Unity TechnologiesClient Testimonials
“Initially hired David to review code for the game at a very early stage and was blown away by his abilities. 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.”
Pellek
CEO & Co-Founder, Domi Online
“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.”
Martin M
Project and Business Manager, Pocket Factory
“David is very patient and has great communication. He understood our project goals from the beginning and worked with us diligently throughout our slow-burn design process. I am pleased that we chose David to develop version 2.0 of our Vocab Builder.”
Logan
Lead Producer, The Language Conservancy
“David did a great job with the project and was able to take a great amount of autonomy. There was very little need to go back and forth and ask him to change anything. His code is also very clean.”

The Ocean View Story
One-Liner
Ocean View Games is a specialised UK game development studio led by veteran Unity engineers, dedicated to scaling complex IPs and modernising 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 specialises in Unity optimisation, 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 specialises 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 (modernising 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 optimisation, 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 rigour and optimisation 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.
