Games
UK Game Development Agency
UK-registered Unity specialists with Jagex alumni, VGTR eligibility, and a team whose work includes Cambridge University Press, the BBC, and the Museum of London.
Why Choose a UK Game Developer
The UK is the world's sixth-largest games market and home to studios behind some of the industry's most enduring franchises. Ocean View Games draws from that talent pool directly. Our team includes alumni from Jagex and fish in a bottle, with 20+ years of combined experience shipping titles across mobile, PC, and console.
Working with a UK-registered studio means your project can qualify for Video Games Tax Relief (VGTR), reducing effective development costs by up to 20% on eligible titles. VGTR applies to games that pass the BFI cultural test, and as a UK-registered company, projects developed with us are eligible. We can assist with the cultural test application as part of our engagement. For studios exploring additional funding, many game development projects also qualify for HMRC's R&D tax credit scheme, particularly those involving novel technology such as procedural generation, networking architecture, or hardware-constrained optimisation.
Procurement follows the straightforward frameworks British institutions expect. Our team has previously delivered for organisations including Cambridge University Press, the Museum of London, and the BBC during earlier roles, and brings that institutional experience to every OVG engagement.
Based in the UK, working globally. We have delivered projects for clients in Norway, the United States, Canada, and across the European Union. Our UK registration provides a stable legal jurisdiction and strong IP protection for international contracts, while our workflow is set up for remote collaboration by default.

UK Studios and Institutions We've Worked With
We serve two types of clients from our UK base.
Game Studios & Developers
Studios come to us when they need specialist Unity help they can trust. That might mean co-developing a multiplayer backend, porting a PC title to mobile, clearing a sprint backlog before a milestone, or running a deep performance audit. Our OVG clients include Domi Game Studios, Foil Hat Games (Nova Blast), Inferna Games (Nub), and Mojo Games (Pocket Factory). David previously worked at Jagex on RuneScape and RuneScape Mobile, so our team understands large-scale studio production.
Educational & Corporate Institutions
Universities, publishers, and cultural organisations come to us when they need a game built but lack an in-house development team. They need a partner who understands learning outcomes, accessibility compliance, curriculum alignment, and UK procurement processes. Our team's track record includes projects for Cambridge University Press, the BBC, the Museum of London, and EU Horizon 2020, all delivered during David and Adam's time at fish in a bottle. Under the Ocean View Games banner, we work with The Language Conservancy on educational titles.
