Advenworks is all about
PASSIONATE & CREATIVE PEOPLE
Rethinking video games production & publishing
OUR VISION
Imagine a video game studio totally distributed, organized as a global talent network in which collaboration, mixed cultural backgrounds and creativity are key values. A studio where project owners can work with gifted video game people and quickly bring their ideas to life and test them with the support and experience of video games veterans.
In these times of video game blockbusterization and neo-fordism, we truly believe in video game crafting made by passionate goldsmiths, wherever they are in the world.
The Digital Age & the Advenworks remote work methodology make this vision happen.

How does it
START
What do 2 geeks when they meet?
Romain and Nicolas met at Ubisoft HQ in Montreuil, France, and worked together on several video game AAA projects like Assassin’s Creed, Ghost Recon or Just Dance. Romain as Producer and Nicolas as User Experience Producer.
Dragon Kid: The first game of a long series
Nicolas and Romain decided to start a project together beside their job, just for the joy of art and creation. The challenge: Develop a game in 3 months during their free time. Dragon Kid in Towerland was the first game of Advenworks.
A year full of changes
Romain moved to Newscastle, England, to work as Producer on a new exciting Ubisoft IP: Watch_Dogs, and then for Lionhead Studio (Microsoft) on the Fable franchise. As a Creative Officer, Nicolas moved to Oxent (acquired by the Webedia Group in 2016), e-sport french reference startup (ESWC / Toornament).

Remote working: a company philosophy
Thrilled by Dragon Kid, Romain and Nicolas quickly decided to work remotely and to jump into a new game production: Birdy Party.
Romain – in England – and Nicolas – in France – created, tested and successfully implemented an innovative production methodology. Slack is their office. Skype is their meeting room. Trello is their scrum board!

Building a video game company for real.
Convinced by 2+ years of proof of concept of this decentralized and dematerialized game studio, but with great real results, Romain and Nicolas decided to quit their job fully dedicate their time to Advenworks, the first world indie game studio!
Birdy Party is released and new projects & exciting games entered to production: The Althea’s Loop, Slash Run and a full revamp of the Teach Me Series with a unique approach:
Squads of 6 people releasing 1 new production every 3 months. The goal? Quickly test the market and reduce costs.
