Our story

Seven years building games
for Europe's brands.

Founded in 2019 in Brittany then structured in SASU in Angoulême in 2025, Craft Your Games offers a dedicated offer for custom games. Two EU production sites, a multidisciplinary team, a clear reason to be: to accompany our customers towards an ethical and eco-designed game.

Joeffrey Costa, founder of Craft Your Games

I founded Essentials with the conviction that a company must be a lever of the ecological transition. I have been engaged as a citizen for a long time and I am driven by the desire to act concretely for a more sustainable future. My intuition, combined with this determination, guides every action I take.
