Biography

Born March 9, 1977 in Montreuil, France and known under the pseudonym Tot, he is a French screenwriter, director, producer, and game designer, best known as co-founder and art director of Ankama, an entertainment company which produces various content set in the fictional world of Dofus (2004) and Wakfu (2012). He studied at the Fine-Arts Academy of Tournai in Belgium. He went on to work at an online agency in Roubaix, where he met Camille Chafer and Emmanuel Darras. In 2001 the three co-founded Ankama and in 2004 their first game, a MMORPG Dofus (2004), debuted. This turned-based online game gained considerable popularity, especially in France, and Roux and his friends decided to expand the world created for the game. In 2008 a game called Dofus 2 - later re-titled Wakfu (2012) - was opened for beta testing. At the same time, an animated series also called Wakfu (2008) premiered on the public television channel France 3. Roux was a head writer for both the game and the series and in 2013 he went on to co-create a spin-off intended for younger children, Dofus: Aux trésors de Kerubim (2013). He continues to create animated shows, with seasons 3 and 4 of Wakfu supported by a crowd-founding campaigns, and writes and illustrates Wakfu-related art books and comic books. He is married to a comic book artist known under the pseudonym Azra, with whom he co-creates some comic books.
