The convention center is an event venue that offers a wide range of facilities for gatherings, accommodating both small groups and large-scale events with a capacity of up to 12,000 people. The center prides itself on providing versatile spaces, both indoors and outdoors, fostering social interactions while creating memorable experiences for its customers.

In addition to its event-centric offerings, the convention center provides various accommodation options, ranging from summer cottages and Nordic-inspired apartments to sophisticated hotel rooms. This diverse range of accommodations allows guests to choose the setting that best suits their preferences.

This project has been initiated to map this entire convention center in Unreal Engine 5.4+ in the realm of filmmaking and gaming.

Stepico Games was hired by a game development studio to provide development and artistic support. The team codes in C#, developing the projects in Unity.

The project is still live, but internal stakeholders are pleased with their partnership with Stepico Games. Over the course of the collaboration, the team has grown in size and capability, remaining flexible along the way.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a project director of operations with Whatagoober and Goober Games.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Stepico Games?

We needed to outsource our development and art needs.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Our engagement with Stepico Games began with them supporting us in development. The team typically codes in C#, though our projects are typically in Unity. From an art standpoint, they use an animation tool called Spine.

Over time, our relationship went from a typical outsource client-vendor relationship into one in which our two teams blended.

What is the team composition?

Our core team is about 10 people, but we at times expand up to 15 to 20, depending on project needs.

How did you come to work with Stepico Games?

I found them through an online search. We did some project tests and further evaluation, and ultimately decided they were the best fit.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent between $200,000-$999,999 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our collaboration began in fall 2016 and is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The project is still live, so we don’t have any hard metrics. However, Stepico Games has grown a lot since our collaboration. The capabilities of the team are high, especially given their cost. We’ve been happy to continue our partnership throughout the years.

They’ve been open to any extended collaboration we’ve wanted, remaining willing to take the lead on operations or be directed.

How did Stepico Games perform from a project management standpoint?

Stepico Games typically dedicates project management internally for each project. They’re as involved as you want to be, and stand-ups can happen as often as each day. To track progress, the team uses Jira, and Slack to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their flexibility with our needs is outstanding. They’ve never turned down our requests, growing or shrinking the team, or making other adjustments, as needed

Are there any areas they could improve?

So far, any shortcomings we’ve come up against are things that would be found in any other development studio. There have been growing pains, but their expertise and standards are high now.
