Studios don't hire external developers because they want to. They hire them because they have a specific problem that their current team can't solve quickly enough. Here are the situations where we add the most value.
Your publisher milestone is eight weeks away and your internal team is at capacity. You need two or three senior Unity engineers who can read your codebase, understand your architecture, and start contributing in the first sprint. Not in three months after a recruitment cycle.
Your team is strong on gameplay but you need someone who can architect a server-authoritative multiplayer backend with FishNet, optimise your rendering pipeline for mobile, or scope and deliver a platform port. We fill the gaps your generalists can't.
Your PC title is doing well and you want to reach new audiences. Porting is a specialist discipline: touch UX redesign, device fragmentation testing, thermal management, platform compliance. We shipped RuneScape Mobile (during David's time at Jagex) and have ported multiple titles across iOS, Android, PC, and WebGL.
Your core team needs to focus on the next release, but your live title still needs content updates, seasonal events, SDK updates, and crash triage. We take ownership of the live ops backlog so your senior engineers can focus on what matters most.
Your studio has lost headcount but still has contractual commitments or a title in production. You need experienced developers who can step in without a lengthy handover. Our team is accustomed to navigating large, undocumented codebases and becoming productive immediately.
Your game isn't hitting frame rate targets on mobile, your build times have ballooned, or your memory profile is out of control. You need a deep performance audit from developers who've optimised at scale, not generic profiling advice.
Your team grows in days, not months. We integrate into your existing workflow, joining your sprint, adopting your standards, committing to your codebase. No recruitment overhead, no notice periods, no equipment costs.
Free your core team for what matters most. Hand us a contained system, whether that's a multiplayer networking layer, an inventory UI overhaul, or a complete mobile port, and we deliver it end to end, merging back into your main branch.
Your players stay happy while your team builds the next release. We handle content updates, seasonal events, SDK upgrades, and crash triage for live-service titles.
Your PC title reaches iOS and Android players. We handle the full port: touch UX, device optimisation, store submission, and ongoing maintenance. Read the RuneScape Mobile port case study.
We have not shipped a console title, and we won't pretend otherwise. The Unity engineering behind our porting work carries over, so we scope console requests case-by-case and tell you honestly whether we're the right team.
Your game runs smoothly on every target device. We profile, optimise, and validate performance so you hit your benchmarks before launch. See our performance optimisation approach.

Tell Us About Your Project“Initially hired David to review code for the game at a very early stage and was blown away by his abilities and after a round with the board we hired David as lead developer for the project. He brought with him other developers who also did great work and I can say with full confidence there would be no Domi Online without their expertise.”
“David and Adam's workflow is always carried out with sophistication and passion, providing our team with vast expertise of the industry whilst maintaining a high standard of work and pride in each component fulfilled. Dedicated members who always goes above and beyond expectations to deliver. Great asset to any team!”
“David worked with us on a 2 month project to build a mobile game. He has shown throughout his thorough knowledge of Unity and C#. Communication was clear. And he has made himself available when we needed him most. We continue to work with him on ad hoc basis.”
“Awesome job! I really look forward to working with the guys again very soon!”
