Game Engineering

We provide services to develop products and tools to bring to life the artists designs. This includes

Animation, Lighting, Shading, Visualization Tools and Rendering.

We combine Game Design with User Experience to create

experiences across multiple platforms. We take these

experiences to non-gaming and gaming contexts, seeking to engage users and achieve

business goals through fun and play.

We create and expand centralized platforms for cross

platform developments. A digital platform consists of a

coherent technical offer to access a universe of distant,

interactive or non-interactive services which can be

broadcasted or supplied on-line.

We develop full games and features for multiple platforms:

(Social, PC, Mobile, Console). We streamline the development

process creating feature-rich products around the core IP.We co-develop AAA games

working directly for world-class video game developers.

Why Using a Cross Platform Framework?

Reduces costs and development timeLeverage existing game codebase

OSX, Windows, iOS, Android

• C# - Large talent pool• Strong Flexible Editor• Large Community

• Expensive Licenses per Platform• You can't make leverage of existing game

code if it's not made with Unity• Extra platform features like IAPs require

native code

Dead Trigger, Temple Run, Shadow Run

$1500 Unity Pro +$1500 iOS +$1500 Android

2 weeks 16 weeks 3 weeks

iOS, Android, BlackBerry PlayBook, Windows, Mac OSX, LG Smart TV

• Makes leverage of existing C++ game codebase

• Proprietary IDE• Compiles to native code

Cut the Rope, Plants vs Zombies, Call of Duty: Black Ops

$499 to $3499 per seat per year

• C++ has a steep ramp up• No game editor (IDE)

• Free (but Xamarin needed for iOS)• Makes leverage of existing C# game
