FAQ
What does it mean when a game is ported?
Porting a game allows for saving time and expenses since you do not need to develop a game from scratch for another platform. An existing game can be adapted for use on the required platform. A game can be ported either while it is under development or after its release. Porting helps to broaden the audience and reach new markets for less cost.
What do you need to start game porting?
Before porting a game, you should carefully study all the peculiarities of the target platform. Your next step is finding experienced specialists with the certification required for the game to be released. The game will be tested by the platform holders for technical compliance with the standards.
How long does it take to port a game?
When estimating the time required for game porting, you should consider such factors as controls optimization and game complexity, the game architecture, the type of engine, languages, and libraries used etc.
If you want to know how long it will take to port your game, reach out to us now, and our experts will make a thorough analysis and give you feedback.
Is porting a game difficult?
Porting a game is a time-consuming and complex process because every platform as well as every game is unique. For the porting to be successful, it is crucial to start with a thorough analysis of all the requirements and peculiarities. This takes a team of game porting developers who possess deep knowledge and relevant experience.
Why outsource porting your game?
If you opt for outsourcing game porting services, you will get several benefits. Among them are:
Advanced specialists. Choose an outsourcing company that focuses on porting services. They have years of experience and know all the pitfalls of this process. Outsourcing developers will port your game and provide its smooth release on the required platform.
Saving time. It’s better to hire outsourcing developers than try to figure it out yourself in case you do not have enough knowledge and skills. Specialists will complete the tasks much faster so you can free up your time to solve other issues.
Reducing expenses. Experienced game porting developers know where to start and how to approach porting for various platforms. Turning to outsourcing companies is cheaper than having your in-house team because you hire and pay specialists only when required.
How much does porting a game cost?
Game porting costs depend on numerous factors. First, consider who performs the porting – your in-house team or outsourcing developers. The price also varies according to the game’s complexity, the architecture of the required platform, engine, libraries used, controls optimization, your requirements in terms of timing, etc.
