How we work
From kickoff to launch in four phases
Built around how publishers, founders, and IP holders actually buy and ship games. No theater, no surprises at the milestone review.
01
Discovery and Pre-Production
GDD, tech feasibility, risk map, and a real cost model. You get a clear answer to "can we build this and how much."
02
Prototype or Vertical Slice
A playable build that proves the core loop. Ready to show your team, your publisher, or your investors.
03
Production and Content
Full team scales up. Bi-weekly playable builds, weekly demos, public roadmap. No black boxes.
04
Launch and Live-Ops
Cert support, day-one patch, content cadence, telemetry, and player ops. We stay on after release if you want us to.
What clients say
Selected quotes from teams we've shipped with
"They saved our project. We came in 11 months into a stalled build and Titan Loop got us shipped in another 7. Their tech lead is now part of our extended team."Mira S., Studio Head, indie publisher (PC/Switch)
"Easily the cleanest multiplayer code review I've ever done. Rollback worked the first time we tested it across continents."James K., Networking Engineer, AA shooter studio
"We hired Titan Loop to port to Switch. They handled cert end-to-end and we passed first submission. That basically never happens."Daniela R., Producer, console publisher
"What sold us was the discovery phase. They told us the parts of our idea that wouldn't work before charging us to build them."Tom B., Founder, funded gaming startup
