Au Coin Du Checkpoint is a cosy, storytelling-driven podcast I co-create, animate and produce since 2023 (in French).

In this podcast, we sit around an imaginary “campfire” and we explore how video games (and other interactive medias) build worlds, stories, mythologies, and emotions. Each episode takes a theme (historical, folkloric, narrative, or mechanical) and we dig into it from multiple angles: real-world references, game design choices, artistic or historic inspirations, and the beautiful ideas that emerge when all of that blends together.

We don’t review games. We unpack the worlds behind them :
– how developers craft the worldbuilding : factions, cities, monsters, myths etc.
– how History, folklore or art shapes the “soul” of a game,
– and what these imaginary places say about us in the real world.

It’s warm, curious, and a lot nerdy. It’s a place for us to celebrate the beauty of projects, dream big and think creatively ! 🙂
