What are game co-development services?

Game co-development services are a collaboration model where an external studio works alongside your internal team to build specific features or modules. StudioKrew co-develops gameplay systems, multiplayer, UI, tools, art pipelines, QA, and LiveOps while you retain full IP ownership and creative control.

How is game co-development different from game development outsourcing?

Outsourcing typically means a vendor builds a game end-to-end or a large portion independently. Co-development is more integrated: the co-dev team works inside your repos, follows your coding standards, participates in sprint rituals, and delivers feature ownership aligned with your milestones.

Which engines and platforms do you support for co-development?

We support Unity and Unreal Engine co-development for Android/iOS, PC (Steam-ready), WebGL/HTML5, and console co-development support. We also help with cross-platform adaptation and performance tuning where required.

How do you manage communication, builds, and reporting during co-development?

We run sprint-based delivery with shared task tracking, regular playable builds, code reviews, clear changelogs, and release checklists. You get transparent progress reporting and predictable delivery aligned with your milestone plan.

How much do game co-development services cost?

Cost depends on feature scope, engine/platform, multiplayer/backend needs, art complexity, and timeline. We offer milestone-based fixed pricing for defined modules and retainer/dedicated-team models for ongoing co-development and LiveOps.
