TECHNOLOGIES WE UTILIZE

We’re in Hawke’s Bay and we want someone local who understands NZ-indie dev — can you help?

Yes — we work with local-region teams around Napier and the Hawke’s Bay, so you get someone who knows your timezone, your constraints, and NZ dev norms. If you tell us your location, team size and site visit preferences, we’ll suggest how we’ll collaborate locally. Want me to map our local collaboration plan for you now?

We have a funding/grant deadline coming up — can you help finish a playable in time?

Absolutely — we specialise in sprint-style builds to stabilise, polish and deliver a demo-ready slice before your deadline. Share your deadline date and top 3 must-haves, and we’ll estimate what we can deliver. Want us to outline the sprint schedule for you?

Will we keep our code, assets and IP if you help us build this?

Yes — you retain full ownership of your code, assets and IP. We’ll include a clearly-written hand-over clause in the contract and deliver full source & builds on final payment. If you like, I can send you a short sample IP-handover clause you can review.

Can you optimise or port our game to mobile/low-spec devices here in NZ?

Yes — we carry out a discovery audit of your engine, plugins and target devices, then provide an optimisation/port roadmap (texture/LOD tweaks, memory fixes, input mapping). If you share engine/version and device list, I’ll outline the typical steps we’ll follow.

How much will it cost — will there be surprise invoices?

We offer either a fixed-quote for a scoped piece of work or a day-rate + milestone plan, with a written scope (what’s included/excluded), milestone payments and a clear change-request cost. If you like, I’ll build a scope-template you can send out to get comparable quotes.

Do you run workshops or game-jams for students/locals in Hawke’s Bay?

Yes — we partner with local schools, tertiary institutes and dev meet-ups in the region to host one-day workshops, semester projects or game-jams. Tell me the age range and number of participants and I’ll outline a hands-on workshop you can propose.

We’re on a small budget — can you still help us get useful work done?

Yes — we’ll help slice the work: for example Phase 1 = playable core, Phase 2 = polish, Phase 3 = QA/testing. You define “what’s in” and “what’s out” to avoid surprises. Tell me your top two priorities and a rough budget band and I’ll recommend the best Phase-1 slice to ask for.
