What I make for your game

Players decide in seconds whether to try a game. Give them something they can play.

Each plan includes a few pieces every month. Compare the three plans; every other service can be ordered on its own, at a fixed price or with a quote first.

01 · Game design

I put your game on paper before anyone builds it.

  • BeforeAn idea that changes every week
  • AfterA 10-page design document with mechanics, audience and scope
  • What stays out of scope is written down too, so every milestone has a clear limit.
  • Level plans, economy balance and working UI screens are pieces you can add.

02 · Playable builds

You decide by playing, not by reading files.

  • BeforeA design nobody has played yet
  • AfterA build you open in the browser and play
  • A prototype is one mechanic and one scene. It is not the full game.
  • A vertical slice is defined and quoted milestone by milestone before work starts.
  • Accounts, leaderboards and matchmaking are quoted with their monthly hosting cost.

Honest scope

What Pixel makes, and what it doesn’t.

Pixel makes

  • 2D and casual 3D games
  • Prototypes for web, PC and mobile
  • Vertical slices and milestones on your existing game
  • Art, music and voices with their licences
  • Tests, store pages, trailers and updates

Pixel doesn’t make

  • AAA productions or MMOs
  • Console builds without the manufacturer’s approval
  • Publishing anything without your approval
  • Real-money gambling mechanics
  • Promises of sales, wishlists or rankings

Each order has an agreed scope. Plan inclusions renew monthly; single purchases keep their balance. Accounts, online play, live events and telemetry are quoted with their monthly hosting and security costs.

Before you decide

Frequently asked questions

Who owns the game?
You do. Your idea, your code and the assets delivered to you are yours, and each asset comes with its licence.
What kind of games does Pixel make?
2D and casual 3D games for web, PC and mobile: new prototypes, vertical slices and milestones on games already in progress. Not AAA productions or MMOs.
Which engine do you use?
For an existing project, Pixel works in your engine when it is compatible; for a new prototype, it proposes one suited to your platform. This is confirmed before work starts.
What is a milestone?
A defined step: what the player can do at the end. It is delivered as a tested, playable build, and you approve it before the next one.
Do you publish my game on Steam or other stores?
No. We prepare the store kit, demo or beta branch; you publish from your own account or approve publishing. Store fees and permissions are yours.
Do you use AI?
Yes. AI-made assets are labeled, and we follow each store’s disclosure rules.
Does what I don’t use roll over?
Plan quantities renew every 30 days and don’t roll over. Single pieces keep their balance.
Can my whole team use the platform?
Yes. Access is free with unlimited members and no per-seat fees; the account owner assigns credits to each member. See credits.
How many copies will my game sell?
We don’t promise sales, downloads or rankings. Pixel moves your game forward and gets it ready for its store.
We’re a larger studio.
