Elseware Experience is a development studio that began its history around the creation of mods on the Source Engine from Valve Software. After the release of two of them which have received public appreciation (multiple thousands of download from all platforms); the studio is moving towards the creation of projects on a larger scale. Thanks to the mixture of its technical know-how and its knowledge of game engines, the team knows an international success in terms of architectural visualization in real time and then focuses initially on the realization of a large number of these. The studio then embarks on the creation of serious games in virtual reality for educational purposes with the objective of educating citizens about ecological problematic (the preservation of bees or the issues around pollution). These works were the fruit of a collaboration with the European Union and are showcased in many museums around the world.
