Adeline Software International was a video game developer founded in February 1993 as a subsidiary company of Delphine Software International, and based in Lyon, France. The team mostly came from Infogrames, another French video game company, after a disagreement about sequels of the Alone in the Dark bestseller.

[edit] History

The company employed 21 people including graphic artists, developers and musicians. Five members made up the core of the team: Frédérick Raynal (creative director), Yaël Barroz (computer artist in charge of scenery), Didier Chanfray (artistic director), Serge Plagnol (technical director), and Laurent Salmeron (resource manager).

After the release of Little Big Adventure 2 in 1997, the company slowly went quiet, and in July, the core team was sold to Sega, becoming No Cliché^[1] and leaving Adeline as an empty group within Delphine.

Despite the apparent demise of Adeline, the brand was still used in 2002 by Delphine for the release of Moto Racer Advance for the Game Boy Advance.^[2] However, no members from the original Adeline staff were involved in the development. The Adeline brand was also set to be used for the cancelled game Flashback Legends. The liquidation of Delphine in July 2004 marked the definite death of Adeline.
