About Novoid

I am a developer, I have always followed this path, I have always been attracted to technology and creation in general. I am the one who always asks questions, the one with wacky ideas, like selling a butter dish with a sharp grid (to make butter quarters) or that kind of thing.

I always say that curiosity is the most beautiful flaw, even if I don't think it is a flaw deep down. Learning is for me an inexhaustible source of distraction and interest, I cannot see myself living without learning.

My last job was in Rennes in an IT consulting firm, dev angular / java on old versions, it lasted 2 trial periods of 4 months, then they didn't keep me because of the dev / AI transition and the change of trend in the sector. So I decided it was time to stop working for others and start creating.

Story Inception

It is from this observation that I started to imagine the creation of a video game under UE5, a clever mix of dark souls, dark chronicle and delicious in dungeon (netflix), I basically wanted a hardcore survival / horror with demanding gameplay and heavy atmosphere where the mission is to survive in a deeper and deeper dungeon, in search of artifacts that will allow to rebuild the village. The survival aspect was focused on hunger / thirst / sleep / madness all with an atmospheric soundtrack.

It is in this imaginary that I plunged for several months in learning UE5, until the moment when I told myself that I would like to version my project anyway... So I configured a self-hosted gitlab on my prototype rack server in a VM.

This is where I really took automation as a passion. During this learning of UE and automation, I started using chatgpt and gemini a lot in this learning in addition to video courses and others, that's where I started to get interested in machine learning, how an AI works in its trips, deep learning, etc... And that's where I found yet another new passion.

I was asked by my group of friends to set up yet another server for yet another game so that we could play together.

By dint of brainstorming, reflection with my friends, by dint of market study, and having discovered "vibe coding", I finally stabilized my idea on a simple concept (at the heart very complex) but which would be of service to many people: Vibe Hosting, I borrow the idea of the vibe, being myself a person loving enormously "chill" I find that it stuck well together.
