Darkworks

Darkworks SA is the result of the acquisition on 8 January 1998 of the French subsidiary of the American company Verity Inc. by two of its former employees, Guillaume Gouraud and Antoine Villette.

Thanks to their experience in large video game development companies for which they worked as sub-contractors for several years, the founders, with David Rochedieu by their side, convinced Infogrames to entrust them with the development of the fourth episode of Edward Carnby: Alone in The Dark, The New Nightmare.For nearly 36 months Darkworks developed this major title on two platforms, the Sony Playstation and the Sega Dreamcast and monitored the conversion for Sony Playstation 2 and PC. At peak production levels, the team included over 60 members.Darkworks enjoyed total creative freedom for Infogrames? flagship product. Darkworks designed, created and developed the script, music, all the technological aspects for Game Play and Game Design, all the visual aspects and all the non-interactive sequences.

Alone In The Dark The New Nightmare had its European launch in May 2001 and soon reached No.1 in the European charts for PS1 until August that year. Still on sale as Christmas 2002 approaches, Alone In The Dark The New Nightmare has achieved sales of over 1.2 million worldwide.

In February 2001, Darkworks opened up its capital to groups of institutional investors and massively invested in proprietary technology (production tools, project management tools and resource management tools), Research and Development in the Sony Playstation 2 platform, the design of new projects and canvassing other publishers with an international scale.

In November 2002, the Darkworks company announced it was producing an original title with one of the most prestigious Japanese publishers and had begun negotiating with one of the major American publishers.

The company is pursuing its objectives of having two or three titles in production for 2003 and is now considered one of the major French independent development players.
