Looking for a ‘partner in game’ or better to say game development? And do you know how to make the right choice when looking for quality in the industry of game development services? We do! Let’s check it out together.

There are definitely pros and cons to each choice that we make. Choosing the game development outsourcing studio is one of the ways to enhance and boost the processes and overall experiences of creating a game. 

To begin with, in choosing the best game developers, it is important to understand why and what one needs an outsourcing vendor. Let’s continue with the following questions that might help you to make this decision. They are:

1. Do you know how to create a game? 
2. What kind of game setting, genre, and platform do you require?
3. Do you already have a game story? Do you require game development outsourcing services with a full cycle pipeline?
4. Are you looking for not only a one-time game development service provider, but also a long-term partner ‘in game’? 
5. Or maybe you would like to have a top-hat blockchain, NFT game, or develop a video game? 
6. Do you already have a project scope?
7. What is your approximate budget?

In fact, it is absolutely no problem if you can’t answer half those questions because game development companies can do it for you too. So, at least initially, the main question remains the budget. 

As the Game Development Industry continues to grow, the need for game development outsourcing may also be rising. Outsourcing a game basically means that the vendor develops a project partially or as a whole. You delegate for several reasons and expect to get things done efficiently. What else do you get?

1. A team of skilled game development experts that specialize in the particular engine, setting, and game genre you require.
2. A cheaper alternative to development processes or, in other words, a cost-friendly game development service.
3. Flexibility and broader options.
4. No need to have control over things (unless you really want it), so you could implement several projects at a time.
5. No need to spend your own resources, and your workload decreases. 

As a result, vendors do processes of development faster and better because they are keen to improve the cost-effectiveness and delivery efficiency. 

Taken from experience, our clients can save a lot of time depending on the job title of specialists. This time is saved due to the search, hiring, and onboarding of the team or particular specialists – engineers, DevOps, 2D and 3D artists and animators, project managers, level designers, etc. 

To gain a win, not a frustration, there are several things one should pay attention to before choosing the game development agency to work with. Among the variety of all possible qualities that the potential game development outsourcing should have, we suggest:

Proven Track Record of Successfully Delivered Projects 

One of the best-proven tracks is the number of years the company has operated in the field. This means that it has the necessary experience, has been dealing with trusted clients, can generate and grow a team, and sustain and flourish. 

Extensive Technological Expertise

The game development industry itself is largely driven by expertise and skills: for example, Unity, Unreal Engine, C++, C# and Java game development proven track records are most valuable for game developers. 

List of Clients 

Here we mean the list of clients that the outsource game development company has worked with before. The clients’ list may be relevant if you already have a clear idea of what your game should look like. In this case, the prospective game development outsourcing provider might already have relevant experience to meet your requirements. 

How much does it cost to hire a game development company?

Game development might also have different pricing as to the game. The more complex the game, the higher the pricing. However, the costs are still more efficient than on-site processes when outsourcing game development. Every studio has its own rates, discounts, and pipelines, so you should contact them first to receive a proposal.

The Deloitte Global Outsourcing Survey shows cost reduction as #1 objective for any outsourcing project. Outsourcing allows companies to minimize the expenses associated with bringing new staff members and talents onboard.

Portfolio in game development demonstrates and proves real-life experience in the specific game development settings: post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, fantasy, battlefield, sports, steampunk, etc. This is something worth checking out while choosing the best game development agency for outsourcing.
