Description

Wild Factor was founded in 2012 by programmer Alexandre Lautié. Alexander has worked on nine commercial games over the years from retro pixel to next gen console games, including his time at Ubisoft where he helped create the development tools for Just Dance and Just Dance 2014. The story he tells about Wild Factor’s inception is he was eating alphabet soup and saw this message in his bowl: strt a gma cmpiny. “Close enough”, he said, and Wild Factor was born.

History

Machiavillain was born during a Ludum Dare game jam, shortly after seeing Cabin in the Woods.
Programmer Alexandre Lautié and his girlfriend, comic artist Zimra, kept things simple and silly, had a lot of fun and very little sleep, and the game (named “The Villain’s Rules”) got a rewarding enthusiastic reception.
The prototype got a french government grant from the CNC (attributed by a committee of video game professionnals) in 2014.
Writer John Bardinelli and game designers Matthew Weekes and Adrien Forestier joined the team who is currently working on the alpha.
The next step of this evil adventure will be a crowdfunding campaign.
