COLLABORATIONS

The development of The Smurf, Blueberry Battle has been enriched through several major collaborations, both artistic and commercial:

Sound Design : Humarka
We were fortunate to collaborate with the Belgian studio Humarka Audio Production. Their passion and expertise helped create a sound identity true to the world of the Smurfs, with high-quality sound design. This collaboration was crucial: without their involvement, the sound design might have been limited by our budget constraints. Thanks to them, audio was never relegated to the background and contributes fully to the game’s immersion and overall quality.

Licensing :I.M.P.S
We were honored to earn the trust of IMPS (Peyo Productions) for the official use of the Smurfs license. The Smurfs, Blueberry Battle is the very first VR game set in the Smurfs universe, a truly unique opportunity!

Funding support : Start Invest
Start Invest placed their trust in us at a critical moment, just as we were emerging from a challenging period. Their financial support gave us the breathing room needed to complete the game’s development and help us complete the project.

The Vex (JSquare Studio) :
The VEX, is the Belgian distributor and leader in hyper-reality and free-roaming attractions for LBE who hosted the game’s premiere. It was through them that we first explored the world of LBE platforms and faced its initial challenges.

Other international distributors who trusted us:
Phenomena, Spawnpoint, Synthesis VR and Hologate (in the process of integration)
Many other distributors are currently in negotiations.

The game already enjoys the support of several leading distributors in the field of LBE VR and is available in over 70 countries worldwide thanks to our distribution partners. These partners chose to place their trust in us, demonstrating their interest and commitment to including the game in their catalogs. To meet this demand, we developed a cross-platform solution, ensuring the game is accessible on all major VR platforms.
