Jean-Luc Monnet
Arkane Lyon
Jean-Luc Monnet has worked at Arkane’s Lyon studio since 2006, first as a Concept Artist, and most recently as Lead Concept Artist and Assistant Art Director on 2021’s DEATHLOOP. One of the things he loves doing most is spending time in his workshop, welding metal parts together.
Jean-Luc Monnet is speaking at the following session/s
Keynote: DEATHLOOP: Looking Inside a Design Loop
In this fireside chat, members of the Award-winning Arkane Lyon studio team, including this year’s Develop Star Award recipient Dinga Bakaba, discuss some of the development challenges and successes they had during production of DEATHLOOP.
Discussion topics will include:
- Creating a first-person action game in a brand new world, while preserving the Dishonored heritage.
- Analyzing the challenges of developing an immersive sim with the added complexity of multiplayer components.
- How the studio focused on the personal skills they had to develop during DEATHLOOP's development.
- The creative team will share their choices on the design of the characters, environments, and weapons design.
This panel will change how you look at making your next game.
I really like Develop, I really like the intimacy of it and I love the location.. there’s a good diversity of talks going on so there hasn’t been a time when there’s nothing I want to see.

Develop always gets put in the diary. There are many reasons to be here, not just the talks, but the networking, people exchanging ideas about where the industry is right now and where it’s going to. It’s pretty essential to be here I think.
Ian Livingstone, CBE
It’s really nice to see some of the younger people in our studio come to Develop, interact with other people in the dev community and make new contacts. I think it’s really important to learn from other people.
Abbie Heppe
Media Molecule
A lot of the opportunities that come from being here are speaking to other developers who are doing exactly the same thing as you. And there are some good parties – it’s very much a pleasurable work experience!
Gemma Foster

There really is a huge mix of people at Develop - loads of peers that you can learn from and the perfect blend of every element of game development as well.
Alex Moyet

Develop is the must-attend event for the games industry in the UK. It’s where we all come together and learn from each other. It’s the best way into the industry and it’s the best place to learn from your colleagues.

If you really want to have a good interface with the British game developer community then this is the place to come.

Develop is a very important place – it’s one of the few developer focussed conferences we have in Europe and that makes it very valuable.

Develop:Brighton’s a great conference. It’s got a spread of people from all parts of the games industry talking about such a wide range of topics.
