Our Services
We provide a complete set of GameMaker Studio game development services covering planning, design, coding, testing, and publishing support. Each stage is managed by experienced developers and production specialists who understand how to create efficient, scalable, and commercially viable games.
Game Concept Development and Planning
Every successful title starts with clear design documentation and market awareness. We help you define the concept, mechanics, and art direction to match your audience. Our planning process covers:
- Gameplay loop definition and control logic.
- Level progression structure.
- Resource and performance allocation.
- Platform selection and distribution planning.
This groundwork ensures development moves forward without unnecessary revisions or unexpected production costs.
GameMaker Coding and Scripting
Our developers write efficient, modular scripts using GML (GameMaker Language). This scripting approach ensures easy maintenance and performance consistency.
We manage everything from input systems and AI logic to physics, collision handling, and animation controllers. Each script undergoes version control testing to guarantee compatibility across GameMaker’s multi-platform export options.
By following strict documentation and debugging routines, we minimise post-build errors and shorten release cycles by up to 30%.
2D Asset Integration and Animation Design
Visual consistency defines the player experience. We integrate 2D assets sprites, tiles, effects, and UI components directly into GameMaker’s rendering system, ensuring smooth transitions and accurate layering.
Our designers also manage animation curves, timing, and event triggers for characters and objects. Each asset is optimised for performance, maintaining visual quality without compromising frame rate.
The result: responsive gameplay and fluid visuals, no matter the target platform.
Cross-Platform Game Development
GameMaker Studio allows single-project export across multiple devices. We structure code and assets to maintain stability across PC, macOS, Android, iOS, and consoles.
Through adaptive resolution scaling and performance profiling, we ensure consistent play quality on both high-end and entry-level devices. This approach expands your player base and reduces duplication of effort during updates or ports.
We also handle platform-specific adjustments including input remapping, save data management, and achievement systems for seamless release compatibility.
User Interface and Experience Design
The best games are intuitive from the first click. Our UI/UX specialists create interfaces that match each genre’s logic and flow.
Using layout testing and heatmap tracking, we refine menu structures, navigation, and interaction prompts. Every screen is designed for clarity and quick access, improving session length and retention.
For mobile titles, we apply responsive layouts and gesture-based control systems that align with player habits and screen sizes.
Game Testing and Quality Assurance
Testing is critical for success. We perform comprehensive quality assurance at every stage —functional, compatibility, and performance testing across devices.
Our QA team checks collision maps, AI behaviour, save data accuracy, and level design consistency. Automated tests confirm script performance under extended sessions, preventing frame-rate loss and memory leaks.
Our detailed reports outline any technical issue, its cause, and an actionable fix, helping projects stay on schedule.
Game Publishing and Store Preparation
Getting your game published requires more than a finished build. We assist with metadata configuration, app store submission, and marketing asset preparation.
Our publishing service includes:
- Game build signing and packaging for each platform.
- Store listing preparation keywords, screenshots, trailers.
- Compliance with store requirements and rating systems.
- Performance tracking for post-launch optimisation.
We ensure your GameMaker title is correctly listed and easy to find within its category, increasing its visibility and download potential.
Post-Launch Support and Updates
Game performance doesn’t end at launch. We provide continuous support to monitor stability, patch bugs, and introduce new features.
Using analytics and player feedback, we track performance indicators like retention, engagement, and error logs. Updates are deployed efficiently through version control, ensuring minimal downtime for players.
This ongoing maintenance helps extend your game’s lifecycle and ensures a consistent user experience.
