Do you build original IP or only co-develop?

Both. Many engagements are dedicated co-dev pods for publishers and studios. Others are original titles where you own the IP and we provide engineering, art direction, and production. We're explicit about IP ownership in the contract. No ambiguity.

Which engines do you specialise in?

Unity is our most-shipped engine, followed by Unreal 5 for higher-fidelity mid-core and console work. For browser and hybrid web we use PixiJS, Phaser, and Three.js. We don't push a preferred engine. We assess your title's targets and team capability first.

Can you do the art and design as well, or just engineering?

Primarily engineering and production. We partner with art studios and sound houses we've worked with for years, and we can bring them in when needed. Some clients already have art and design. We slot in as the engineering pod.

How do you handle performance on low-end devices?

Performance budgets are set at the start, not the end. We profile on target hardware weekly, including the 5-year-old Android phone your audience actually owns. We'll also do a dedicated optimisation pass before release if it's needed to hit the store's performance requirements.

What's your take on F2P monetisation?

We build what your economy design calls for. IAP, rewarded ads, subscriptions, battle passes. Our opinion: respect the player. Dark patterns work short-term and wreck retention long-term. We push back on pay-to-win and obvious anti-player designs.

Can you handle LiveOps after launch?

Yes. Many of our engagements continue as LiveOps partnerships after launch. Events, economy balancing, A/B tests, new content drops, and the analytics feedback loop. We can also hand over to your internal team with a documented runbook when you're ready.

How do you handle store compliance and policy changes?

Apple and Google change policy often. IDFA, ATT, in-app purchase rules, loot-box disclosures, age gating. We track them and notify you before they affect your title. Compliance work is part of the LiveOps practice, not an emergency every release.

Player-centric game development,
from concept to global scale.

2D and 3D titles across mobile and PC, from hyper-casual prototypes to mid-core live games. We go past the visuals into gameplay, monetisation, and LiveOps systems engineered for retention and long-term performance.

How we build games

Games that survive week four, not just launch day.

Shipping a game is the easy part. Keeping a game alive through store updates, engine upgrades, LiveOps events, and the retention curve nobody wants to talk about is where most studios lose. We build games and the backend that runs them with that second problem in mind from day one.

Our teams have shipped mobile casual, hyper-casual, mid-core, browser-based multiplayer, and Unity and Unreal console titles. We combine technical engineering discipline with a deep understanding of core loops, progression systems, and game feel. Then we wire the SaaS basics around them (CI/CD, crash analytics, feature flags, A/B testing, LiveOps tooling) so the design team can ship events without paging engineering.

What we build

Six shapes of game engineering.

We take on full co-development, dedicated pods for specific subsystems, or backend-only mandates. The shapes below map to titles we've shipped on Steam, mobile stores, and the open web.

Strategy & Steam PC titles.

PC titles built to keep players past launch week. Mid-core strategy and survival titles for PC and Steam, Unity-based, with Steam achievements, workshop support, and the LiveOps scaffolding to run seasons post-launch.

Mobile action & hyper-casual.

Mobile titles tuned for install cost and retention, not just downloads. Unity-first mobile in endless, survival, and casual simulation, with F2P monetisation, rewarded ads, and CPI testing pipelines, shipped across Android and iOS, AR-enabled where it earns the battery.

Unity and Unreal co-development.

Extra senior game-dev capacity that works the way your studio does. Dedicated pods embedded with your team across gameplay programming, tools, rendering, animation, and netcode, adopting your conventions rather than imposing ours.

Multiplayer and netcode.

Multiplayer that stays fair and smooth under real load. Authoritative servers, lockstep, rollback, and matchmaking on Photon, Unity Netcode, Nakama, or bespoke servers in Go, C#, or Rust when off-the-shelf options don't fit.

LiveOps tooling and backends.

Run events and economy changes without paging engineering. Player accounts, inventory, economy, events, leaderboards, and remote config, with admin tools your LiveOps team uses daily.

Web, browser & Unreal Pixel Streaming.

Reach players instantly, no install required. WebGL, PixiJS, Phaser, and Three.js builds for the open web, plus Unreal Pixel Streaming for arch-viz and metaverse experiences delivered as streamed pixels that run in any browser.

Tech we work in

A pragmatic game-dev stack.

We ship in the engine and tooling that fits the title, the platform targets, and the team you'll operate it with, not the engine we'd personally prefer.

Trusted by our clients

What partners
tell us.

Most clients renew for a second engagement. The ones who don't usually hire someone from our team to run the project in-house.

We are a mental health charity and not tech minded. We needed to improve our patient registration system but wanted a company that we can relate to. Hassan took the time to meet with me and patiently went through our process to find a personalised solution for us. Hassan's team did a great job streamlining our process and connected our registration system to our patient management software. Whenever we have a glitch, they resolve this quickly. Enigmatix Global provides a personal and efficient service and we have adopted them to be our IT provider.

Tien Kuei

CEO · Power to Live Foundation

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Enigmatix Global as a premier bespoke software development agency. Our journey with them has been nothing short of exemplary, far exceeding our initial expectations. While many agencies can develop based on strict specifications, Enigmatix Global demonstrated an incredible commitment to our project that was truly unparalleled.

Robert McPherson

Managing Director · RBM Global Ltd

Dragonfly has been working with the team at Enigmatix Global for several years now on building out our web-based platform and APIs. One of their strengths is quickly building out a multi-disciplinary team to work on the development and delivery of features with different technical requirements. Their support has allowed us to accelerate our development work without building an internal team. They have also worked seamlessly with other third parties both during the acquisition of Dragonfly and development of our mobile app. Enigmatix Global has been instrumental in bringing our ideas to life and providing guidance to help us make the best technical decisions. I would recommend getting in touch with them if you're looking for support.

Rebecca Palser

COO · Dragonfly

Hassan and the Enigmatix Global team have been indispensable partners as we rebuilt our client-facing applications into a single platform. As well as being exceptional technically, they consistently invest the time to understand the product and suggest how it can be enhanced and improved.

David Claridge

CEO · Dragonfly

Enigmatix Global did some great work for Sainsbury's, bridging complex interactions between some older less flexible systems, some rigid vendor solutions and the new systems we were building. The software Enigmatix Global developers wrote stood up well, long beyond the interim scope of it needing to work for 12-18m and was still in active use 5 years after its creation to good effect, since it was part of mission critical systems.
