We have experience developing original IP as well as working with licensed and/or franchise IP, from Titan Quest to the Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six series. Having worked on just about every platform (handhelds, consoles, PC’s, mobile) and at just about every scale (casual games to MMO’s), we can help identify problems and provide concrete solutions.
