Our goal? To create immersive, captivating games and IPs designed to take players on unforgettable emotional rollercoasters, with special attention to the mise en scène, crafted to elevate their experience.
Discussing regularly and being as open as we can with each other. Collective intelligence is often the solution.
THE FOUNDERS
François Alaux
Olivier Blin
Thomas Painçon
Everything we do, all the partners we choose to work with and all the people that are part of our studio are guided by these values.
PASSION IN ALL WE DO
Being passionate is what drives us every day, through both the highs and the lows. It fuels our success and brings real momentum to our projects and teams.
That same passion empowers us to inspire, engage, and energize everyone around us.
HUMILITY
We don’t aim to constantly reinvent the wheel on every topic.
We carefully identify and choose our breakthroughs to ensure they have the greatest impact on the game experience.
We know we don’t have all the answers, and we keep an open mind so we can continue to learn and grow.
HONESTY
We believe in consistently seeking and communicating the truth at work.
We value honest, constructive feedback and relationships, and we don’t shy away from difficult decisions or conversations.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We are and aim to remain a human-scale studio. This means holding ourselves, individually and collectively, to a high level of accountability.
We honor our commitments and place quality and excellence at the heart of everything we do. We move forward with passion, conviction, and kindness. We take responsibility for our decisions, our mistakes, and our successes, and we value collaboration across teams.
PRAGMATISM
Most of our team members have previously worked on large-scale, big-budget games.
Today, our resources are more limited, and that’s a strength. We believe working within constraints is an asset: less is more.
We consistently seek pragmatic, realistic solutions.
PLAYER CENTRIC
To achieve our goals, we believe players must remain at the heart of everything we do.
Delivering new gaming experiences can only be achieved by listening to and collaborating with them.
