About the Dev – Pierre LEFEVRE

Who am I?

If you come across a guy with long hair and a rather stylish floral shirt dancing on the banks of the Seine on a rainy evening, that’s probably me! I’m passionate about music, dance, sports, video, and computer science. The three main things that make me happy are creating, learning, and sharing. SkyWars is the creation I’m most proud of — I’ve learned so much working on it, and today, I’m excited to invite you to discover it with me.

What’s my background?

I started programming when I was 9 years old. My mother, who was a computer science teacher, brought out an old computer running MS-DOS and Windows 3.1. She showed me the basics of Turbo Pascal, and with the help of her books, I learned how to create my first programs. I kept learning on my own with the resources I had. I coded my first game at the age of 10, and my first website when I was 12. Je suis rentré en prépa puis en école d’ingé, après un rebondissement je suis arrivé à 42 Paris où je suis encore étudiant.

How was SkyWars born?

It all started when I was in prep school. I had just finished a small game coded entirely from scratch. For a few seconds, I imagined having no limits — and I saw what I was truly capable of creating. I had this vision of flying vehicles, programmable systems, futuristic tools… I didn’t listen much to the class that followed — the ideas just kept flowing!
