Model-agnostic · Unreal · C++ · Perforce

AI infrastructure engineered for game studios.

We make AI safe, consistent, and genuinely useful across your team, using whatever AI models you prefer. You keep the code, the knowledge, and the infrastructure.

Your team is already using AI. That is the problem.

  • Shadow AI is already in your studio.

    Developers are using consumer AI accounts on proprietary code right now.

  • Ad-hoc AI produces inconsistent code.

    Every developer’s personal AI usage produces subtly different conventions, subtly different patterns, subtly different architectural choices.

  • AI without governance wastes senior time.

    Tech leads spend 15-25% of their week on code review, and much of that time catches convention violations that could have been prevented at write-time.

What you get

In plain terms.

A shared studio brain

Your conventions, architecture, and patterns in one governed place, so AI writes code your way, not its own.

Automatic code review

Every submit gets a structured first-pass review before it ever reaches a senior engineer.

The busywork, handled

Changelist descriptions, ticket links, and reviewer assignments prepared for you at submit time.

Your tools, connected

Safe, audited MCP integrations with the tools you already run, from Perforce and Jira to Slack, Notion, Confluence, and Miro. AI works inside your stack, not around it.

Skills tuned to your project

Ready-made development skills, plus custom ones adapted to your framework and conventions, so common tasks follow your patterns from the first line.

Faster onboarding

New hires ask the system how things work instead of interrupting your seniors.

IP protection you choose

Four privacy levels, from vendor-hosted to fully self-hosted. We recommend; you decide.

No lock-in, ever

Everything runs on your infrastructure and is yours to keep. Works with any AI vendor you prefer.

Not every studio needs every piece. Each engagement is scoped in the proposal, so you get what actually helps your team and nothing you do not.

How it works

Five moments in a developer’s day. Each one, quietly handled.

The right check runs at the right moment, and stays out of the way the rest of the time.

  1. 1

    While you write

    Your AI assistant already knows your studio’s conventions and canonical examples.

  2. 2

    On save

    Instant local checks catch formatting and naming. No AI, no cost.

  3. 3

    On submit

    Descriptions, ticket links, and reviewers are prepared automatically.

  4. 4

    After submit

    A deeper review is ready for your tech lead, so their time goes to the decisions that matter.

  5. 5

    Over time

    The system learns your recurring patterns and keeps your shared knowledge current.

Who it’s for

Studios from ten to a few hundred developers.

Indies & Small Studios

10-30 developers

Single project, tight team, moving fast. Lighter governance surface; faster onboarding and shadow-AI elimination are the priority.

Mid-Size Studios

Most common

30-80 developers

Multiple projects, dedicated tech leads, formal standards. The scale where a five-layer pipeline pays back fastest. Most common engagement.

AAA & Publishers

80-300+ developers

Multi-site teams, publisher relationships, strict compliance. Tier 3 or 4 privacy, hardened governance, controlled multi-site rollout.

How we work together

Four steps. You can stop after any of them.

No package menu. No lock-in. Everything scoped and priced before it starts.

Discovery Call

We confirm fit, your stack, and your constraints. Either we find a clear path forward, or we tell you honestly that we are not the right partner.

02 after a short audit

Scoped Proposal

A one-to-three-week audit surfaces your codebase realities and IP needs. You get a written proposal with fixed price, timeline, and named deliverables, and you keep the audit report either way.

03 3-16 weeks · fixed-fee

Build

We implement the proposal module by module: knowledge layer, pipeline hooks, integrations, skills, dashboards, training. Metrics captured before and after.

04 monthly · optional

Support

Optional after the build ships. Ongoing knowledge evolution, review of AI-related changes, new capabilities folded in, and quarterly ROI reports.

Quick answers.

Does this lock us into one AI vendor?

No. It works with whatever AI you prefer, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or open models you host yourself. We advise on the trade-offs; you choose. Everything we build runs on your infrastructure and is yours to keep.

How is this different from just giving developers an AI tool?

An AI tool on its own does not know your studio’s conventions, does not review submits, and does not keep your team consistent. We build the layer around the tool that makes it reliable across a whole team.

Does it replace our senior engineers?

No. It makes them more effective by handling the repetitive parts of review and onboarding, so their time goes to architecture and design. Humans approve every change.

How does pricing work?

Fixed-fee for the audit and the build, scoped in advance. AI seats and usage are paid directly by you to your chosen vendor, with no markup from us. Full numbers in the proposal after a short audit.
