YOUR PROJECT / DIRECT COLLABORATION

Bring the hard interface problem.
Work directly with me.

I’m Remi Couture. Nearly 20 years of game UI and UX experience shape how I approach creative tools, interactive products, and the details people feel when they use them.

We can start with one important flow, a focused interface review, or a prototype your team can inspect together.

OUR GAME · NORMANDY, 1066 · COMING TO STEAM

Norman Ascension

One life ends. Your House continues.

An online multiplayer medieval life and dynasty RPG set in a persistent shared world. You begin as an unknown eighteen-year-old with modest means and a name few remember. Work, trade, serve a patron, break the law or practise your faith. Marry, raise an heir, and continue as your successor when your character grows old and dies.

Travel between Norman towns, trade at markets, cook and craft, buy a horse and hire an escort. Meet other players in town, regional and trade chat, exchange letters, join player-run factions, and marry between Houses. Wealth, holdings and consequences pass to the next generation, and your House Chronicle records the story.
