We brought up the topic of hiring unity game developers to illustrate the dangers of hiring developers of low caliber, and to help you make smart and informed decisions when you next choose to hire Unity developers for your project. Let us take a look at the main points to keep in mind throughout your search.
How Many Unity Developers Do You Need?
It can be quite difficult to assess the total needs of Unity development in terms of the number of specialists, but reaching an initial estimate should be much simpler. You can calculate the number of people you need to get started and deliver the initial stages of a project and expand the team later as you see fit. Based on the number of experts you need, you can also opt for different models.
Single developer
A single developer can be most useful when working on small-scale objectives, like building a tentative prototype (MVP) and pitching your project to investors. Naturally, the person does not need to work alone and can also be brought onboard to expand a larger team.
A few developers
Multiple developers are well suited to full-scale projects, including games (from hyper-casual to mid-core titles), along with extending existing teams when there is a shortage of talent.
An entire team
An entire team is most appropriate for big and expensive projects that are expected to gain traction, deliver sales, etc. Furthermore, the large team will be required to support the project through its many phases, maintain a quick pace of growth, and make adjustments without significantly delaying progress.
Where To Find Unity Developers?
If you go the route of hiring separate specialists, your first instinct may be to look for them on job search websites and headhunting portals. However, if you are entertaining such notions, you might want to reconsider. Firstly, because this is a very time-draining activity, which will force you to communicate with many different candidates yet often yield no good results.
Secondly, because the candidates that you end up choosing from there might prove to be irresponsible. For example, if you hire a freelance dev and ask them to perform certain tasks, and they just walk away at some point. As you never even met the person or signed a contract, there are no repercussions for the person, and significant adverse repercussions for your business.
With this in mind, a safer solution can be to find a game development studio. Development partners typically have a large staff of programmers and other specialists and can quickly allocate experts or whole teams to work on a new project. Such partners are available all around the world, so you can easily outsource part or all work on a project through them.
