Started by Guillaume Boucher-Vidal October 31st, 2011
Hi, my name is Guillaume Boucher-Vidal and I'm the founder of Nine Dots Studio. I've always been fascinated by video games and always wanted to contribute to this medium.
I completed a Game Design degree before getting a job at Activision as a QA tester. I quickly rose to a leadership role and a few years later decided that I needed to resign in order to do what I like most in game development, and that would be game design.
I created Nine Dots Studio with one goal in mind: to make the video game industry better. Thanks to digital distribution, developers no longer require publishers to distribute their games. If we embrace this opportunity, developers will gain financial and creative autonomy, and this will lead to better working conditions for developers and better games for the consumers. I want to be a part of this change.
