Game Créalab Francophone 2026
We support indie video game projects
A 15-day immersive residency program
Game Créalab offers a video game concept writing residency program that welcomes creative teams with early projects at the concept stage. Our participating teams are made up of independent authors or talents from emerging studios.
A collaborative method
The residency takes the form of a collaborative workshop. Each creative team reviews the other selected projects in advance. The workshop provides an opportunity to exchange ideas with the other teams, allowing everyone to work together on improving their proposals. Two mentors, who are creators themselves, are present on a daily basis to guide and stimulate the discussions. This support is complemented by the participation of guest publishers. They intervene during the fifteen-day residency to provide an outside perspective and offer their expertise on how the projects are positioned in the video game market.
A comprehensive and intensive program
The residency addresses the artistic (narrative design, gameplay, art direction), technical (adaptation to the medium, animation, technical development), and financial (target audience, market positioning) aspects of video game design. It offers practical exercises to refine the artistic coherence of projects. The program is complemented by masterclasses conducted in person and via videoconference.
