l’interview des Légendes!

 

Legends indeed!

Eric Chahi (creator of one of the greatest videogaming experiences ever to grace the undeserving populace of this sorry planet)

 

Jordan Mechner (who did some game about a Prince?

 

Both videogame design titans who recently sat down with French dev Eric Viennot in order to discuss what The D would describe as “Inspirado”.   

 

They were of course talking in French, but luckily Gamasutra have a translation for you.  Or, If you’re feeling Gallic and want the Pure Uncut Chahi/Mechner straight to the main vein then you can check out le original here, charmingly entitled: Chahi-Mechner : l’interview des Légendes.

 

Interestingly, M. Viennot also has another dual-interview featuring design mavens Frédérick Raynal (Alone in the Dark and the gorgeous Little Big Adventure) and Paul Cuisset (Flashback!) – but there doesn’t appear to be a translation for this one.  

 

A savaged-by-malevolent-Babelfish-translation-robot-version is here, while the original French can be found here.

 

C’est bon!

Shiiiit!
