J\u2019aurais tr\u00e8s bien pu cesser d\u2019enseigner et vivre tr\u00e8s confortablement des droits d\u2019auteur de mes quatre ou cinq jeux qui se vendent assez r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement, mais j\u2019avais fait le choix de continuer \u00e0 enseigner, quoique depuis une dizaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es seulement \u00e0 mi-temps. Je ne voulais en effet pas vraiment envie d\u2019arr\u00eater un boulot \u00e9puisant mais que j\u2019aime bien et dont l\u2019utilit\u00e9 sociale est indiscutable, ce qui est moins le cas de la conception de jeux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dans deux mois, au 1er f\u00e9vrier 2024, je prendrai ma retraite de l\u2019\u00e9ducation nationale et cesserai d\u2019enseigner l\u2019\u00e9conomie et la sociologie. J\u2019aurais pu continuer encore quelques ann\u00e9es, mais je me suis dit que c\u2019\u00e9tait l\u2019une de mes derni\u00e8res occasions de passer un peu \u00e0 autre chose &#8211; c\u2019est \u00e0 dire sans doute \u00e0 un peu plus d\u2019activit\u00e9 dans le monde du jeu de soci\u00e9t\u00e9, que j\u2019aime beaucoup aussi. Le contact avec des gens tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rents, que ce soit parmi les \u00e9l\u00e8ves ou les profs, me manquera peut-\u00eatre, tout comme le sentiment de servir \u00e0 quelque chose. Et si l\u2019enseignement me manque vraiment trop, je ferai quelques remplacements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Je ne vais sans doute pas me mettre \u00e0 concevoir plus de jeux. Il ne suffit pas de s\u2019asseoir \u00e0 son bureau pour que les id\u00e9es surgissent, et il est peu probable que leur rythme s\u2019acc\u00e9l\u00e8re. Je serai en revanche, \u00e0 compter du 1er f\u00e9vrier, beaucoup plus disponible pour participer \u00e0 des salons ludiques un peu partout, pour promouvoir mes cr\u00e9ations dans les boutiques et les bars \u00e0 jeux, pour faire le tour des \u00e9diteurs avec mes prototypes sous le bras, et pourquoi pas pour des boulots plus formels &#8211; d\u00e9veloppement, traduction, relecture, \u00e9criture de r\u00e8gles et plus ou moins tout travail \u00e9ditorial dans le petit monde ludique. Je ne compte pas, comme Antoine Bauza, me lancer moi-m\u00eame dans l\u2019\u00e9dition, la gestion d\u2019entreprise ne m\u2019excitant pas vraiment, mais je suis tout \u00e0 fait pr\u00eat \u00e0 travailler un peu, ici ou ailleurs, en fran\u00e7ais ou en anglais, pour un \u00e9diteur sympathique et sur des jeux que j\u2019appr\u00e9cie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bref, je n\u2019ai pas d\u2019id\u00e9e tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9cise de ce que je veux faire, je ne suis pas absolument oblig\u00e9 de faire quelque chose, mais je suis \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9coute et esp\u00e8re recevoir plein d\u2019invitations et de propositions int\u00e9ressantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/bruno-mathieu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"659\" data-attachment-id=\"5228\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/blog\/2015\/11\/27\/test-et-critique\/bruno-mathieu\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/bruno-mathieu.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,659\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;LiDE 110&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1448650522&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bruno prof\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/bruno-mathieu-300x247.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/bruno-mathieu.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/bruno-mathieu.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/bruno-mathieu.jpg 800w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/bruno-mathieu-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/faidutti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/bruno-mathieu-364x300.jpg 364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For thirty years now, I have been juggling with two day jobs, teaching and designing boardgames. While I could have stopped teaching and lived pretty well from the royalties on my four or five games with relatively consistent sales, but I had decided to keep on teaching, albeit part-time only for the last dozen years. I was reluctant to quit a job extremely demanding but also morally fulfilling, and with a clear social utility &#8211; a quality less apparent with game design.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In two months now, on the 1st of February, I will retire from my job as a teacher of economics and sociology. I could have stayed a few more years, but it\u2019s probably one my last opportunities to try something else. This likely means being more active in the little boardgaming world, which I also enjoy quite a bit. I will probably miss the interactions with very different people, be they students or teachers, and the feeling of being socially useful, but if it becomes too hard, I will undertake short time replacements.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I will probably not design more games. Simply sitting a few hours more at my desk is unlikely to spark more ideas, and it is unlikely that inspiration will suddenly strike more often. However, starting on February 1st, i will be have more time for visiting game fairs all over the world, for promoting my games in shops and game cafes and to tour publishers with a big bag of prototypes. I will also become available for occasional more formal jobs, such as game development, translation, proof reading, rules writing, and any other editorial tasks. I have no intention of starting a publishing company, like Antoine Bauza is doing, being totally uninterested in daily company management, but I\u2019m available for short term assignments here or there, in French or in English, with games and people I like.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I don\u2019t have a precise idea of what I will do. I don\u2019t really need to do something, but I\u2019m here, I\u2019m available and I expect to have lots of invites and intriguing propositions coming my way.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A question for English speakers: I asked ChatGPT to correct my English text, something I had never done before. I didn&#8217;t incorporate all the changes it suggested, but I did adopt many of them. In your opinion, does this text represent an improvement in my English compared to my usual writing ?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cela fait maintenant une trentaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es que je m\u00e8ne de front deux activit\u00e9s professionnelles, la conception de jeu de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et l\u2019enseignement.
