Overview
Play is a powerful way to engage
A well-made game or interactive experience holds attention in a way few other formats can. Brands use them to launch products, organisations use them to teach, and studios use them to tell stories rooted in a particular place.
We work through the core idea with you first: who the players are, what they do, why they come back and what the experience needs to achieve. That shapes a playable prototype early, so the fun can be tested before art and content are produced at scale.
From there we build for the platforms that matter to your audience, whether that is an instantly playable browser game shared by link or a mobile title. Publishing, ownership and any revenue arrangements are agreed clearly in the contract.
What we make
Games and interactive experiences, designed and engineered end to end
Game design, art direction and engineering under one roof, scaled to a campaign mini-game or a full title.
Casual and web games
Lightweight games that run in the browser and can be shared with a link, suited to campaigns, events and social sharing.
- Browser-playable builds
- Shareable links
- Leaderboards, where in scope
Mobile games
Games designed for touch and small screens, planned with the requirements of app store publishing in mind.
- Touch-first controls
- Device testing
- Store submission support
Gamified campaigns and learning
Quizzes, challenges and reward mechanics that make marketing campaigns, onboarding or training more engaging.
- Quizzes and challenges
- Points and rewards
- Results reporting
Interactive 3D experiences
Explorable 3D scenes, product viewers and visualisations that run in the browser, with assets prepared for the web.
- 3D product viewers
- Explorable scenes
- Web-optimised assets
Art direction and assets
A visual style for characters, environments and interface, produced in-house or coordinated with illustrators and artists you choose.
- Visual style guides
- 2D and 3D asset production
- Sound and music coordination
Methodology
From concept to release
A playable prototype comes early, so the fun is proven before art and content are produced at scale.
- Step 01
Step 1: Concept
Audience, goals, core loop and the feeling the game should create, captured in a short concept document.
- Step 02
Step 2: Prototype
A rough but playable version of the core mechanic, tested early to prove it is fun before full production.
- Step 03
Step 3: Production
Art, levels, audio and features are produced in cycles, with a playable build at the end of each one.
- Step 04
Step 4: Playtest and polish
Playtesting with real players, balancing, bug fixing and performance work on target devices.
- Step 05
Step 5: Release
Web launch or store submission, launch support and any post-release updates you have agreed.

Questions
Questions about game projects
Straight answers to the questions we hear most often.
Can you build a game for both web and mobile?
Often, yes. Many games can share most of their code across browser and mobile builds. The right approach depends on the type of game, the controls and how players will find it, which we decide together at the concept stage.
Do you publish games on the app stores for us?
We can prepare builds, store listings and submission materials, and support you through the review process. Apps are normally published under your own developer accounts, and store approval is decided by the store operators, not by us.
Who owns the game and its artwork?
Ownership of code, artwork, characters and other assets is agreed explicitly in the contract for each project. If third-party assets, fonts or music are used, their licences are identified and confirmed with you.
Will the game run smoothly on older phones?
We set target devices with you at the start and test on representative hardware throughout production. Visual detail is adjusted to suit those targets, but we do not promise a specific frame rate on every possible device.
How much does a game cost to make?
Cost varies widely with scope, art style, number of levels and platforms. A short campaign game and a full mobile title are very different projects. We provide a proposal after an initial concept conversation.
