AR VR Game Development Services In Illinois
If you’ve been burned by agencies that talk a big game and deliver very little, you’re not alone. We’ve seen clients come to us after spending five figures on glorified demos that never made it past internal testing.
We don’t write code just to fill a brief. We solve problems. If you’re in Illinois and need AR or VR game development that functions—and does more than show off in a pitch meeting—you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re a brand looking to increase dwell time in-store, a healthcare provider needing better VR-based training simulations, or a startup chasing investor-ready demos, Pearl Lemon Games helps build the thing that moves your project from concept to completion.
Book a consultation, and we’ll lay out exactly what’s possible. No fluff. No overpromising. Just what it’ll take to build something solid.
Services That Solve The Right Problems
We’ve worked with businesses across Illinois—from Chicago to Champaign—that needed more than surface-level design. They needed projects delivered on time, within budget, and free from the usual nonsense that plagues most dev teams.
Below are the services we offer, each backed by technical know-how and targeted toward real commercial outcomes.
Augmented Reality Game Development
AR isn’t just a gimmick. Done right, it drives engagement, retention, and dwell time.
We use marker-based, markerless, location-based, and SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) AR tech to deliver apps that respond to user behaviour. Whether you’re integrating with LiDAR sensors on the iPhone or using ARKit/ARCore SDKs, we ensure your game doesn’t collapse under technical pressure.
Typical use case: Retail clients in Illinois using geolocation AR games to increase in-store footfall by 27% quarter over quarter.
Virtual Reality Game Development
VR games demand more than basic modelling. They require understanding frame timing, latency, user comfort, and hardware constraints.
We build VR games for Oculus Quest, HTC Vive, Pico, and Windows MR. Whether it’s native development in Unreal Engine 5 with C++ or Unity with C#, we handle everything from locomotion design to memory management—so your project doesn’t fall apart after deployment.
Our testing protocols ensure that frame drops stay below the 20-ms threshold needed to prevent simulation sickness, especially during long-play scenarios.
Multiplayer AR/VR Integration
If your users are dropping off after single-player mode ends, multiplayer might be the issue.
We implement Photon, Mirror, or Unity’s Netcode for GameObjects depending on whether your game requires real-time or turn-based multiplayer. We ensure backend services are built with latency in mind—sub-100ms ping even on mid-tier US servers.
We also handle server architecture using AWS Gamelift or Google Cloud’s Firebase suite, depending on your budget and scaling needs.
Cross-Platform Deployment
Need a game that works across Oculus, iOS, Android and WebXR?
We use shared codebases with conditional compilation to push to multiple devices without bloating your file size. Whether it’s Vulkan API support for Android or Metal API for Apple devices, we ensure compatibility is never an afterthought.
In Illinois, we’ve helped education-focused clients deploy the same VR training module to mobile, tablet, and desktop, reaching over 3,500 users per week with one central build.
AR/VR Game Mechanics and Interaction Design
What breaks most AR/VR projects is poor UX. We spend time on real-world user flows before a single asset is modelled.
From raycasting to collision-based triggers and haptic feedback integrations, we build interfaces that feel natural. Your players shouldn’t need a tutorial if the game is built right. We follow ISO 9241-210 standards for human-centred design, so accessibility isn’t left until the last minute.
Enterprise VR Training Modules
Built for industries that can’t afford failure. Healthcare, logistics, manufacturing—we create simulations that reflect actual use cases.
Using scenario branching, conditional scripting, and LMS (Learning Management System) integrations, we deliver training content that’s trackable and repeatable. Clients in Illinois using VR-based training have seen onboarding times cut by 34% and error rates drop by 41%.
AR/VR Analytics and User Behaviour Tracking
We integrate telemetry tools to measure more than just clicks. Heatmaps, gaze tracking, and dwell time analysis help you understand how players behave.
Using Unity Analytics, Firebase, or custom-built events in Unreal’s visual scripting system, we track retention curves, progression drop-off points, and feature adoption.
This means you can prove ROI to stakeholders without guesswork—and pivot before user numbers fall off a cliff.
Legacy AR/VR Code Refactoring
If you’re sitting on a game built five years ago in Unity 2018 that crashes on modern devices, we can refactor it.
We update deprecated APIs, replace outdated SDKs, improve asset compression, and add support for current hardware. No need to start from scratch—we can patch and stabilise most projects within 6–8 weeks, depending on code quality.

Why Choose Us
We’re based in the UK, but we’ve worked extensively with clients across Illinois. We know the regulatory climate, the funding environment, and the regional user expectations. You won’t have to explain everything three times. We’ve worked with enough clients in your industry to already know what’s holding you back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unity and Unreal Engine are our primary tools. We use Unity for mobile-heavy or rapid prototyping builds and Unreal for high-fidelity, large-scale VR simulations.
We apply device-specific SDKs like ARKit (iOS), ARCore (Android), and WebXR API for browser-based deployments. Cross-compilation setups are handled from day one to avoid fragmentation.
We deploy to Oculus (Meta Quest), HTC Vive, Pico, Android, iOS, WebGL/WebXR, and Windows desktop. Native and hybrid deployments are supported.
We use SLAM-based tracking for more consistent results, supplemented by cloud anchors or GPS-based logic when required. We also test under variable lighting and weather conditions.
Yes, whether it’s integrating with a CRM, LMS, or proprietary backend, we can handle API bridging using REST or GraphQL protocols. Authentication, data security, and error handling are baked into our architecture.
