Our philosophy
For us, every stage in the development of a game is important. We’re committed to offering carefully designed, high-quality games.
The process of developing each game is unique, and involves many stages, from the birth of the visual identity to historical and scientific research.
- For Ganymede, we spoke to specialists in the space industry.
- For Paris 1889, hundreds of historical pictures were collected to provide a detailed historical context.
- For Iki, regular exchanges with Koota Yamada, the game’s designer, enabled us to get as close as we could to the authenticity of feudal Japan.
Beyond the gaming aspect, we pay particular attention to the quality of the player’s experience.
- In Gosu X, we decided to go for a rich set of materials, including cards, tiles and printed wooden tokens.
- In In the Footsteps of Darwin, we sought to tell a story through the component: chapters from The Origin of Species, Appendix, player’s board with an « ancient book » look, and so on.
