#STUDIO

Ikimasho means let’s go!

Our name is a tribute to the leap of faith we took starting our own Virtual Reality game studio in 2017. We almost named ourselves andiamo!

We believe great games are the sum of innumerable small and very diligently executed strokes of genius that coalesce into a coherent whole.

Located 100 meters away from the Louvre and right around the corner from Paris’s little Tokyo and Seoul, Ikimasho is formed by craftsmen who flourish in our culture and bolster it each in their own way, to ultimately make our collective mark in VR.

#ABOUT

Team players

Ikimasho’s founders met online a little over 10 years ago, when Olivier commented on Yann’s then-published Gamasutra article.

Leaving movie business aside, Olivier started producing more and more 360° films and immersive theater pieces, while Yann was enjoying success as game lead for gumi’s Brave Frontier.

The pair saw VR gaming as a fantastic opportunity to experiment top tier tech, awe players with unique designs and build a sustainable business.

Armed with a working prototype of what eventually turned into Star Shaman, they managed to get a team together, ship their first game to very good reviews and grow from there.

They are currently busy with their second and third game.

#VISION

We love archetypes

The ultimate vision of VR is to go on an epic action adventure with your friends in a vast, persistent open-world and spend as much time socializing as playing.

We promise players to embody virtual characters that are larger than life, to match with these larger than life spaces.

Awards never hurt…
