The Ocean View Story
One-Liner
Ocean View Games is a specialized UK game development studio led by veteran Unity engineers, dedicated to scaling complex IPs and modernizing legacy gaming experiences for the modern web and mobile.
Short Bio
Led by David Edgecombe—a former Jagex developer who worked on the successful mobile porting of RuneScape—Ocean View Games brings AAA-level engineering to independent studios and educational institutions. The studio specializes in Unity optimization, server-authoritative networking, and rescuing legacy software from digital obsolescence.
Full Bio
Ocean View Games was founded to bridge the gap between high-level game engineering and boutique service. The studio is built on a foundation of over 20 years of industry experience, including internal tenures at renowned studios like Jagex.
While many agencies focus solely on “building apps,” Ocean View Games specializes in high-stakes technical challenges: architecting scalable MMORPGs (as seen in Domi Online), porting massive PC titles to mobile (RuneScape Mobile), and reverse-engineering “dead” software (modernizing the Great Fire of London for the Museum of London). From working with the BBC and Cambridge University Press to launching self-published titles like Empires Rise, Ocean View Games delivers performance-first development that reaches millions of players.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ocean View Games’ niche?
We are the “Engineers’ Studio.” We excel when a project is too technically complex for a standard mobile agency—specifically in MMORPG networking, Unity performance optimization, and legacy code rescue.
What is the studio’s connection to Jagex?
Our Lead Developer, David Edgecombe, was a core member of the Jagex team that brought RuneScape to mobile. We apply that same AAA rigor and optimization mindset to every project we take on at Ocean View Games.
Do you work with non-gaming brands?
Yes. We have a strong track record in “Serious Games” and EdTech, working with institutions like the BBC, Cambridge University Press, and the Museum of London to turn curriculum into high-engagement gameplay.
