Delivery Blueprint

How We Build Your Mobile Game

Our mobile game development process is milestone-based: you approve each phase before we move forward. We validate early on real iOS and Android devices—with QA running continuously—so performance and store compliance are built in from day one.

Week 1

Discovery

We confirm platform, genre, monetization model, and target device tiers (mid-range Android + mid-tier iOS). We lock the engine and backend approach early to avoid costly mid-production changes.

Weeks 2–4

Prototype on Real Devices

We deliver a playable prototype of the core loop on physical devices (not just a simulator). This helps validate feel, performance, and controls before full production.

Weeks 5–20

Sprint-Based Development

Development runs in sprints with regular demos and device builds. Systems like monetization and LiveOps are built alongside gameplay, not bolted on later..

Weeks 21–22

QA, Certification & Submission

We complete device testing, performance checks (frame rate, memory, load times), and App Store / Google Play compliance reviews. Submission assets (screenshots, preview video, store metadata) are prepared in parallel to reduce launch delays.

Post-Launch

Live Ops & SDK Maintenance

We manage seasonal content updates, OS compatibility testing, and SDK updates. Mobile platforms change often, so ongoing maintenance keeps your game stable and compliant.

Portfolio

Mobile Games We Have Shipped

Four mobile game development company projects — casual, RPG, multiplayer, and competitive genres — each with a different engine, monetisation model, and platform challenge.

Unity iOS / Android Casual LiveOps

Casual Puzzle — iOS & Android

Cross-platform casual puzzle game shipped on iOS and Android. We built A/B testing for core loop variations during prototype — before locking final mechanics. Day-7 retention hit 38% at soft launch — above the 32% casual genre benchmark. Furthermore, the A/B infrastructure let us tune the core loop without app updates post-launch.

Why SDLC Corp

Why Choose Our Mobile Game Development Company

What separates SDLC Corp as a mobile game development company from generalist agencies — and why studios and startups return after their first project.

Mobile-First Performance Engineering

We profile against mid-range Android hardware from sprint one — it is non-negotiable on every build. 70% of mobile players are on mid-range hardware — flagship-only optimisation produces games that fail in the real market. This is the single biggest technical differentiator between specialist mobile studios and generalists.

App Store & Play Store Expertise

iOS and Android submission, review handling, and metadata optimisation are part of our service — not a client handoff task. Store algorithms reward specific metadata patterns, so we optimise listings alongside gameplay.

Monetisation Built In, Not Bolted On

Economy systems, IAP flows, and ad placements are designed during GDD — before art production locks — and validated at prototype stage. Revenue design retrofitted after launch consistently underperforms economy-first design.

Day-30 Retention as a Design Requirement

We build A/B testing, push alerts, and remote config during production. Your day-30 retention target becomes a production spec — not a post-launch hope. Your game ships with a retention system, not just a game.

Full Source Code — No Lock-In

You own 100% of your mobile game project — Unity scenes, native code, backend services, and build pipelines. Every deliverable transfers to you on final payment — you own it outright.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does mobile game development take?

A hyper-casual prototype takes 2–4 weeks. A full casual mobile game runs 3–6 months. A mid-core RPG with live economy runs 9–14 months. A cross-platform multiplayer title runs 12–18 months. Timeline is driven by feature depth, art quality, and backend complexity — not engine choice. We confirm scope and timeline during discovery before any production commitment.

How much does mobile game development cost?

A hyper-casual game costs $15k–$40k. A full casual mobile title costs $40k–$120k. A mid-core game with live economy costs $120k–$350k. A cross-platform multiplayer title starts at $350k+. The primary cost driver is feature depth and art quality — not engine licensing. Contact us for a line-item estimate within 48 hours of submitting your GDD or brief.

Unity or Unreal Engine for mobile?

Unity is the right choice for most mobile games — strongest mobile optimisation tools, broadest device coverage, largest mobile-specific talent pool. Unreal Engine suits high-fidelity mid-core mobile where visual quality is the primary differentiator. Native Swift/Kotlin is right when performance demands exceed any game engine. We confirm the engine during discovery — reversing this mid-production is the most expensive mistake in mobile development.

Do we get full source code ownership?

Yes. Full source code transfers on final payment — Unity project files, native iOS/Android code, backend services, and build pipelines. Everything transfers on final payment, with no lock-in of any kind. We provide full technical docs so your team can maintain and extend the codebase after handover.
