Looking for a long-term partner who works as an extension of your team?

F.A.Q.

What experience do you have?

We provide full-cycle art and tech services for games, from 2D and 3D art and animation to tech art, VFX, and QA.
Our team creates beautiful, well-optimized game art for some of the world’s best-selling titles and has experience working with many different pipelines.
We help our partners avoid scaling challenges so their internal teams can stay focused on the project.

How do you ensure quality control?

Quality is built into every stage of our pipeline. All assets go through internal reviews, peer feedback, and project lead checks. We combine discipline leads with dedicated QA processes to make sure deliverables match both artistic vision and technical requirements.

Do you have experience working with NDA / sensitive IP?

Yes. We have extensive experience working under strict NDAs and with sensitive IP from major publishers. Data security, confidentiality, and compliance with partner requirements are an integral part of our workflow.

At what stage of development can you join a project?

We can support projects at any stage. At the early phase, when art style and pipelines are still being defined, we share our expertise to help shape workflows and establish production pipelines.
During full production or LiveOps, we adapt to existing styles and technical frameworks, ensuring seamless integration without disrupting established processes.

How do you start a project?

Here’s a step by step description of the workflow: first, we sign an NDA and collect info about your project, we’ll schedule an intro call, prepare a tailored proposal, run a test task if needed, confirm the plan, and begin work together, as your production partner.

What is your team structure on a project?

The exact team setup depends on the project’s scale and the partner’s needs, but we typically follow a structured approach.
A standard project team includes a Project Manager, Department Lead, Team Lead, and Artists with additional members joining larger teams to help maintain quality standards and ensure smooth collaboration.
Each role has clear responsibilities, from big-picture planning and art direction to day-to-day reviews and team productivity, ensuring both creative quality and efficient delivery.
