Developed by Ocean View Games as the client's core technical partner.
Domi is a Unity massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) where we operate as the core development team while the client focuses on game direction and community. As part of a core team of four, we built the gameplay systems, UI, environment art and level design, and carried out the Unity version upgrades and performance work.
This is the embedded model at its most involved: our engineers work in the client's repositories and sprint cycle, and the work ships under their brand.
An unfinished brief is fine. The first conversation helps establish scope.
“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 go above and beyond expectations to deliver. Great asset to any team!”
Working alongside an existing team
Project: Domi Online
“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.”
Embedded game development
Project: Domi Online
Co-development means different things to different studios. We are honest about which model fits your situation.
Senior Unity engineers embedded in your standups, your Jira and your repo, scaling up for a production phase and back down afterwards with no employment commitment.
How integration worksHand us a defined area, multiplayer networking, a mobile port, a UI overhaul or performance work, with clear deliverables and handover points while your team stays on core gameplay.
Explore performance workA stalled or over-budget project that has lost its original team. We start with a technical audit and an honest re-scope.
Explore project rescueFrom first contact to handover, with the same visibility and control you would have over internal team members.
A no-commitment call to understand your project, team and needs. An NDA and intellectual property (IP) assignment are signed before any code is exchanged.
Once the NDA is in place, we review your codebase to assess architecture, risks and integration points and estimate effort from the real state of the project, then return a detailed proposal with scope, milestones, timeline and pricing. We onboard to your tools or set up shared ones once you accept.
Milestone builds, sprint reviews or daily standups depending on the model, direct communication with the engineers doing the work, and a documented handover. Any further support period is agreed separately.
Client projects delivered through embedded engineering and defined development workstreams.
The Challenge: Serve as the core engineering team on an MMORPG while the client owns game direction.
The Result: Architecture, gameplay systems, environment art, level design and five Unity engine upgrades.
The Challenge: Modernise Foil Hat Games' iOS title and bring it to Android.
The Result: Updated SDKs, improved level tooling and an Android release alongside the existing iOS build.
Practical engineering support that fits your production workflow.
We review the architecture, build process and team conventions early, then agree an initial task that establishes a useful working rhythm.
We work under your brand and follow your code conventions. Confidentiality, ownership of bespoke work and licences for existing tools are set out in the agreement.
Ten-plus years across mobile, PC and browser (WebGL), with Unity 6, Addressables, Shader Graph and the Input System, and advanced C# patterns.
Server-authoritative architecture, where the server decides every outcome, built on the FishNet networking library, with cheat prevention, from small lobbies to Domi Online's invitation-only closed alpha stress tests with up to 500 players.
iOS, Android, WebGL and PC from a single Unity codebase, with our mobile and porting services frequently delivered as workstreams inside a larger engagement.
We are registered in London and work on UK hours (GMT/BST). We agree meeting times and communication with your team, including overlap for international partners.
Start with a free scoping call about your existing team, your codebase and the capacity or specialist skills you need to add.
We identify which model fits, embedded extension, a workstream owned end to end, full delivery or rescue, and we are honest when co-development is not the right answer for you.
NDA and IP assignment are signed before any code is exchanged. The agreement sets out ownership of bespoke work and licences for any pre-existing tools. We follow your standards and deliver under your brand.
You work with the engineers directly, in your sprint cycle and tools, with the same visibility you would have over internal staff.
