Livelock: Meet Tuque - Alexandre Hétu

By Amanda | Thu 16 Jun 2016 09:00:00 AM PDT


Hello World,

 

My name is Alexandre Hétu and I am the PS4 Lead Programmer for Livelock. 

 
Growing up, what were your favorite games?

Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Doom, X-Com (the original), Ultima7, SimCity, Tomb Raider, and Duke Nukem 3D.


What are a few of your favorite games from the last few years?

Demon's Souls. 


What made you want to become a developers/work in the gaming industry?

As a kid I dreamt of drawing comic books when I grew up. Then one day, around age 13 or 14, I witnessed Doom running on a PC. I worked two summers and eventually bought my first computer. Soon after that during high-school I made friends with a computer genius who introduced me to programming and demo coding and that was it, I got hooked on graphics programming and all things related to game programming. 

 

What would you be doing if you weren't working on Livelock?

I would probably just be bored if i wasn't working on Livelock. 

 

Making a new title with a fresh studio, what has been the most exciting or terrifying moment?

Nothing too terrifying. Working with a smaller team creates opportunities to work on so many more things than you normally would in a bigger studio. It is much more challenging, but in a good way. 

 

Everyone needs a break from work, are there any office pastimes that you partake in (i.e. gaming, board games, tcgs, etc.)?

Unfortunately, some of us have a love/hate relationship with NHL 2016.

 

What other hobbies or interests do you have other than gaming?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, programming, and board gaming.

 

Would you be willing to undergo the mind upload? If so, would you be a capital Intellect or a rogue cluster? 

Definitely a Rogue Cluster.
