Enki Bachelier
Junior Gameplay Programmer at Lightbulb Crew (Paris)!

Who am I?

Hi! My name is Enki Bachelier! I'm currently in an apprenticeship with Lightbulb Crew (Paris) along the CNAM-ENJMIN (2nd Bachelor's Degree in Video Game Development) since January 2023!

Following a double Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics-Biology (at University Paris-Saclay) which gave me a first approach at programmation, a strong knowledge in Mathematics and a sharp sense at problem solving, I joined the Bachelor in Video Game Development proposed by the CNAM-ENJMIN (Angoulême).

Since my father introduced me to the Video Game industry, I've always been fascinated by the retranscription of a human imagination shared and felt by players from different backgrounds. The immersion of certains games (Outer Wilds, RDR2, Disco Elysium) made me switch careers and join this industry, in which I could blossom, both professionnally and personally. My goal is to push this industry forward while learning from every department and delivering quality games, that emotionally engage the players!

- Testing and fixing bugs reported by myself or others
- Prototyping design ideas in fields in which I had restricted knowledge

What do I like to do?

I was introduced to photography since my childhood by my mother, who passed on her passion to me. I took part in a few exhibitions in which I received awards (professional jury & public prizes).
My dad passed on his passion for cooking. I'm passionnate about pastry, which I've been practicing the most often that I can. He also introduced me to Badminton, which I've played for over 10 years and recently got back to it competitively!
Being tired of the research field and being more and more interested in all the process behind a video game, made me switch careers after my Double Bachelor's Degree. Outer Wilds & Red Dead Redemption 2 were the games that gave me this initial push to enter this industry. Nowadays, I'm improving my vision of the industry by playing to a bunch of games (A Small Hike, Disco Elysium), as well as defining my place in the industry so that I can bring it even further!
Travelling (US, UK, Italy...) is one of my source of inspiration along architecture (Brutalism) or music (from Colin Stetson to Kendrick Lamar), whether in creating video games or building tiny universes in my mind.
I'm also a film (Twelve Angry Men, Blade Runner, World War Z) and litterature (Urasawa, K. Dick, Don Rosa) enthusiastic. But I try to refrain myself from starting 40 projects at the same time!
