Unity Technical Audit
An independent, senior-led review of your Unity codebase, performance, and ship-readiness, delivered as a prioritised written report.
An Independent Diagnostic
Ocean View Games runs technical audits the way our own engagements start. When we took on Domi Online, our founder was first hired to review the codebase before the work expanded into full development. Every porting and rescue project we run opens the same way: a clear-eyed audit before anyone writes a line of new code. You get that same diagnostic, on its own terms, with no obligation to engage us for the fixes.
The audit is conducted by a Principal-level Unity engineer (Unity Certified Expert, ex-Jagex Mobile Team Lead on RuneScape Mobile). No juniors, no account managers. You talk to the engineer doing the work.
What We Review
Up to five areas, scoped with the client up front.
Architecture and Code Health
Coupling, separation of concerns, maintainability, and structural technical debt. Where the codebase will fight you as it grows.
Performance
Profiling for frame rate, CPU and GPU load, draw calls, memory usage, and garbage collection. On mobile, thermal throttling and sustained-performance behaviour.
Build and Asset Pipeline
Build configuration, asset import settings, addressables, bundle sizes, and the pipeline health that determines iteration speed.
Stability and Crashes
Crash and ANR analysis, error handling, and the failure modes most likely to surface in production.
Platform and Store Readiness
Compliance against current Apple, Google, and where relevant console requirements.
Who It Is For
The audit suits three situations in particular.
Studios with a struggling build
Investors and publishers doing due diligence
Teams inheriting a codebase
The Deliverable
A written report, structured so that technical and non-technical readers each get what they need from it.
Executive summary
Severity-ranked findings
Per-area detail
A prioritised remediation roadmap
What It Is Not
This is a diagnostic, not a fix. We do not modify code during the audit. The focus is engineering: architecture, performance, stability, pipeline, and platform readiness. Art, narrative, and game design critique sit outside scope. If you want us to act on the findings, see our Performance Optimisation, Legacy Modernisation, and Project Rescue and Takeover services.
Tools We Use
Every audit is backed by industry-standard profiling and analysis tools:
How It Works
From project handoff to a prioritised action plan, here is how the audit runs.
1. Intake
A short call to agree scope and priorities, then read-only access to the repository and a current build. An NDA is standard and signed before access.
- Scope Agreed Up Front: We confirm the areas in scope and your priority order before any work starts.
- NDA First: Signed before any access to your code or builds.
2. Audit Window
We profile, review, and document against the agreed areas. No disruption to your team.
- Senior-Led: The engineer doing the work is the one you spoke to at intake.
- Read-Only: We do not modify your code during the audit.
3. Report Delivery
The written report, severity-ranked and roadmapped, with the evidence behind each finding.
- Severity-Ranked: Every finding rated Critical, High, Medium, or Low.
- Roadmapped: A prioritised remediation plan sequenced by impact and effort.
4. Walkthrough
A call to talk through the findings and answer questions.
- Live Walkthrough: We discuss what we found and what to tackle first.
- Your Report, Your Choice: Hand it to your internal team, another studio, or ask us to handle the fixes.
5. Optional Remediation
If you want us to execute the roadmap, we scope it separately. The audit fee is credited against the first month of remediation work if you proceed within 30 days.
- Fee Credited: Credited against your first month of remediation if you proceed within 30 days.
- Separate Scope: Remediation is quoted on its own; the audit carries no obligation.
