'''Don't Nod Entertainment SA''' ([[Social:Trade name|trade name]]: '''Dontnod Entertainment''', stylised as '''DONTИOD'''){{efn|"Dontnod" is a palindrome devised by co-founder Alain Damasio.<ref name="Metro-Jun2018" />}} is a French [[Software:Video game developer|video game developer]] based in Paris. Founded in June 2008, it started development on ''[[Software:Remember Me (video game)|Remember Me]]'' (2013). Because of its poor return on investment, Dontnod entered "judicial reorganisation" in 2013. With the help of French agency funding, it signed ''[[Software:Life Is Strange (video game)|Life Is Strange]]'' (2015) with publisher [[Company:Square Enix Europe|Square Enix Europe]] in 2014, whose successful release raised Dontnod's industry status. In May 2018, Dontnod went public on the [[Company:Euronext|Euronext]] Growth stock market. Other games they have developed include ''[[Software:Vampyr (video game)|Vampyr]]'', ''[[Software:The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit|The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit]]'', ''[[Software:Life Is Strange 2|Life Is Strange 2]]'', ''[[Software:Twin Mirror|Twin Mirror]]'', and ''[[Software:Tell Me Why (video game)|Tell Me Why]]''.

== History ==
[[File:GDC 2016 awards 16-20 54 10-01-7D1 1022 (25551810780).jpg|thumb|right|Dontnod receiving an award for ''Life Is Strange'' at the 2016 Game Developers Choice Awards, with directors Raoul Barbet and Michel Koch and producer Luc Baghadoust present]]
Dontnod Entertainment was founded by Hervé Bonin, Aleksi Briclot, Alain Damasio, Oskar Guilbert and Jean-Maxime Moris on 1 May 2008,<ref name="Dontnod Our Story" /> alongside other ex-[[Company:Criterion Games|Criterion Games]], [[Company:Ubisoft|Ubisoft]] and [[Company:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]] staff.<ref name="Cook-Aug2012" /><ref name="IGN-Jul2011" /> Originally based in Quartier des Quinze-Vingts in the 12th arrondissement, the studio moved into a new office in Quartier de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement to accommodate the company's growth in late 2008.<ref name="Barnes-Jun2016" /><ref name="Cario-Feb2015" /> [[Unreal Engine]] is used in all of its releases.<ref name="Gaudiosi-Jul2013" /><ref name="Hamilton-Feb2015" /><ref name="Makuch-Dec2015" />

The developer's debut title was ''[[Software:Remember Me (video game)|Remember Me]]'',<ref name="Farokhmanesh-Apr2016" /> which would at first be a [[Engineering:PlayStation 3|PlayStation 3]]-exclusive [[Software:Role-playing video game|role-playing game]], but was dropped by publisher [[Company:Sony Interactive Entertainment|Sony Interactive Entertainment]] in 2011 on account of cuts in funding. It was presented at Gamescom the same year to attract another publishing deal; the following year, [[Company:Capcom|Capcom]] acquired the rights and reimagined it as an [[Software:Action-adventure game|action-adventure game]],<ref name="Barnes-Jun2016" /><ref name="Martin-Aug2012" /><ref name="Remember Me-Oct2013" /> released on multiple platforms to mixed reviews and mediocre sales.<ref name="Farokhmanesh-Apr2016" /><ref name="Martin-Aug2012" /> In 2013, Dontnod was the most subsidised studio with 600 000€ aid by the French agency Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC).<ref name="Audureau-Feb2014" /> Including aid for a new [[Social:Intellectual property|intellectual property]] (IP) project codenamed "What if?" (later ''Life is Strange'') for 200 000€.<ref name="Cusseau-Oct2013" /> On 28 January 2014, Dontnod filed for ''redressement judiciaire'' ("judicial reorganisation"), a form of receivership in France; the proceeding was finalised in February 2018.<ref name="Cusseau-Jan2014" /><ref name="Debes-May2018" /> The proceeding filing was found by ''Factornews'' and some media outlets reported it as Dontnod filing for bankruptcy as a result of the poor sales of ''Remember Me''.<ref name="Futter-Jan2014" /> Dontnod responded to these reports explaining that they were in the process of "judicial reorganisation".<ref name="Rose-Jan2014" /><ref name="Weber-Jan2014" /><ref name="Sinclair-Aug2014" /> In June 2014, Dontnod announced that they were working with publisher [[Company:Square Enix Europe|Square Enix Europe]] on a new game,<ref name="Campbell-Jun2014" /> which was later announced as ''[[Software:Life Is Strange (video game)|Life Is Strange]]'' and released in 2015 over the course of five instalments.<ref name="Conditt-Aug2014" /> It was initially thought of as a full-length title that Dontnod would self-publish, but became episodic at Square Enix's behest.<ref name="Barnes-Jun2016" /> The game received generally favourable reviews,<ref name="MC Life Is Strange PS4" /><ref name="MC Life Is Strage PC" /><ref name="MC Life Is Strange XO" /> over 75 Game of the Year awards and listings,<ref name="Legendary-Jul2016" /> and as of May 2017 had sold in excess of three million copies.<ref name="Phillips-May2017" /> The critical and commercial success of ''Life Is Strange'' caused Dontnod to be solicited by publishers, whereas they previously had to pursue publishers themselves.<ref name="Dring-Aug2016" />

Dontnod announced in July 2016 that it had entered into a partnership with Hesaw, a Parisian game studio in which Guilbert also held a management role, that saw the latter renamed {{vanchor|Dontnod Eleven}} but remained an independent entity.<ref name="Frank-Aug2016" /><ref name="Dring-Oct2016" /> In April 2018, Dontnod registered with the French stock market regulator Autorité des marchés financiers to become a [[Finance:Public company|public company]]. This came after a [[Finance:Revenue|turnover]] of €9.7 million in 2017, a 33-percent increase from the previous year.<ref name="Dealessandri-Apr2018" /> The [[Finance:Subscription|subscription]] period opened on 3 May 2018, with the first day of trading on 23 May. Listed on [[Company:Euronext|Euronext]] PME (Euronext Growth), Dontnod raised the intended €20.1 million. 25 percent of the funds were spent on finding another studio to partner with; according to Guilbert, the rest would allow further project investment as well as improvement and optimisation of production pipelines, with an internal [[Motion capture|motion capture]] studio cited among possibilities.<ref name="Debes-May2018" /><ref name="Batchelor-Jul2018" /> Despite Dontnod's public listing, Guilbert, together with investor Kostadin Yanev, intended to keep control over the company.<ref name="Debes-May2018" /> Around this time, the company employed 166 staff members.<ref name="Debes-May2018" /> The studio subsequently acquired Dontnod Eleven and absorbed its operations in June 2018.<ref name="Delic-Apr2019" /> Following ''Life Is Strange'', Dontnod released ''[[Software:Vampyr (video game)|Vampyr]]'' with [[Company:Focus Home Interactive|Focus Home Interactive]],<ref name="Hannley-Nov2014" /><ref name="Copeland-Jan2015" /> an [[Software:Action role-playing game|action role-playing game]], on 5 June 2018.<ref name="O'Connor-Feb2018" /> 70% of the studio's 120 employees (in 2016) were devoted to the development of ''Vampyr'', many of whom had worked on ''Life Is Strange''.<ref name="Handrahan-2016" /> ''[[Software:The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit|The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit]]'', set within the ''Life Is Strange'' universe, was announced at E3 2018 and released the same month.<ref name="Farokhmanesh-Jun2018" /> Dontnod started developing ''[[Software:Life Is Strange 2|Life Is Strange 2]]'' in early 2016, after its predecessor proved financially successful,<ref name="Phillips-May2017" /><ref name="Riaz-2015" /><ref name="Porreca-2017" /> with the first episode published on 27 September 2018 and the last on 3 December 2019.<ref name="Phillips-Jun2018" />

Dontnod worked with [[Company:Xbox Game Studios|Xbox Game Studios]] on ''[[Software:Tell Me Why (video game)|Tell Me Why]]'', an episodic 2020 adventure game.<ref name="VanAllen-Nov2019" /> Also in 2020, Dontnod published its first self-owned IP, ''[[Software:Twin Mirror|Twin Mirror]]'' co-developed with [[Company:Shibuya Productions|Shibuya Productions]], which was originally published by Bandai Namco.<ref name="Byrne-2017" /><ref name="Chalk-Jun2019" /> A subsidiary studio in {{wipe|Montreal}}, Canada, was announced in May 2020, adding to its more than 250 employees in France.<ref name="Romano-May2020" /><ref name="Tiraxa-May2020" /> In January 2021, Dontnod announced that [[Company:Tencent|Tencent]] had acquired a minority stake in the company for {{euro|30 million}}, granting the option to appoint a member to their board. The investment will allow Dontnod to continue self-publishing their titles and expand into China and the mobile game sector.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pcgamer.com/tencent-acquires-a-minority-stake-in-life-is-strange-developer-dontnod/|title=Tencent acquires a minority stake in Life is Strange developer Dontnod|first=Steven|last=Messner|website=PC Gamer|date=27 January 2021|access-date=27 January 2021}}</ref> Dontnod stated in April 2021 they plan to expand their self-publishing capabilities to third-party publishing as well, with the first planned title from Copenhagen-based studio PortaPlay.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/379489/Life_is_Strange_dev_Dontnod_is_branching_into_thirdparty_publishing_.php | title = Life is Strange dev Dontnod is branching into third-party publishing | first = Chris | last=  Kerr | date = 8 April 2021 | accessdate = 8 April 2021 | work = Gamasutra }}</ref> In September 2021, Dontnod made their remote work policy (Fully Remote Organization scheme) permanent for all employees.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Wallace|first=Chris|date=2021-09-08|title=DONTNOD introduces permanent work from home policy for all employees - Business News|url=https://www.mcvuk.com/business-news/dontnod-introduces-permanent-work-from-home-policy-for-all-employees/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-09-19|website=MCV/DEVELOP|language=en-GB}}</ref>

== Philosophy ==
Guilbert said in April 2016 that the studio had cast off the ambition of making [[Software:AAA (video game industry)|triple A]] games and would only see themselves devoted to independent projects,<ref name="Farokhmanesh-Apr2016" /><ref name="Audureau-Jun2016" /> in particular, original, narrative-driven intellectual properties, which narrative director Stéphane Beauverger agreed was "part of Dontnod's DNA".<ref name="Barnes-Jun2016" /><ref name="Jarvis-Sep2016" /> The company's guiding principle is to reinvent itself with every game.<ref name="Barnes-Jun2016" /> For the sake of maintaining the motivation of players and publishers, the production cycle since releasing the five-year commitment ''Remember Me'' was reduced to two and a half or three years.<ref name="Dring-Oct2016" /> In 2018, Guilbert said the company would pursue a [[Engineering:Co-production (media)|co-production]] strategy with future publishers, as was done for ''Vampyr'', limiting their part to forty percent.<ref name="Debes-May2018" /> Each project begins with a [[Game design|designer]], writer, and [[Art director|art director]], with the occasional [[Software:Video game producer|producer]] or engineer. Multiple teams work simultaneously on different projects.<ref name="Batchelor-Jul2018" /> "Dontnod Days" are maintained for unsupervised work related to ongoing projects.<ref name="Barnes-Jun2016" />
