Jean Brice Dugait is a freelance concept artist living in Montpellier, France. Over the years, he has worked on many successful video game series like Assassin’s Creed, Crash Bandicoot, and Rayman. Some of you may remember our last interview with him, which we published in 2016 after his work for Ori and the Blind Forest was first shown. We spent a while discussing that particular project but never had a chance to get to know him personally.
Jean Brice Dugait je nezávislý návrhár z oblasti zábavného priemyslu žijúci vo francúzskom Montpellier. Pracoval na početných franšízach úspešných video hier, ako Assassin’s Creed a Rayman (Ubisoft) pred tým, ako pomohol s dokončením definitívnej verzie Ori and the Blind Forest v Moon Studios. Jean bohužiaľ nebol príliš spokojný s aspektami stavania svetov projektu Assassin’s Creed, na ktorom pracoval, povedal nám “Je to veľkolepá franšíza, iba som s prácou na takom druhu sveta nebol šťastný[…]” Tak sa začalo rozprávanie o tom, ako sa dozvedel o Moon Studios a hľadaní umelcov na pomoc s definitívnou verziou Oriho. Jean vtedy vedel, kam by chcel postúpiť.

He has worked on a number of successful video game franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Rayman at Ubisoft before moving on to contributing to Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition at Moon Studios. Unfortunately, Jean wasn’t too happy with the world-building aspect of the Assassin’s Creed project he was doing, he said that “It’s a great franchise, I just wasn’t happy working on that kind of world[…]” And went on to tell us that when he heard that Moon Studios were looking for artists to help on the definitive edition of Ori, he knew that that’s where he wanted to go next.
