Which platforms do you build for?
We build for Android, iOS and PC, using Unity or Unreal Engine depending on the genre, target devices and visual style of your game.
Can you join a project that is already in progress?
Yes. We start with a short review of your build, codebase and assets, then agree which areas we take over or support.
How do we get started?
Send us a message with your idea, references and timeline. We reply with questions, then a proposed scope, plan and estimate.
Do you support the game after launch?
Yes. We offer ongoing LiveOps — bug fixes, performance work, new content and events — so your game keeps improving.
