Meet the Dewavrin brothers Tanguy and Jérôme. Jérôme is the business strategy and tech expert, after 15 years advising brands and startups on their tech & business strategies, he now helps Atom’s clients in their gaming and tech strategy. Jérôme holds an MBA from INSEAD, is a former management consultant, launched 2 startups, and Atom Stars is his 3rd business. He started playing video games on Commodore 64 at the age of 5, because of his big brother Tanguy.
Tanguy has been in the video game industry for 3 decades, and created his first game at the age of 17. Creative genius, he kept pushing the boundaries of gaming and virtual worlds. He worked on the first virtual world back in 1996. 10 years ago he created his own virtual world which is still leader on PlayStation, with over 2 million downloads.
Dan is the CTO of Atom Stars. He is a veteran in the gaming industry, with over 15 years of experience. He even created his own studio, with 13 games published. He always majored at university and was living in the future. Fun fact, he built a games streaming solution at the end of his master, in 2005. Back in the days, the term games streaming was not even coined!

We’re a team of senior experts in gaming technologies and product design.
The mission of Atom Stars is to bring you the best of the gaming world: the latest cutting edge gaming technologies, the creative DNA of the best games producers and the business acumen from the best business strategy consultants.
At Atom stars, we love solving strategic business problems with gaming solutions and technologies. We know how to make it work, how to make it fun and how to make it beautiful.
Our company first established its reputation with the launch of successful virtual worlds on console, already long before the so-called “metaverse” hype, and still there long after, with millions of downloads and happy gamer communities.
Let’s make it fast
By working with Atom Stars, you make the smart choice of saving years of development. We have the team, the experience and even the technologic blocs already developed so that you don’t have to.
Whether you want a branded game in 30 days, a smart AI avatar solution in a kiosk in 2 months, a custom virtual world for your community in 3 months, we can make it happen.
Our seniority and ready made assets means that games, apps and entire worlds for millions of people can be built in a few weeks.
In terms of graphics, we like to use the Unreal Engine (used to build games like Matrix awakens) and we leverage decades of experience in building games for the biggest names in the industry.
Manifesto for positive gamification
With the idea of gaming often comes a lot of fear and fantasy. We’ve all come across this image of Zuckerberg walking the alleys in the middle of a crowd of hundreds of guests with oculus headsets… No, we don’t want our kids to be addicted to games. Neither are we interested in Elon Musk’s proposal to implant a chipset in our brain to experience the Metaverse, no thanks!
And when we look at the toxicity of Web 2, the effect of social media is disastrous. Did you know that 62% of GenZ declare to have been targeted with online bullying, abuse or harassment!? The last thing we want is to create a 3D version of Facebook!
So how can we have a positive approach to making games? As builders, our mission is to empower brands to create meaningful experiences, and to connect people around the world. Without the toxicity of the so called Web 2.
That’s why we constantly work to provide the tools for better moderation, and prevent bad behavior, such as bullying or harassment.
We believe that the saying “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” applies in the gaming world! We know how to build communities and empower community leaders within games, who are benevolent, and want to keep the community safe. We partner with the best technology providers, and will keep fighting bad behaviors. From moderation and monitoring to automatic real time alerts, we keep providing the best practices and tools to improve continuously, and ensure a safe environment for all.
Regarding addictions to video games, we know the mechanisms that can trigger addictions and we don’t push for them. Gaming should be fun, entertaining and social. But it shouldn’t be addictive.
And how sad would it be to make the real world a place where everyone becomes lazy, staying home just playing games online. As builders, we need to remind our communities that it is always better to meet people in real life, go out and exercise, and spend time with friends and family in the real world. But sometimes it is not possible, then it's just fun to gather in a digital space, be it a Zoom or a gamified world.
Without being dogmatic, as immersive technologies will grow, we all need to build responsible environments and look for a positive impact on mental health, society and the environment. It is only the beginning.
For any ideas, projects and proposals to make gamification more positive for society, please reach out.
