VD-dev

VD-dev (formerly Velez & Dubail Dev. Team) is a French video game development studio founded in 1990. The studio worked on several Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games for Infogrames and Atari.

History

The studio was founded by the programmer Fernando Velez and the graphic designer Guillaume Dubail, working together in game design.^[1] After abandoning a shoot them up concept in 1989, they developed Jim Power in Mutant Planet under the name Digital Concept. They parted ways between 1992 and 1996 due to each one's being drafted on military conscription (Guillaume Dubail worked on Jim Power's graphics after Fernando Velez programmed Mr. Nutz and Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues for Game Boy).They signed their names on the games credits from 1996, as Velez & Dubail Dev. Team from 2002 (V-Rally 3) and eventually as VD-dev from 2007.^[2] In 2013, they were assembled by Frédéric Zimmer, former technical director for Ubisoft''s Watch Dogs.^[3] Fernando Velez died in June 2016 at 46 years old.
