Pierre-Luc Trémoureux — 2011-09-29T21:09:48Z

Transposition of game mechanisms into other contexts. Gamification, which Jane McGonigal calls "gameful design", is the transposition of game mechanisms into other contexts, thus reintroducing dream, giving pleasure, but also motivating and creating user engagement. As consultants, we can help you integrate these mechanisms into your applications, services and products.

Do not hesitate to tell us about your gamification plans.

Transmedia - Storytelling

Pierre-Luc Trémoureux — 2011-09-29T21:09:46Z

Transmedia is the next phase in the audiovisual industry. Everything begins with a story, yet, narrative techniques have evolved. They are now more complex, and today, consumers no longer remain passive. They want to get involved, to interact with the story, the thread of the narrative. They want to enter another universe via different platforms: mobile, Internet, books, comics, television, radio, and real-life events.

Undeniably, transmedia is the next phase in the audiovisual industry. Our teams are already breaking the codes and boundaries between various media through original concepts. They are working on several projects, including Kadath Quests, a fictional and immersive transmedia series inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's work that has been developed internally for study purposes.

Whether it is through the use of transmedia experiments, storytelling, alternate reality games, live action role-play and other virtual and real-life interactive adventures: we are ready!

We answer to emergency situations, warnings and suicide threats. Can video games affect the mental health of gamers? Do they lead to addiction? Our role is not to debate these issues but to answer emergencies, warnings and suicide threats that we are regularly confronted with.

We educate our teams with the help of psychologists and experienced professionals because games should never turn into drama and grief.
