Video Game Development Company - Concept to Live Operations

Timeline depends on platform, genre, and scope. For example, a hyper-casual mobile game can launch in 6–10 weeks. A mid-core or PC title, however, typically runs 4–9 months depending on feature depth. A full AAA or console production runs 12–24 months. Because every project is different, we deliver a scoped timeline with milestones in the discovery phase before committing to full production. As a result, clients always know what to expect before work begins.

Costs range from $15k–$60k for a lean mobile launch, $60k–$200k for a growth-stage cross-platform title, and $200k+ for full production or console work. Because every game is different, final scope and cost are confirmed in the discovery phase. These ranges give you a reliable starting point for budget planning. Although scope can change during development, our milestone structure means you approve every major decision before we proceed.

Both. We work as a full-cycle partner on new IP and as a co-development studio integrating into existing pipelines. We also take over LiveOps, QA, or porting work on live titles. Because our team covers engineering, art, and QA under one roof, clients can bring us in at any stage of their game without rebuilding their entire vendor relationship. In either case, you retain full ownership of all deliverables.

You do. Full source code ownership transfers to you on final payment — no lock-in, no revenue share, no licensing fees. In addition, all intellectual property rights transfer to you on final payment. Because ownership matters from the start, we confirm this in writing before discovery begins. Unlike some studios that retain licensing rights, we place no restrictions on how you use, modify, or distribute the code after handoff.

Yes. Because IP protection matters from the first conversation, we sign a mutual NDA before any technical discussion begins. In addition, all project deliverables transfer full intellectual property rights to you on final payment. We also operate under strict internal access controls so that only the team members assigned to your project can view your code, assets, or documentation.

We work primarily in Unity and Unreal Engine 5. Engine selection is based on your platform and budget rather than our internal tooling preference. For example, Unity suits mobile, cross-platform, and casual to mid-core builds particularly well. Unreal Engine 5, however, is better suited for high-fidelity PC and console targets. Because the wrong engine choice is difficult to reverse mid-project, we confirm the engine during discovery before production begins.

Yes. First-party console certification — Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo — is managed as part of our delivery scope. App Store and Google Play submission are included in all mobile projects. Because certification failures delay launch and cost money, our QA gates are structured to catch platform compliance issues before the first submission. As a result, our projects rarely require more than one certification attempt.

We are a full-cycle video game development company with 400+ professionals across engineering, art, QA, and live operations. Unlike task-based outsourcing vendors, we take production ownership from GDD through store submission and post-launch LiveOps. Because delivery accountability matters more than team size, we structure every engagement around clear milestones, weekly builds, and client sign-off at every stage. Full source code ownership is included on every project, regardless of engagement model.
