Full Description
A French video games studio created in 2019 and specialized in serious gaming, wants to co-develop a high-quality narrative video game, based mainly on regional cultural themes and drawing on folklore.
The SME is seeking a partner to coordinate a consortium and apply to the next “video games and immersive content development” call (Creative Europe programme). This call targets projects with high-level of originality and innovative and creative value. The French SME fully matches these expectations since they have developed a commercially distributed video game dedicated to the fight against discrimination in the workplace and at school. The company also conducts world-renowned scientific research in the fields of game studies, digital sociology and literature. The company employs 12 people including 2 researchers.
The French SME with extensive expertise in diversity and inclusion, is looking for a partner who shares its values and work ethic, and who wants to promote little-known local cultures by co-developing a video game. The game will be commercially distributed to the public via mobile devices and/or PC/Mac.
For the Creative Europe project, the French video games studio can contribute to the following activities, but the final contribution will be decided in consultation with the partner:
- Technical engine development (Unity, Unreal Engine, Ren’py)
- Project deployment & shipping on PC and mobile devices
- Production of 2D and 3D graphic assets, UI, animations and SFX
- Narrative design, scripting, writing
- Game design, level design, UX/UI design
- Agile SCRUM project management

The project will last 36 months.
