About 
Motion Twin

Motion Twin is a cooperative company based in Bordeaux (France) since 2001. Its vocation is the design and development of video games, the latest of which is Dead Cells (Best Action Game - Game Awards 2018).

Motion Twin is currently made up of 7 partners who oversee all aspects of the games developed, beyond their simple technical role. Each partner has a strong impact on the direction of the projects, but also on the direction the company takes. Any new person joining us can eventually apply for the status to share decisions and their consequences, risks and rewards.

We don't have a boss. We're all equal and we wanted that to show, both in the way our games are made and in the way we organise ourselves. So we chose to create a cooperative company. Everyone has a say and we all take home the same salary.

21 years. That's a long time in the indie game space, but we've got no intention of stopping now. Our small team makes one game at a time. We've made over 150 games ranging from one week game jams to year long behemoths. Titles like; My Brute, Die2Nite and Mush, that was us.

No boring days. We make games to fulfill ourselves and be happy when we go to work every morning. We love the feeling of booting up a new game for the first time. It's the same feeling we get when we start a new project. We live and breath this stuff.

Featured Game
s

Dead Cells is a rogue-lite, metroidvania action-platformer. You'll explore a sprawling, ever-changing castle... assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers in 2D souls-lite combat. No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.
