About me

4 bits about me

I’m Cyril Guichard, a game developer, creative director, and educator with over 25 years of experience leading art and production teams in digital advertising, combined with more than a decade of independent game development.

As Principal of Garage Collective, I create immersive VR experiences that have been released on Meta Quest and Rift.Some of my notable projects include:

  • Ragged Edge (mobile, 2010)
  • Outpost Trilogy (online, 2011/13)
  • Theta Legion (Go/Rift, 2018/19)
  • Stones of Harlath (Rift/Quest, 2021)
  • Shock Troops (Quest, 2022)
  • Drakkenridge (Quest, 2025)

I currently teach as a Professor of Interactive Design and Game Development at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia, where I help shape the next generation of interactive media creators.

I’m a passionate independent developer and lifelong artist who loves blending production leadership, technical skill, and creative storytelling. When I’m not teaching or building virtual worlds, you’ll usually find me experimenting with new tools, updating my ArtStation portfolio, or connecting with fellow creators in the VR and indie game communities.
