SHIPPED GAMES / Professional Projects
Released (or soon to be) games I've worked on mostly as a QA Tester, in a professional environment

SMALLER PROJECTS / Student Projets
Smaller scale projects done in a scholar/personnal environmentOmetrogayA sidescroller adventure game set up in New York City in 1968 that talks about a queer playboy named David who tries to seduce every boy he meets throught the app The RightMatcher. Throughout the game, he willl discover that there's as much types of relashionship as there is people and and that each and everyone of them are valid.Download link

.............................Seed BombsA project where we had to start from one of the dystopias from the magazine "Le réveil des imaginaires, Socialter (hors-série)", the one we choose is "Nature takes over the city" and the final concept is a FPS where the player launches seed bombs in his neighbourhood and sees how his action and his neighbours' grows his neighbourhood out of the urbanisation to go back to a much more greener self-sufficient oneDownload Link

.............................SeulidaireTabletop game project about loneliness set in a post-apocalyptic world. The goal is to go to the bunker but in order to do so, the player must recover their objective token along with enough resources. Players can either move as a team (loneliness even in a group) or alone. They must beware of the dilemmas they will face along their way.Download Link

.............................Anael’s Journey
A serious game project on unity using the Kinect. The aim is to raise awareness about earing disabilities.
Our final concept is a visual novel where the player is Anael, a young woman with an earing disability, has to go through life in a world which she doesn't always seem to be welcomed in. All the decisions the player makes can vastly changes Anael's experiencesDownload Link

.............................Orange & GrenadesA slow game jam (one week) production done at the start of my 1st year of master
The theme was 'Rennaud's song" and we choose the song "Ballade Nord Irlandaise".
The game is a platformer with an artistic direction revolving around childish drawings where the player has to plant an orange on the top of a hill.Download Link

.............................Treasures of Gods
A level design project. I had to produce a level design document of the first 3 levels of a game I made
My game is a an inflitration game set in an mythical ancient greek world where the player is a thief trying to rob various greek gods' treasuresDownload Link

About me

Bio :
Hello and welcome to my portfolio.
I am Brayan ANDRIAMIANDRARIVO, I just graduated from Paul Valéry University and obtained my Master's degree in Vidéo Game. I am now working as a QA Analyst at Ubisoft Montpellier.Video Game is one of my biggest passion since my childhood. And now, I'd like to turn that passion into a carreer.My main interest is definitely QA testing. I love to break game so the player won't have to! It's always an exciting challenge to embody some of the most clever players and attempt to find the ludicrous ways they would proceed to destroy features. But most of all, I enjoy having a front row seat to see how the game progresses. Seeing how each profession synergizes to the other to create magic, how features goes from words scribbled on a white board to fully functional.
Also interested in game design related jobs, especially in Level Design. I thoroughly enjoy spending hours and hours in a game engine, designing levels.Beside Video game, I'm also into other artistic disciplines. I am a protrait and fashion photographer on my free times, I have some interest in videography, graphic design and digital drawing/painting.Work experiences:
- April 2023 - February 2024: Junior QA Analyst at Ubisoft Montpellier
- October 2022 - March 2023: Intern Junior Game Tester at Ubisoft Montpellier
- April 2022 - September 2022: Intern QA Tester at Dear Villagers
