An artistic and technical profession
Ophélie Eygrier has chosen to specialize in the artistic creation of characters, a creative and meticulous process. “Creating a character can take a long time, every detail counts,” she explains. In his team, colleagues focus on very specific aspects, such as hair modeling, a task that requires expertise and patience. While some artists skillfully combine art and programming, Ophélie prefers to stick to the visual and creative aspect.
Video games: a powerful social bond
Contrary to popular belief, video games are not synonymous with loneliness. Ophélie emphasizes their social dimension: “We can play with people from all over the world or even distant friends. Video game events also bring together thousands of people, like League of Legends competitions.” This connectivity shows that gaming goes beyond the screen to create vibrant communities.
The benefits of games on the brain
Ophélie also discusses the positive effects of video games on the mind. “Certain games improve concentration and critical thinking,” she explains. Simulation and strategy games are beneficial mental exercises, while others allow you to decompress. As for the issue of violent games, she puts it into perspective: “Media violence has existed for a long time, and it is not the video game itself that makes people violent but the person’s pre-existing state of mind. “
