MAKING GAMES

OUR GAME DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

We kick off with our first step,  the ideation phase. In this phase, our team works with you to understand your vision. This includes everything from story design to monetization. We break down every mechanic and system of the game to its most granular detail; this becomes the foundation of our estimate. We then review the document together and make any changes to better align with your vision. Once the estimate is accepted, then the REAL work begins!

DESIGN

Just as a well-constructed house begins with a thoughtful design, a successful game also comes from robust planning. Gameplay, Art, UI/UX, Monetization, Narrative, System Architecture, and others are carefully brainstormed and formalized. This phase is a thrilling period of creativity, where concepts are discussed, prototyped, and the game vision is refined. All details are documented in a comprehensive Game Design Document.

The project starts with you. The first steps are to listen to your vision of your game. During the ideation process, our team breaks down every mechanic and system of the game. At the end of this process we will create an estimate and walk you through it.  We will work together to make sure your vision matches our proposal. Once the estimate is accepted, the process of game creation begins.

DEPLOYMENT

Games truly come to life when players join the experience. Deployment

encompasses rigorous testing by

selected focus groups. Adjustments are made based on feedback. Mobile games make it to iOS/Android stores, PC games head to platforms like Steam, and web games are uploaded to a respective host site. After back-end completes the deployment process, linking up essential monetization/ad accounts, the game is officially released, ready for all to enjoy!

DEVELOPMENT

The phase where concept becomes reality. Code is meticulously written & tested, art is polished & animated, and the game starts taking shape. All aspects outlined in the GDD are systematically brought to life and seamlessly integrated. Continuous testing ensures that all components function as intended and contribute to an enjoyable gaming experience. With each milestone reached, the game steadily approaches completion.

projects

Games based on popular franchises often do well on crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter. A demo version of the game can be built to form the

backbone of a Crowdfunding

Campaign. A demo is limited in scope but high in polish to attract existing and new fans. Built with expansion in mind, the demo

functions as the bones of the final game upon successful funding and allow a quicker turnaround for backers.

Investors fund games in exchange for partial ownership. Outside investments can be a great way to bridge funding gaps, bring other stakeholders onto the project, or even pay for a larger game than owner funding allows. There are

multiple avenues to find investors.
