About Simon Préfontaine

I am an experienced Game Designer with passion for system design & balancing and over ten years' experience in the industry.My work experience includes "The Elder Scrolls: Blades" for Bethesda Game Studios, "Infernals: Heroes of Hell" for Goodgame Studios, several titles in the "Dungeon Hunter" series for Gameloft as well as "Cashtronauts", a self-published indie title on Steam.I also worked as a Game/Level Designer for Global Eagle Entertainment, helping on a variety of genres and franchises, including "Angry Birds World Tour", "Monster's University: Hide & Sneak", and "In-Flight Tetris". When I have free time, I enjoy game jams and other creative endeavours. Several years ago my road trip simulator "Don't Make Me Turn This Car Around" was one of the finalist of the Walking Dead All Out War Game Jam and its Lets Plays have received over ten million views. Before moving to Montreal, I worked in video production and film making, having earned my Communications degree from the University of Ottawa, where I specialized in Marketing and video production.
