Frima Studio
Encyclopedia
Based in Quebec City
and founded in 2003, Frima Studio is a Canadian multiplatform game developer
. The studio develops products across multiple platforms, including the Web
, console
, handheld, iPhone
, iPad
, TV and mobile. Frima also develops technologies focusing on game development and data analysis.
Frima opened a second studio in Matane
in 2010.
Frima has been noted as one of the fastest-growing companies in Canada
.
To date, Frima has developed 12 MMOGs/Virtual Worlds, two dozen Console and Smartphone titles, over 80 Mobile games, and more than 200 Flash games.
in 2003 by Steve Couture, Philippe Bégin and Christian Daigle, Frima Studio has proved to be a successful journey for these three entrepreneurs looking to build quality video games in the midst of the dotcom crash
. Originally, the name Frima comes from the French word “frimas,” which is the layer of frost that forms around windows during winter. This is due to the fact that the studio made its debut in the poorly-insulated apartment that the three founders shared. It is from these premises that the production of Flash games for Hollywood brands such as Harry Potter
and Looney Tunes
allowed the business to develop and make a name for itself.
In 2010, with the opening of a second studio in Matane, Frima counted some 265 full-time employees, and showed no signs of slowing down. Later that year, Frima Studio became the beneficiary of a $2 million joint investment between Frima and the Government of Quebec to fund employee training, the creation of 147 new jobs over the next three years, and the maintenance of 201 pre‐existing production‐oriented jobs.
