Unity game development: make your idea playable.

One Unity mechanic, one level, placeholder assets and two review builds.

Custom art, multiplayer, store publication, consoles and localisation are separate. Third-party fees are additional.

After your inquiry: concept within 12 business hours, or 48 above €25,000 excl. VAT. Also for complex projects.¹ The inquiry is non-binding.

Response times, requirements & exceptions
  1. You receive a concept within 12 business hours, or 48 business hours where the estimated project scope exceeds €25,000 excluding VAT. This also applies to complex projects. Time counts after a complete inquiry arrives through our form, Monday–Friday, 08:00–20:00 Europe/Berlin. Outside this window it starts at 08:00 on the next working day; public holidays at our company location in Starnberg, Bavaria, do not count. The concept sets out scope, approach, cost range and open questions. Clearly defined work includes a fixed-price proposal. If existing code, online multiplayer or sensitive data first require an audit or detailed concept phase, the concept identifies those steps and their proposal; a reliable implementation price follows that review. The inquiry is non-binding.

Working together

Efficient development. Human review.

AI helps with repetitive work so more of the effort goes into your product. Our developers plan, implement and review the result. Founder Samuel Rogers coordinates your project and remains your contact, in English or German.

Typical projects & technical approach
  • A playable mechanic for a pitch
  • A small game for a campaign or event
  • A vertical slice with menus, saving and 2–3 levels
  • A complete small game with up to 5 levels

The prototype includes placeholder or AI-generated assets refined by hand, with two review builds for feedback. Online multiplayer and console certification sit outside the entry package and need separate scoping.

How we work: seven steps from inquiry to handover

  1. Form

    5 minutes

    Project type, scope, existing material, timeline and budget, with specific questions.

  2. Concept + fixed price

    within 12 business hours, 48 above €25,000 net¹

    Our understanding in our own words, what is included and what is not, the price excluding and including VAT, schedule, assumptions and open questions.

  3. Approval & deposit

    30%

    You confirm the proposal in text form; the deposit reserves your slot. Consumers receive the information on the right of withdrawal beforehand.

  4. Start

    On request: start on the next business day²

    Kick-off meeting (30 minutes), access and content, then work begins; without the rush option, within the period stated in the proposal.

  5. Sprint demos

    every week

    After each sprint (a short work cycle), a test version for you to try. Intermediate versions are for your feedback and do not trigger another instalment.

  6. Acceptance

    10 business days to review

    You check the completed result against the agreed scope and declare acceptance in text form. The final payment of 70% is due only after full completion and your acceptance.

  7. Source code & rights

    on full payment

    Repository, access and build instructions; exclusive usage rights to everything created individually for you, and a perpetual non-exclusive right to use our templates and tools (such as the design system) for your project. Third-party components such as open-source libraries keep their own licences. You are not tied to us. After that, we fix deviations from the accepted scope under the warranty (2 years for consumers, 1 year for businesses); updates, new operating system, store or browser versions and extensions are maintenance, a development budget or a new order. For consumers, the mandatory statutory rules for digital products (sections 327 ff. of the German Civil Code) also apply, for example on updates. If a service is to deviate from them, we agree this expressly and separately in the proposal.

  2. Project start on the next working day after order confirmation and receipt of the 30% deposit, subject to capacity confirmed in our offer. Rush surcharge: 20%, at least €200 excluding VAT (€238 including VAT). For consumers, work before the end of the withdrawal period requires your express consent.
