Hire Dedicated Resources

Costs vary by region, seniority, role, and project complexity. Below are conservative monthly ranges (USD) per full-time dedicated resource and the main cost drivers to give you an idea.

• Estimated monthly ranges (per FTE):
  • Junior developer / QA: $1,500 - $3,000
  • Mid-level developer / artist / designer: $3,000 - $6,000
  • Senior developer / lead / specialist (network, backend, blockchain): $6,000 - $10,000+
  • Project Manager / Technical Lead: $4,000 - $9,000
• Project cost examples:
  • Small mobile/casual game MVP (3-4 people, 3 months): ~$15K - $50K
  • Mid-sized game or app (6-8 people, 6 months): ~$90K - $300K
  • Large-scale / multiplayer / AR/VR (12+ people, 9-18 months): $300K - $1M+
• What changes the price: resource experience, required tech stack (Unreal vs Unity vs custom engines), number of platforms, real-time multiplayer/back-end scale, art complexity, security/compliance needs, and required SLAs or on-site presence.
• Transparent quoting: we provide a line-item estimate (role * months) and scenarios (minimum viable vs. full scope) so clients see how choices affect budget.

We can staff end-to-end teams tailored to your product. Typical roles (mix and count depend on scope):

• Core roles: Project Manager / Account Manager, Lead Developer / Technical Architect, Gameplay Programmer, Mobile / Frontend Developer, Backend / Server Engineer, DevOps.
• Design & content: Game Designer, UI/UX Designer, 2D/3D Artists, Animators, VFX, Sound Designer, Narrative Designer.
• Quality & ops: QA Engineers (manual + automation), Live-Ops Specialist, Community Manager, Data & Analytics Engineer.
• Specialists (on demand): Network Engineer, Security Auditor, Blockchain/Web3 Engineer, Monetization/AdOps Expert, Localization Manager.

Suggested team sizes by project type:

• Small casual app/game: 3-5 FTEs
• Mid-range commercial title: 6-12 FTEs
• Large/live multiplayer/AAA scope: 12-50+ FTEs

Absolutely. We prioritize client control and transparency.

• Shortlist & interviews: you receive CVs/portfolios and can interview shortlisted candidates (video or test task).
• Trial period: optional trial (typically 1-4 weeks) to confirm fit before committing to a longer contract.
• Replacements: if a resource isn't the right fit, we provide replacements per SLA (usually within 1-3 weeks) and handle KT at no extra cost for the first replacement.
• Final decision: you approve final hires for your dedicated pod; we manage payroll, benefits, and administration.

We follow a client-tailored Agile approach that balances discipline with flexibility.

• Methodology: Agile (Scrum/Kanban hybrid). Sprints typically run 1–2 weeks with sprint planning, daily standups, demos, and retros.
• Cadence & reporting: daily standups, weekly progress reports, sprint demos, monthly roadmap reviews.
• Tools: Jira (backlog & sprint tracking), Confluence (docs), Slack/Teams (chat), Zoom (calls), Git/GitHub/GitLab (code), CI/CD pipelines.
• Deliverable transparency: shared backlog, sprint burndown, and regular build deployments to staging for client review.
• Customization: we tailor reporting frequency and formats to stakeholder preferences (executive summary vs. technical detail).

Expect fast time-to-value with a predictable onboarding plan.

• Typical timeline:
  • Contract & scope alignment: 1-7 days.
  • Resource assignment & onboarding: 1-3 weeks (accounts, repos, access, KT).
  • First sprint delivery: usually 2 weeks after onboarding begins — tangible deliverables or incremental features.
  • MVP milestones: small MVPs commonly reach a playable state in 4-8 weeks, depending on scope.
• Speed factors: client availability for KT/approvals, access to existing assets/code, and clarity of product requirements.

Our talent pool covers mainstream engines and bleeding-edge tech with verifiable experience.

• Engine expertise: Unity (2D/3D, mobile, cross-platform), Unreal Engine (high-fidelity PC/console/VR), Godot (lightweight & indie), custom engines where required.
• AR/VR & XR: ARKit/ARCore, OpenXR, Oculus/Meta/SteamVR integration, spatial UX and performance optimization.
• Web3 / Blockchain: smart contract development, wallet integrations, NFT marketplace integration, tokenomics advisory (where compliant).
• Proven deliverables: candidates provide portfolios, playable builds, code samples, and case studies. We can arrange demos of live projects or previous work on request.

We enforce production-grade engineering standards and security best practices.

• Quality controls: code reviews, pair programming, static analysis (linters), unit & integration tests, and CI/CD with automated build checks.
• QA & performance: test plans covering functional, regression, device matrix testing (mobile), latency & stress testing (multiplayer), and automated test suites where applicable.
• Security & compliance: secure coding practices, encryption at rest/in transit, OWASP guidelines, GDPR/data protection support, third-party dependency audits, and optional penetration testing.
• IP & licensing checks: we vet third-party libraries/plugins for licensing and manage procurement for paid middleware.
• Traceability: audit logs, deployment records, and changelogs available for client review.

You get two complementary touchpoints: the Project Manager (PM) for delivery and the Account Manager (AM) for commercial/strategic coordination.

• Project Manager (delivery): sprint planning, backlog grooming, blocking issue resolution, daily standups, QA coordination, risk mitigation, technical liaison. Primary contact for product/technical stakeholders.
• Account Manager (commercial): invoicing, contract amendments, scope changes, escalations, renewals, and strategic alignment with business goals. Primary contact for procurement and executive stakeholders.
• Benefit: a single communication flow — PM handles day-to-day delivery; AM handles contracts, billing, and long-term relationship management.

We design collaboration patterns that minimize friction and keep progress predictable.

• Timezone strategies: set core overlap hours (client-agreed) for live meetings; schedule asynchronous handoffs for the rest. We can align teams to provide 2-4 hours overlap at minimum.
• Single point of contact: PM is the SPOC for operational updates; AM handles commercial communications.
• Async-first practices: documented decisions, recorded demos, ticketed action items (Jira), and detailed acceptance criteria reduce dependency on live calls.
• Cultural fluency: experienced with global clients; we use clear, concise English in all deliverables and respect local business norms.
• Onsite & hybrid options: available for critical phases or kickoffs where required (negotiable and billed separately).
