Ankamas

Ankama is a French company known for its work in video games, animation, and publishing. Founded in 2004 by Anthony Roux, Camille Trouvé, and Emmanuel Darras, the company quickly gained recognition for its distinctive art style and its focus on transmedia storytelling. Their most notable creation is the universe of "Dofus," which encompasses a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), animated series, and comic books.

The company's core philosophy revolves around creating interconnected entertainment experiences. This means that a story or character introduced in a game might be further explored in an animated series or a printed comic, allowing fans to engage with the "Ankama" universe across multiple platforms. This transmedia approach has been a key factor in their success and brand identity.

Beyond "Dofus," Ankama has developed other games such as "Wakfu," another MMORPG set in the same universe but with a different focus and gameplay, and "Krosmaster Arena," a collectible tactical board game with a digital adaptation. Their animation studio has produced several series based on their game properties, including "Dofus: Kerub's Bazaar" and "Wakfu." Ankama also publishes manga and art books that expand their fictional worlds. The company's distinctive visual aesthetic, often characterized by vibrant colors and unique character designs, is a hallmark of their creations.
