Heart of Darkness (1998)
Eric Chahi
As a teenager, Éric Chahi created his first games in 1983 on Oric Atmos and Amstrad for Loriciels. He continued his career on the Atari ST and Amiga with Joan of Arc and Journey to the centre of the Earthpublished by Chip. He left the company in 1989 to join Paul Cuisset at Delphine Softwarewhere he produced the graphics for Time Travellers. It was in 1991 that Éric Chahi became famous, developing almost single-handedly Another World. The game is also a landmark for its revolutionary use of vector graphics, inspired by the rotoscoping technique used by Jordan Mechner for Karateka.
It would take Éric Chahi six years to complete his next project, Heart of Darkness. After this difficult development, he left the video game world to study nature, and volcanoes in particular. After releasing an HD version ofAnother World in 2006, he made a comeback and managed to reconcile his two passions with From Dusta God Game produced by Ubisoft Montpellier scheduled for 2011.
