Developers in Paris?

o2car · Mar 2009

I´ve tried to find studios located there but the only one I could find was the Ubisoft HQ and I dont know if they develop games there at all.

this site does a good job of indexing most of the french game developers.
However I don't think there's an english traduction available.

Ubisoft did have a studio there the last time I was across, but that was several years ago.

Yeah there are plenty of game studios in Paris, check AFJV too to find some, guess the most known is Ubisoft, but there's some others like Darkworks, Quantic Dreams, Cyanide etc...

How do you know DontNod eraserhead? They are quite new, haven't shown anything yet...

Briefly did contract work for them.

Did DontNod show anything from Adrift yet ? they were supposed to unveil their project during the GDC. i really like Alain Damasio and Aleksi's work, so i'm really wondering what's this all about.

Bal · Mar 2009

From what I heard they aren't close to announcing anything yet... I'm quite interested in seeing what they're up to aswell.

Eraserhead, nice, good for them.

I don't think Ubi actually has a development studio in Paris.

I think Paris is the headquarters of their 'editorial' (AKA where the head honchos that greenlight products n shit, and where producers have to go to beg for budget increases, and deadline extensions).

Montpellier isn't too far, and that's where Raving Rabbids is made.

One of my old coworkers from Ubi (Sebcesoir) used to work at a place called Power and Magic Development (which was later bought by Take 2). Not sure if they're still around though.

Jox, nah, Ubi montreuil (which is just outside paris) IS a dev studio. at the moment I think they are making Red Steel 2?

Yup thats right, the development studio is just outside Paris, I might visit them sooner or later. :P

Super · Mar 2009

Was going to say.. Aren't UbiSoft a French developer? Seems odd if they don't have a studio there.

Man I wish Ubi would open one in London.

Montreuil (sometimes unofficially called Montreuil-sous-Bois) is a commune in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 6.6 km (4.1 miles) from the center of Paris.

Every time I think of Paris I have a sudden urge to go around opening manhole covers looking for the knights templar...

wuups! My bad

^_^

For some reason I though Montreuil was waaay the fark out there, along with Montpellier (I have no sense of french geography).

Wow.thanks for all the info guys! I really like my current position so
I probably wont move to Paris but Ive recently met a girl who
might study at Gobelins school of image and that made me wonder.

Bal · Mar 2009

o2car, that's probably the best art school in France, lucky her.

o2car · Mar 2009

So I heard. Shes applying for the animation course.
I would be happy for her if she got in but sad for my own sake,
