Success Stories
Mobile Puzzle Game Launch for a US-Based Startup
Industry: Mobile Gaming
Client Overview: A San Francisco-based startup, "Innovate Play," secured seed funding to develop a unique, story-driven puzzle game. They had a strong concept and design team but lacked the in-house engineering and art production capacity to build the game from the ground up for both iOS and Android.
Problem
Innovate Play needed a reliable development partner to take their detailed Game Design Document (GDD) and turn it into a polished, market-ready mobile game within a tight 6-month timeline and a fixed budget. They were concerned about quality, communication with an offshore team, and the risk of scope creep derailing their launch.
Key Challenges
- Building a complex puzzle mechanic that was both intuitive and challenging.
- Creating a scalable backend to support leaderboards and future multiplayer features.
- Optimizing performance and memory usage across a wide range of iOS and Android devices.
- Implementing a free-to-play monetization model with in-app purchases and rewarded ads.
Our Solution
Developers.dev assembled a dedicated POD (Product-Oriented Delivery) team consisting of a project manager, two Unity developers, a 3D artist, and a QA engineer. We established a shared Slack channel and daily stand-ups to ensure seamless communication.
- Developed a rapid prototype in Unity to validate the core puzzle mechanic within the first month.
- Used AWS serverless architecture for a cost-effective and scalable backend solution.
- Implemented a rigorous, device-based QA process using our internal device farm to ensure stability.
- Integrated SDKs for IAP, analytics, and ad mediation, providing the client with a full suite of tools to manage their game post-launch.
Co-Development of an AAA FPS Title for a Major Publisher
Industry: PC & Console Gaming
Client Overview: A well-known European game publisher was in the middle of developing their flagship AAA first-person shooter (FPS) title. Their internal team was stretched thin, and they faced a critical bottleneck in level design implementation and multiplayer systems programming, threatening their announced release date.
Problem
The publisher needed to rapidly scale their development team with experienced Unreal Engine 4 developers who could integrate seamlessly into their existing, complex production pipeline. They required specialists in C++, multiplayer networking, and level scripting who could get up to speed quickly without disrupting the core team's workflow.
Key Challenges
- Integrating with a large, existing codebase and proprietary toolset.
- Working securely within the client's high-security version control system (Perforce).
- Collaborating effectively across multiple time zones with the core team in Europe.
- Delivering high-quality, optimized code that met AAA performance standards for PC and PS5.
Our Solution
We provided a Staff Augmentation team of six senior Unreal Engine developers and two QA engineers. The team was handpicked for their specific experience in FPS and multiplayer games. We set up a secure, dedicated VPN and provided the team with hardware that matched the client's development environment.
- Our developers took full ownership of implementing three multiplayer maps, from blockout to final scripting.
- We developed a new weapon balancing and customization system, working directly with the client's lead designer.
- Our QA team focused on multiplayer stress testing and performance profiling on console dev kits.
- We maintained a 4-hour overlap with the European team's workday for real-time collaboration and reviews.
Enterprise Gamification Platform for Employee Training
Industry: Corporate Learning & Development
Client Overview: A Fortune 500 consulting firm, "Global Strategy Inc.," wanted to replace their outdated, text-based compliance training modules with an engaging, interactive gamified platform. The goal was to increase employee engagement, improve knowledge retention, and track completion rates more effectively.
Problem
The client needed a partner who understood not just game development but also the principles of corporate e-learning and enterprise-grade security. The platform had to be web-based, accessible on all devices, and integrate with their existing HR information system (HRIS) for user authentication and progress tracking.
Key Challenges
- Designing game mechanics (points, badges, leaderboards) that were motivating but not distracting.
- Ensuring the platform was SCORM compliant and could host various types of training content.
- Building secure API integrations with the client's on-premise HRIS.
- Creating a flexible content management system (CMS) for the L&D team to add new modules without developer help.
Our Solution
We approached this as a full-cycle web application project with a gamification focus. Our team used React for the front-end to create a responsive and interactive user experience, and Node.js for the backend to handle the APIs and game logic.
- We conducted workshops with the client's L&D team to co-design the core gamification loop.
- Built a custom, headless CMS allowing them to easily create new training "quests" with quizzes and interactive scenarios.
- Developed a secure API gateway to handle authentication and data synchronization with their HRIS.
- The platform was designed with detailed analytics dashboards for managers to track team progress and identify knowledge gaps.
