Outerminds is an indie video game developing studio located in Montreal Canada founded in 2014 by Sylvain Savard, Nicolas Brunet-Messier, Alexandre Caron and Guiz de Pessemier.
After creating our first game Tadpole Tap, we entered a game jam organized by YouTube Celebrity PewDiePie and decided to create a game starring the YouTuber himself. He quickly reached out and asked that we expand on it. The result – PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist -would be the start of a long collaboration with PewDiePie.
Since then, Outerminds has made 3 more games including 2 with PewDiePie and has grown from the original skeleton crew to a staff of more than 30. We are currently developing new games for mobile, console, and PC including the highly anticipated Turbo Kid.
