan.

I also worked there on some DS titles (some released and some not!) plus some PC and Console games , with quite a few different framework.

After that I went to Frima Studio , acting as a lead programmer on Flash/Java environment for a big AI project in partnership with University Laval.

I was doing a bridge between a team working at the university, and a team working at frima, making sure everything was going to be build the way it should.

My next task was to work in the MMO engine team. Since then, I became the lead programmer of that team, mostly working with Flash AS3 (client) and Java (server).

While working on that core, we released a few MMO including:

Build A Bear Ville / LPSO / and many others

So there I am, looking for more discussions and learning coming from the outside world.

Enjoy the blog!
