Olivier Besson’s Summary

My educational background is mainly engineering but mixed with a passion for graphics.
From 1995 to 1996 I designed e-learning applications.

From 1997 to 1999, thanks to the initial success of a dancing "bot" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVl6BIElM-o) I designed/developed Flash games for kids (FKGB), taught Flash at the Multimedia school Les Gobelins in Paris, worked on various multimedia project, and elaborated a site concept (globz.com) which eventually became a company.

In 2000, I co-founded Globz.com company with Alexandre Houdent. Globz produces simple, accessible, quality games (eg http://www.globulos.com). Globz still successfully works for web agencies and entertainment groups, and is producing a port of Globulos on Nintendo DS.

From now (august 2008), I'm self-funding a new experimental flash game project.
As a freelance, I welcome any game/entertainment flash development mission.
