FAQ

Whether you want a dedicated team of developers or use outsourcing services, game development is a complex area that requires multidimensional knowledge. For example, our custom game development company houses a team of developers, 2D/3D artists, animators, game and UI/UX designers, business analysts, project managers, as well as many other experts in specific niches.

That's why, in most cases, you should address a game development studio because they have all the needed equipment and tools at their disposal. Whenever you plan to launch a game development project, be ready to build a team of professionals, each specializing in their own area of expertise. Taking advantage of this approach, you maximize the odds of ending up with a top-notch game.

Now let’s get into more detail describing each team member you should collect. Or, as a more cost-effective alternative option, have an outsourcing company collect instead of you.

  1. Game designer. This position is one of the most fundamental in any game development project, inasmuch as a person responsible for game design is a so-called director. They stand behind the conceptualization of gameplay mechanics, a project’s general idea and meaning, as well as the story that drives the progress.

  2. Developers. Whatever a game designer comes up with, developers will be busy implementing and integrating with a game engine of the team or client’s choice. In other words, game programmers are responsible for turning all the information written in the game design document (GDD) into code in the form of scripts. If your project is being built using Unity, developers work with the C# programming language (in some specific cases, you may want to employ visual scripting). In case it’s Unreal Engine — they are going to utilize the powers of C++ or the visual scripting technology.

  3. 2D/3D designers & artists. These creative positions imply working with UI/UX and 2D or 3D models of game assets. Both friendly user interfaces and sprites/models are important to make your game successful. The more effort is being put into each piece of environment, character, or prop, the greater the player experience, inasmuch as users feel the intention hidden behind every game asset. On some teams, artists do level design as well, but you can definitely separate the two positions for better work optimization.

  4. Sound designers. Depending on the project scope and scale, you may need one or more designers responsible for recording or selecting and mixing all the sounds used in your game. Whether it’s a door squeaking or a character’s voice, sound designers work in audio editing software.

  5. Project manager. As the name suggests, a project manager manages the entire team and the game project they are working on. In outsourcing projects, a project manager also serves as a communicator bridging the gap between a client and developers, so it’s an incredibly responsible position inside a team.

As you already see, the team composition may vary based on each project’s needs, scale, scope, and budget. But one thing stays the same — you can always contact our team to launch a game development project together. Our specialists will cover all your project requirements and handle everything technical so that you’ll have more control over other aspects.

When it comes to 2D game development services, they usually cost about $10,000-$30,000, depending on the project scope, audience, platform, and so forth. But the budget for a 3D game may vary significantly. From $50,000 to $500,000 and beyond. Nevertheless, our game development company can help you estimate the budget and even save costs once our experts get familiar with your project requirements.

So, the average game development project price can vary greatly depending on the scope of the project, the level of complexity, and the platform it is being developed for. However, some general estimates can be made based on industry trends and past projects. Below there are some noteworthy points.

  • The cost of a game development project can range from $10,000 for a simple mobile game to half a million or more for more complicated products featuring cutting-edge graphics and complex gameplay mechanics.

  • The hourly rate of a game developer can vary from $45 or more, depending on the experience, skills, and location of the developer.

  • The duration of a game development project can range from a few months to more than a year, depending on the size and complexity of the game being developed.

  • The cost of game assets, such as music, sound effects, 3D models, and animations, can also add up quickly as well as vary widely.

  • Other factors that can affect the cost of a game development project include marketing and promotion, testing and quality assurance, localization and translation, ongoing support and updates, etc.

Overall, the cost of a game development project can be a significant investment for a client, but it can also pay off handsomely if the game is successful and profitable. A reputable game development company can help a client navigate the complex process of game development, providing expertise, resources, and experience to ensure the best possible outcome.

For example, at Program-Ace, we offer a wide range of full-cycle game development services, from concept art and design to programming, testing, and publishing. Our team of experienced game developers and designers can create custom games for various platforms, including PC, mobile, VR/AR, and consoles. We use cutting-edge technologies to ensure the highest quality as well as the performance of our games. Our team also provides ongoing support and updates to ensure the longevity and success of our clients' games.

The competitive pricing and transparent communication of Program-Ace allow clients to understand the cost and progress of their projects clearly. You may want to choose Program-Ace's game development services because we have a proven track record of delivering high-quality, engaging, as well as profitable games for various industries, including healthcare, education, entertainment, and more. Ultimately, it's highly recommended that you contact our team and clarify everything you are concerned with for us to create a step-by-step plan as well as start developing your game in the most efficient way.

Everything will depend on the gaming platform, audience, budget, scope, team composition, and other crucial factors. For 3D games, we use game engines like Unreal or Unity, 3D modeling/animation software such as Autodesk Maya, ZBrush, 3ds Max, and the rest. Our developers are familiar with all the top-notch hardware and software solutions, helping them achieve the best results.

Choosing the right tech stack for your game development project is a crucial step in ensuring the success and quality of your future game. The tech stack is the combination of technologies, programming languages, and tools used to build and deploy a game.

Here are some points to consider when choosing the tech stack for your game development project:

  • The platform(s) you want to develop the game for, such as PC, mobile, console, VR/AR, or web. Different platforms may require different technologies and tools.

  • The type of game you want to develop, like 2D, 3D, multiplayer, single-player, casual, or hardcore. Different game types may require other technologies and tools.

  • The team's expertise and experience with different technologies and tools. Choosing a tech stack the team is familiar with can save time and resources in the development process.

  • The performance and scalability requirements of the game. Still, there are technologies that may better suit high-performance, real-time, or multiplayer games.

  • The budget and resources available for the project. Some technologies may be more costly or require more resources than others.

Finally, research and compare different technologies to find the best fit for your requirements, budget, and team's expertise. For example, at Program-Ace, we house a team of experienced game developers and designers proficient in various technologies and tools, including Unity, Unreal Engine, Cocos2d-x, HTML5, and more.

The Program-Ace team uses the latest and most effective tools and technologies to create high-quality, engaging, as well as scalable games for various platforms, including PC, mobile, console, VR/AR, etc. Moreover, we have already embraced such cutting-edge technologies as the metaverse and NFT, allowing us to launch projects in this field as well.

In addition to our technical expertise, we offer a wide range of game development services, including concept art and design, programming, testing, publishing, and ongoing support and updates. Our competitive pricing and flexible payment plans allow clients to choose the services or options that fit their budgets and needs.

Program-Ace also has a proven track record of delivering successful and profitable games for various industries, including healthcare, education, entertainment, and more. We closely cooperate with our clients in order to understand their requirements and goals, recommending the most suitable tech stack for their game development projects. That's why the team is a more valuable asset than a tech stack. It can vary based on each game project. If you need specific information, feel free to contact our specialists and discuss your project.

Since a game design document (GDD) should describe a game whose creation is already planned in detail, it must be specific, coherent, readable, and structured. A too short GDD won't provide all the answers to developers' questions and can't serve as an extensive guide. In turn, a longer game design document can quickly confuse developers who will rely more on their intuition rather than a specific plan on how to build a particular project.

Therefore, the best approach to writing a GDD involves including only the essential elements as well as making them thorough, well-organized, and clean. A GDD is a critical part of the game development process that outlines a game project's vision, scope, and details. A well-written and comprehensive GDD can save time, resources, and effort in the development process, ensuring the quality and success of the game. Taking into account the steps outlined below when creating a good game design document.

  1. Define the concept and vision of your upcoming game, including the genre, setting, theme, and target audience.

  2. Outline the game mechanics, gameplay, and progression without missing the rules, objectives, challenges, and feedback.

  3. Come up with your game's art style, graphics, sound, and music. Do not forget about the character design, environment, UI, and animations.

  4. Identify the technical requirements and limitations of the game, including the platform(s), tools, and programming languages.

  5. Create the level design consisting of the layout, puzzles, enemies, and rewards.

  6. Incorporate a marketing and promotion plan, which encompasses the target market, messaging, and channels.

  7. Include a project plan and timeline, with a particular emphasis on the milestones, deliverables, and resources.

  8. Conduct a budget and cost estimation, including the development, marketing, and post-launch expenses.

At Program-Ace, talented game designers and developers understand the importance of a good game design document in development. We create comprehensive and practical GDDs that meet your vision, scope, and requirements. Our team takes advantage of a collaborative and iterative approach to ensure that the GDD is well-written and structured, with all stakeholders involved as well as informed throughout the process.

In addition to our game design document powers, we offer a wide range of game development services, such as concept art and design, programming, testing, publishing, as well as ongoing support and updates. Program-Ace's game development services provide the most balanced combination of technical expertise, quality, and affordability.

Finally, our portfolio boasts a wide range of successful games for various industries, including healthcare, education, entertainment, and more. We understand that every game development project is unique, so we craft customized solutions that meet their specific needs and budget. Opting for Program-Ace, you can be confident that your game development project is in the hands of reliable professionals dedicated to your success.

Your game platform choice will largely depend on the product itself. If it's, for example, a casual 2D game, the best way of its market positioning may be to launch it on iOS and Android. Without a doubt, in some cases, you may want a cross-platform game, but such an approach requires professional consultation. So it's better to contact our managers and discuss your future game project with us. Only when all the details are clarified can we suggest this or that game platform based on our discussion as well as your preferences.

When creating a game, choosing the right platform is a crucial decision that can significantly impact its success. With so many platforms to choose from, it can take time to know which one is the best fit for your game. Review the considerations below to choose the right platform for your game more effectively:

  • Know your target audience. Understanding the demographics and preferences of your target audience can help you identify the platform they are most likely to use. For instance, if your target audience is primarily young adults, they may prefer playing games on their mobile devices.

  • Consider the game type and mechanics. Certain types of games are better suited for specific platforms. For example, casual puzzle games are popular on mobile devices, while complex 3D games are more prevalent on gaming consoles or PC.

  • Evaluate the technical requirements. Different platforms have varying technical requirements that affect the game's performance, graphics, and functionality. More specifically, VR games require high-end hardware and may not be accessible to all players.

  • Analyze the competition. Research your competitors and see what platforms they use for their games. This can help you identify gaps in the market and find opportunities for your game.

  • Determine your budget. Different platforms have varying costs associated with development, marketing, and publishing. Evaluate your budget and choose a platform that aligns with your financial resources.

  • Think about the user experience. Consider the user experience of playing your game on different platforms. How will the game look and feel to the player, and how will the platform impact their overall experience?

Choosing the right game platform is essential for game developers because it can make or break the success of their game. Different game platforms offer varying capabilities, audiences, and revenue models, making it essential to cherry-pick a suitable platform based on the game's goals and requirements.

Fundamentally, if you want to create a mobile game, consider the features and limitations of mobile devices, such as touchscreen inputs and battery life. Furthermore, research which mobile platforms are the most popular and have the most extensive user base to ensure maximum exposure as well as revenue potential.

Similarly, if your ambition implies developing a PC game, review the capabilities of PCs, such as high-end graphics and processing power. Additionally, identify which distribution platforms, such as Steam or Epic Games Store, have your game genre's most active user base.

Choosing the wrong platform can result in limited exposure, poor revenue, and negative user feedback. In other words, a mobile game that is not optimized for touchscreen inputs or drains the battery quickly will not be well-received by mobile users. Similarly, a PC game not optimized for high-end graphics or limited distribution may not succeed significantly.

As a result, picking the right game platform is crucial for game developers to maximize the potential success of their games. Thorough research and consideration of the game's goals and requirements are essential to decide which platform is the best fit. Contact us for more personal consultation and assistance. Together, we can make stunning game projects!
