Java to Unity rebuild
“Seeing Nub running on PC, iOS and Android from a single project was a real moment for us.”
“Nub is our baby, an isometric puzzle game we originally wrote in Java, and we always felt it deserved a bigger audience. We brought in Ocean View Games to rebuild it in Unity, and they did a fantastic job. They took our original code and rebuilt the whole game from the ground up, keeping every puzzle mechanic exactly as we made it while properly rethinking the controls for touchscreens. Seeing Nub running on PC, iOS and Android from a single project was a real moment for us. They were brilliant to work with, and I'd jump at the chance to work with them again.”

Educational app development
“David is very patient and has great communication.”
“David is very patient and has great communication. He is an appropriately skilled freelance Unity developer who 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. Thanks David!”
Embedded game development
“I can say with full confidence there would be no Domi Online without their expertise.”
“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.”
Mobile game development
“He has shown throughout his thorough knowledge of Unity and C#. Communication was clear.”
“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.”
Game development and delivery
“The game would literally not exist without them!”
“It was a pleasure working with Adam and David on Bookwood. The game would literally not exist without them! It's rare to find people who are both so friendly and so professional.”
Independent development support
“There was very little need to go back and forth and ask him to change anything. His code is also very clean.”
“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. He laid out his own roadmap plans and worked well with the rest of the team. Ultimately, he applied his experience and knowledge in the field very well. Very satisfied with the output of his work.”
Working alongside an existing team
“Dedicated members who always go above and beyond expectations to deliver.”
“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!”

“Awesome job! I really look forward to working with the guys again very soon!”
From Former Colleagues
Feedback from people our team worked alongside at previous employers, before Ocean View Games. They were colleagues, not clients, so their words are kept apart from the client testimonials above.
“True to his name, 'Mod Edge' was very mindful of edge cases, taking opportunities to refactor and streamline code alongside player-facing improvements.”
“During David's 2.5 years at Jagex, we first worked together on RuneScape's Ninja team, where he quickly developed an affinity for its complex interface systems. True to his name, 'Mod Edge' was very mindful of edge cases, taking opportunities to refactor and streamline code alongside player-facing improvements. He was highly receptive to feedback and commendably active with players on social media, working with them to understand their needs, refine his designs and build community trust.
I later worked with David on RuneScape Mobile, where he was instrumental in rebuilding the top-level interface to support various phone and tablet aspect ratios, and adapting decades of content to be playable on touch-screen devices. His strong communication skills and cross-disciplinary technical proficiency also made him invaluable in liaising with client and engine teams on graphical and performance issues across differing hardware.”
“He cared about the quality of what he shipped and about the players using it.”
“David is a talented developer and a genuinely good person to work with. He cared about the quality of what he shipped and about the players using it. I'd happily work with him again.”
