How Our Approach Works in Practice

Festival Game Development Challenge

The Challenge: A client wanted to create a festival-themed game for an October event but struggled with capturing the celebratory atmosphere while maintaining simple, accessible gameplay.
Our Approach: We focused on designing mechanics that naturally encouraged group participation, using bright visual themes and sound design that evoked celebration. We prioritized intuitive controls that new players could grasp within seconds while adding depth for continued engagement.
The Outcome: The game launched at the event in early November, with players averaging 12 minutes of engagement per session. Event organizers reported high satisfaction, and 68% of players indicated they would seek out the game again at future events.

Social Features Integration Project

The Challenge: An existing arcade game had solid individual gameplay but lacked features to help players connect with each other, resulting in limited community formation.
Our Approach: We implemented a friend list system, in-game gifting, and cooperative challenge modes that worked within the existing game structure. Each feature was designed to feel natural rather than forced, enhancing rather than disrupting the core gameplay experience.
The Outcome: Following the late November update, the client reported a 42% increase in daily active users and a significant rise in session length. Players began forming small communities around the game, with friend connections growing steadily week over week.

Gamescom Preparation Success

The Challenge: A small studio had developed a promising game but felt uncertain about how to present it at Gamescom, their first major industry event.
Our Approach: We helped them optimize their booth layout for maximum engagement, prepared a clear demo flow that highlighted the game's unique qualities, and coordinated meeting schedules with relevant industry contacts. We focused on authentic presentation rather than overselling.
The Outcome: The studio reported having meaningful conversations with 23 potential partners and publishers during the event. Three of these conversations led to ongoing discussions, and the confidence gained from a well-prepared presence has influenced their approach to future events.

What to Expect During Development

Initial Phase

Foundation Building

During the first weeks, we establish the technical framework and core mechanics. You'll see prototypes that demonstrate the fundamental gameplay loop and begin to visualize how your vision translates into playable form.

Most projects spend 2-3 weeks here, laying groundwork that supports everything that follows.

Development Phase

Feature Implementation

The game comes to life as we add features, polish mechanics, and integrate art and sound. This is where you'll see regular progress updates and have opportunities to provide feedback that shapes the final experience.

This phase typically runs 4-6 weeks depending on project scope and complexity.

Refinement Phase

Polish & Launch Preparation

Final testing, bug fixes, and optimization ensure smooth performance. We prepare launch materials and, if applicable, event presentation strategies. You'll have a game ready to meet your players or stakeholders.

The final 1-2 weeks focus on quality assurance and launch readiness.

Beyond Initial Launch

The completion of development is just the beginning of a game's life. What happens after launch often matters as much as the development process itself. Our approach considers this from the start, building games with sustainability in mind.

Games developed with clean architecture and thoughtful design continue to perform well over time. Social features that genuinely serve player needs keep communities active. Event preparation that focuses on authentic connections leads to ongoing industry relationships.

Lasting Player Communities

Games with well-implemented social features see continued player engagement months after launch. Communities form organically around shared gaming experiences, creating value that extends far beyond initial play sessions.

Maintainable Codebase

Clean, documented code allows for future updates and expansions without starting from scratch. Technical decisions made during development determine how adaptable your game remains as needs evolve.

Industry Relationships

Connections made through well-prepared event presentations often develop into lasting professional relationships. A strong first impression at Gamescom can open doors for years to come.

Continued Support

We remain available after launch to address questions, provide guidance on updates, or discuss expansion possibilities. Your success with the game continues to matter to us.

Why These Results Last

Foundation in Solid Development Practices

We prioritize code quality, performance optimization, and architectural decisions that support long-term stability. Games built on solid technical foundations continue working reliably, requiring less maintenance and providing better experiences for players.

Player-Centered Design Philosophy

Features that genuinely serve player needs create lasting value. When social systems help players actually connect, when festival themes truly evoke celebration, when mechanics remain enjoyable through repeated play—these elements sustain engagement naturally.

Thoughtful Preparation Approach

Success at events like Gamescom comes from authentic preparation. We focus on helping you present your actual strengths effectively rather than creating unsustainable impressions. Relationships built on honest presentation tend to develop into meaningful partnerships.

Ongoing Partnership Mindset

We view each project as the beginning of a relationship rather than a transaction. Being available for questions, providing guidance on growth opportunities, and maintaining interest in your continued success creates conditions for lasting positive outcomes.

Results Rooted in Experience and Care

Our track record in arcade and simple game development reflects a commitment to understanding what makes games work—both technically and experientially. Based in München's vibrant gaming community, we've developed festival games that capture celebratory spirit, social features that facilitate genuine player connections, and event preparation strategies that help studios shine at Gamescom.

The results our clients experience come from combining technical knowledge with empathy for players. We understand that behind every statistic is a player enjoying a game, connecting with friends, or discovering something new at an event. These human experiences drive the numbers, and keeping them central to our development approach is what makes sustainable success possible.

Whether you're looking to create a festival game that brings joy to participants, build social features that help players form lasting communities, or prepare for your first major industry event, the outcomes depend on thoughtful development guided by clear understanding of your goals and your players' needs.
