ABOUT US
DAVILA GAMES is the digital game production company founded by Yuri d'Ávila in 2007 in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, BRAZIL. Yuri worked at DEVWORKS in São Paulo between 2001 and 2002, where he developed the graphical part of games for Web, Mobile, and Video Game Consoles (Mega Drive and Master System). Since then, he began to study and create prototypes of games in Macromedia Flash and Shockwave Director.
WEBGAMES
The first prototype created as DAVILA GAMES was the arcade "Invasor Estelar" in 2007 for PC, using the GameMaker 1.0 engine at the time of its release, which was later rewritten in ActionScript. With the Flash tool, it started creating Webgames such as the unpublished "Resgate Lunar" and those available online like "Mentalize", "Sobra 1", "Encarcerados", "Torneio de Pênault Copa 2010", "Pega Frutas", "Sr. Caça Níqueis", "Cubos e Cores", among others.
UNITY 3D
In 2011, he started developing 3D games using the Unity tool. Some titles were to be produced for PC and Android, but they never progressed beyond the study phase. At the end of 2012, he launched his first Advergames, created in Flash for the international fair Elvis Brasil Experience, the official event of the king of rock, which took place in São Paulo that same year. The games featured integration with Facebook for sending invitations to play, leaderboards with friends in the game, etc.
MOBILE AND PC
In 2021, during the pandemic, he received a proposal to create games for a foreign business company, but he needed to have a portfolio in Unity, which at the time he had nothing concrete. It was then that out of the need to fill this gap, the game CRUSH THE GEMS was created for Android and Windows, in order to have a product to present if a new opportunity like this arose.
RETRO CONSOLES
SPACE PONG COMBAT was the first game to have its programming started in 2019, using tools for creating games for old consoles, specifically the Mega Drive, based on the first tutorial by Andrej Ohsat, Mega Pong, which was being taught at exactly the same time. Looking for more learning and after learning from Danibus's tutorials on tiles and bullet hells, the idea came to create TRUE GALACTIC MISSION, which would be a vertical shooter, unlike the horizontal ones being produced at the time, 2019 (Irenia, Genesis Metal Fury (FR) and Journey To Oblivion (BR)). FORGOTTEN REALITY was already being produced at the same time, since the time of BasiEgaXorz, but the option for an arcade game provided support for a more viable project instead of starting with a more advanced RPG project right away... Bad choice, the gameplay of a ship game is something that must be very well elaborated. In the meantime, through acquired techniques, the project for FORAINGUMAN also emerged when the invitation came in 2021 to port STREET FIGHTER ZERO from arcade CPS boards to the Mega Drive. With the engine created for fighting games, the game LUNATIC FIGHTERS came to life, with the first prototype presented in São Paulo at the Canal 3 Expo 2022. Thus, we embarked on the development of games for the Mega Drive and had successful crowdfunding campaigns, leading to the release of the games LUNATIC FIGHTERS in 2024 and TRUE GALACTIC MISSION in 2025, both for the Mega Drive / Sega Genesis console.
WEBSITE
The DAVILA GAMES website was launched, along with the first Flash games, in 2010 in its first version, acquiring its own domain in 2011, and in 2018 gaining a new 2.0 version with more updated and interactive technology. Now keeping up with the evolution of technology, in 2025 we are launching version 3.0 of our site, focusing more on our Mega Drive games, which is our current bet!
