"NipsApp's PC game development — excellent results"

NipsApp Game Studios developed a PC game for our studio. The team delivered a polished product and the results exceeded our expectations — performance was stable, visuals were strong, and the development process was professional. I'm extremely happy with the outcome and would work with them again.

TECHNOLOGIES WE UTILIZE

Can you give us a local point of contact so we’re not chasing updates?

Yes — reputable local teams assign a single project lead who runs weekly check-ins and delivers short build notes. When you talk to a studio, ask for the lead’s weekly availability and how builds will be shared (link, staging server, device upload). Want a short checklist of communication questions to use on your first call?

We only need one system fixed (controls or audio) — will you do small, cheap jobs?

Definitely — many Tauranga/area teams accept small fixed-price sprints for one problem area (controls, audio, a single level polish). Tell us the one system and your budget band and we’ll suggest the smallest impactful slice to fix first — want me to sketch that slice?

Can you make a kiosk or interactive for a local event?

Yes — local creative/tech shops often build event kiosks, simple AR experiences or gamified promos. They’ll ask about display hardware, interaction time, and audience flow. Tell me the event date and expected footfall and I’ll outline what you should ask the studio to confirm.

How do you test performance on many devices — do you have a device lab?

Good teams use a combo: a small local device set plus cloud device farms for broad coverage. Ask which devices they test and whether cloud tests are included in the quote. If you give me your target device list, I’ll make a QA device checklist you can use.

Will you help with grant/funding deliverables — like CODE or local arts grants?

Yes — studios experienced in NZ will help scope deliverables to match grant timelines (they can draft milestone deliverables and costings). Ask if they’ve previously worked to grant schedules and for a template milestone plan. Want a short milestone template to attach to your grant app?

If we do a short paid internship, what does that look like?

Typical local internships are 6–8 weeks, paid, with weekly mentor reviews and a small, scoped task (art pack, feature, QA). Expect at least one senior review and deliverables tied to learning outcomes. Tell me the skill areas you want interns to learn and I’ll sketch a 6-week plan for you.

We’re nervous about price — can we phase the work?

Yes — phase it. Hold Phase 1 to a tight, high-impact slice (playable core), then add polish and testing in later phases. Insist on a written scope for each phase and a clear change-request rate. Give me your top two priorities and a budget band and I’ll recommend the best Phase-1 slice to ask for.
