The Game Bakers is an independent video game studio founded by Emeric Thoa and myself. To sum it up we often say we make games like we cook food: with a lot of care. We want to create that experience that you will remember, that you will have fantasies about long after it’s finished, and that will make you feel alive and energised. That’s the recipe we are going for. We hope you like it! Our studio is based in Montpellier but we work with a team of collaborators around France and the world. We have just released Furi our boss-fight game on PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One. Furi is all about intense one-on-one duels with a unique mix of close combat and dual-stick shooting, art from Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki and a powerful soundtrack from electro musicians including Carpenter Brut, Danger and more! It's getting 93% positive reviews on Steam and has been on many GOTY lists for 2016. SQUIDS, our underwater tactical RPG game is a great success with an average 5 star rating and more than 2 million downloads. SQUIDS Wild West, the Squids’ next adventures, with even more content and quality than the first opus, followed in SQUIDS footsteps (or tentacles?). A SQUIDS comic book is available. SQUIDS Odyssey, the ultimate Squids compilation with the two first opus and plenty of new content, is available for Wii U™ and Nintendo 3DS™ since 2014. Combo Crew our modern take on the old-school brawlers we loved so much was released in 2013, bringing fighting games to mobile with innovative touch controls and a nice asynchronous co-op play. Kotaku called it « the definitive beat-em up of the mobile age of gaming » and it made us happy. We also have this great partnership with Capcom to bring in the heavy-weights in the game: Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken, Blanka from Street Fighter 2 and Joe from Viewtiful Joe. In 2014, with the folks at Paramount and Nickelodeon we created a TMNT brawler for mobile to launch with Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie.
