"My experience"

They have made a great fashion show game for our company. The game lets you design outfits, style models, and compete in fashion challenges. The graphics are stunning, with tons of clothing options, and I love how I can express my personal style. It’s the perfect mix of creativity and fun!

TECHNOLOGIES WE UTILIZE

Can you help scale our Nelson prototype if it suddenly gets a lot of players (we heard Splitting Point hit 20M)?

Yes — we plan for scale from the discovery pass: load profiles, lightweight backend options, and a staged scaling plan so the prototype won’t fall over if it spikes. Tell me your current hosting and peak-concurrency guess and I’ll sketch an emergency scaling checklist you can use — want that now? (RNZ)

Do you know how to scope work so it qualifies for the Game Development Sector Rebate (GDSR) or other NZ grants?

Yes — we regularly structure milestones and deliverables so they align with NZ funding requirements (so you can claim rebates or meet grant milestone evidence). If you share the grant rules you’re applying to, we’ll map milestone wording that matches funder expectations — want a short milestone template? (MBIE)

Can you also help us go from ‘made here in Nelson’ to selling overseas — like localisation and store presence?

Absolutely — beyond development we help with localisation checks, store submission, region pricing and a simple marketing pack (screens, trailer, store text) so you’re export-ready. Tell me your target countries and I’ll outline the usual localisation + store prep steps you should budget for — want that checklist?

We need an interactive for our visitor centre — can you make it offline-first and easy for staff to run?

Yes — we design kiosk apps with offline fallback, one-button restarts, and a 1-page runbook so staff can manage daily operation without a dev on site. Tell me your expected daily visitors and hardware and I’ll draft a robust kiosk runbook you can use at procurement — want me to draft that?

Will you help us test on the devices our local audience uses (older phones, tablets)?

Yes — we maintain a mix of local device testing and cloud device farms so you’re covered for both popular Nelson devices and low-spec handsets. If you give me the target device list (or market percentile), I’ll send a short QA device checklist you can use when comparing quotes — want that list?

Can you work with local storytellers / iwi so cultural content is handled properly?

Definitely — we can coordinate cultural advisors and include consult milestones (review, sign-off, language checks) in the scope to ensure authenticity and tikanga are respected. Tell me any local contacts you already have and I’ll propose a cultural-consult cadence for the project — shall I draft that?

We’ve got a tiny budget — what’s the fastest, cheapest way to get something useful made in Nelson?

Slice very small: pick one high-value interaction (a single polished loop, a kiosk quiz, or an AR photo trail) and scope it as a fixed short sprint with clear “in/out” items. Tell me your top two priorities and a rough budget band and I’ll recommend a tight Phase-1 slice you can ask studios to price — want that recommendation?
