Experience

Experience that
shapes our work

Our team has contributed to and shipped projects across PC and console, collaborating with experienced studios and partners.
Snow
Co-Development
SNOW is an open world, free-to-play winter sports game where players explore a vast mountain across a range of disciplines including skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling. As co-developers on the project, we were deeply embedded in the game's ongoing development, working across feature implementation, content updates, level design and world building. We also took on substantial engine work, driving upgrades and technical improvements throughout the project's lifetime. Performance was another key pillar of our involvement, with dedicated work on both general optimization and netcode to keep the multiplayer experience running smoothly.
Hunt: Showdown 1896
External Contribution
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a competitive extraction shooter with atmospheric world design developed by Crytek. As external contributors, we supported the team across UI development and automated testing. The area where we were most heavily involved was performance engineering, contributing extensively to profiling, optimization efforts and the overall performance quality of the game.
Game Engine Expertise
Experience
Real-time engine expertise is at the core of what we do. Our team has accumulated deep, production-proven knowledge across multiple major engines through work on shipped titles and live games, covering everything from engine upgrades and tooling to rendering pipelines, performance optimization and low-level systems engineering.
Engines
CRYENGINE · Unreal Engine · Unity3D
PC & Console
Broad platform skillset
