Florian Estour

After 12 years in software development and a specialization in video game creation, I offer my services to share my expertise.

🎮 What I can bring to studios / indies:

- Development: algorithms, game mechanics, configurable tools

- Optimization: Unity performance (collisions, batching, LOD, process...)

- Integration: dynamic localization, multi-inputs (Steam Deck, Xbox, keyboard), Steam achievements

- Architecture: consulting on code structure and quality

🎓 What I can bring to schools:

- Courses/Lectures on programming (all levels)

- Courses/Lectures on C# Unity video game creation

- Conferences on the complete game creation cycle

In general, I can cover topics related to programming and video games.

To provide some context on my past experiences.

👨‍💻 Programming:

Graduated as an engineer 13 years ago, I have worked in large companies as well as small startups, before launching my own video game studio.

🎮 Video Games:

I have experienced all stages of video game creation.

From writing to publishing on Steam. For example, I was the sole contributor to the entire code of Fire Hero, our latest game.

I created a dialogue system, managed game localization, physics-based mechanics (Archimedes' principle, balances calculated via weights and forces...), Steam achievements, performance management...

🎓 Teaching:

I have had the opportunity to write training materials and facilitate them in my previous roles, discuss the video game industry in podcasts, train and manage technical teams, as well as share my knowledge with students. I also participated as a Juror for project defenses in schools in Lyon.
