RPGWatch - Jehanne Rousseau Interview
Here is the second part of our new interview with Jehanne Rousseau, CEO and co-founder of Spiders. This time we talk about her writing style, and daily life.
Couchpotato: Can you give all of our members a brief introduction about about yourself, and what your daily job at Spiders is like?
Jehanne Rousseau: Sure, I'm Jehanne Rousseau, CEO and co-founder of Spiders. I began working in the industry in 1998 as 2D artist working on Gameboy games, then I worked for different companies as a game designer. Finally, I became a project manager for Monte Cristo where I met the team that became Spiders and worked on my first released RPG.
Today, as a CEO, my job is mainly to manage the development team and the studio itself, I usually play the creative director on our projects (alas I have to spend some time to do administrative tasks too) and I also often write parts of the scenario and dialogs for our games. I love to see a simple idea becoming a game, and being there with all the team, from the very beginning to the end. Even now, after more than 15 years in the industry it's still magic.
