Welcome, I'm Grégoire Clémençon, Senior Game Designer
I’m focused on designing impressive game mechanics and contributing to immersive worlds.
Holding four degrees in Programming, Multimedia, Level Design & Game Design with professional experience at Ubisoft @Ubisoft as a game designer, I then created a complete five-year curriculum from scratch (Bachelor & Master level) in Game Design), where I met highly talented trainers and supervised student game projects as a creative lead.
I have a strong experience in rational / global design and remote working. I like to respect stage-gate-process in production, advocate for strong creative vision and player enjoyment. I am a RPG lover and design board games in my free time. I am currently looking for new game design opportunities!

O.zen is a wellness game based on the virtues of cardiac coherence to reduce stress. The player places a sensor on his finger and performs breathing activities in rhythm and thus controls their heart rate.

Assassin’s Creed is an action video game where the player embodies an agile and highly skilled in combat assassin. The gameplay emphasizes both action and stealth, requiring the player to carefully choose their approach to complete various missions.

I share my experience
Mentoring
I regularly teach in higher education institutions
I have extensive experience in teaching, mentoring, and knowledge sharing, and supporting teams and partners. I am capable of managing multiple game productions simultaneously.
I collaborate with various higher education institutions specializing in game design, as both a mentor and jury member. Previously, I designed a five-year postgraduate degree program from scratch, at Artline Institute, covering both Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, links below.
I train my skills with
Board games
I design paper and digital board games.
I design board games for a variety of audiences, for audiences aged 8 and above. I participate in game design competitions and have frequently been nominated and selected as a finalist at FLIP and CLuBB. My prototypes, initially designed and playable remotely (Tabletop Simulator, Card Creator), are then presented at festivals and are available for publishing opportunities.

I was impressed by the way Grégoire approached game design. Very structured, extremely rationnal, his structured approach showing an important experience. Working with him i discovered a very consistent person, fully supporting and totally thrustable. I clearly recommend him to anyone searching for design expert and/or design leader.
