For productions needing dedicated game design capacity, Game-Ace provides game designers across team extension, co-development, and full-cycle project roles. Specialists cover game design documentation, mechanics, and level design for mobile and PC across any engine. Documentation and source materials transfer to the client and NDA is standard.

More than two decades in game development.
In-house production team across key disciplines.
Delivered across selected game genres.
Every engagement starts with design documentation aligned to your production pipeline. Engineering and art teams build from clear specifications rather than evolving verbal briefs. Designers at Game-Ace work alongside engineers and artists, making cross-discipline documentation review a standard part of the process. This reduces back-and-forth during production and keeps design intent intact through implementation.
Designers join as full team members for complete GDD and systems work, or in a scoped advisory role for specific deliverables such as economy balance or level design briefs. Engagement scope adjusts as production phases change. A live game design retainer covers balance updates, event content, and new feature documentation without committing to a full-team engagement.
In-house designers with production experience, documentation-first delivery, and flexible engagement models.
Hiring a game designer from Game-Ace starts from €4,500 per month for a mid-level specialist. Senior game designers and lead designers working on complex systems, economy design, or live ops are priced higher depending on scope and responsibility. Monthly rates are fixed for the engagement duration with defined notice periods.
