PROUDLY MONTREALERS

Panache is a different kind of studio. We think and make games differently. Otherwise we are located in the heart of Montreal, on Saint-Laurent Boulevard with a gorgeous view of Mount Royal.
Don't be fooled by appearances, we take things very seriously at Panache. At least when it comes to game development. We may not have the biggest clan, but we think big: being bold and innovating is what pushes us! Our specialty? Historical games in 3rd person view for consoles and PC. The recipe applied? Take a good handful of beautiful and kind people (young and "not so young", add talent, sprinkle with audacity and a (big) touch of humor. Mix everything well and you get a beautiful poutine of game creation.

Marc-André Deblois Game Systems Director

Known for my innumerable “maderies”, I am an inexhaustible source of absurd sentences and unintentionally modified expressions that I take out of my personal “Pandora’s basket”. My Frenglish sentences and my pleonasms “never fall into the cracks of the carpet ” and make the happiness of my entourage who compile them meticulously.”

Pierre Gauthier Senior Programmer

Generous by nature and always available. I like to laugh a lot even if I am rather reserved with new acquaintances. I particularly like video games, good food (both cooking and eating it!), outdoor activities such as hiking and camping as well as board games.

Carl Descoteaux Senior Animator

Lover of life who has a permanent smile, you will hear me laugh for miles around! Since I’m not able to dance like in my younger years I spend my free time with my family or playing video games (survival, simulation, crafting). I like to observe, learn and imagine different scenarios as my work testifies. My dream: to buy a backhoe to redo my yard!

Sarah Petri Game Designer

Word lover, I often have fun inventing and distorting them, which can sometimes disturb my colleagues. Gamer, cinephile and podophobe (to the delight of those around me, who enjoy teasing me with great shots of foot photos), I spend most of my time eating or thinking about doing so.

Etienne Beaulieu Director of User Experience

I have a super power: storing all kinds of useless information! Did you know that a lobster’s stomach has teeth? I take too many photos of my pets and relax with gaming after a day of gamedev. Oh and I studied hard at university so I can photoshop my co-workers very quickly.

Patrice Désilets Cofounder and Creative Director

Proud father of two teenagers who allow me to see the world through their eyes. I am a man of habit : a good Capitaine Sandwich on Mondays and Fridays, playing CIV6 while eating my lunch, floor hockey on Wednesday nights… I love theater but hate shark bites, especially when it ruins my vacation in the sun.
