FAQ

The timeframe for providing specialists depends primarily on the scope of required expertise; however, in most cases, Game-Ace can supply qualified professionals within a few days. Initial consultation focuses on defining exact requirements, such as programming languages, engine experience, or artistic skills. Once the criteria are clear, our recruitment managers proceed to shortlist suitable candidates from an existing talent pool.

Internal screening accelerates the process because candidates have already been pre-vetted for technical knowledge, teamwork capabilities, and communication standards. As a result, clients are not required to invest weeks in reviewing unqualified profiles. Availability also influences timelines, since some roles can be filled instantly, while others may require targeted outreach.

For greater clarity, typical scenarios unfold in the following manner:

  • Immediate availability. Positions such as Unity developers, 3D artists, or QA testers are often filled in under five business days.
  • Specialized requirements. Roles that demand deep expertise, such as Unreal Engine multiplayer or advanced shader programming, may extend timelines to two or three weeks.
  • Team scaling. Expanding an entire group of professionals typically takes two to four weeks, depending on the number of people and the project's complexity.

The process concludes with onboarding, which typically takes no more than a few days. Integration is handled systematically, ensuring augmented staff begin contributing without unnecessary delay. Overall, companies gain the ability to adjust resources almost immediately, reducing hiring bottlenecks.

In order to discuss your specific requirements and learn about current availability, reach out to our team and receive tailored recommendations for your project needs.

Integration of dedicated developers into in-house workflows at Game-Ace is designed to be seamless and efficient. Every engagement begins with a precise alignment of tools, pipelines, and communication channels. By ensuring compatibility from the start, teams avoid delays and reduce risks of miscommunication.

The process typically follows several structured steps:

  • Workflow analysis. Project managers review existing pipelines, collaboration platforms, and communication styles to identify alignment requirements.
  • Onboarding sessions. Augmented professionals are introduced to internal teams, tools, and task management systems, reducing the learning curve.
  • Defined responsibilities. Each role is outlined with measurable goals and expected deliverables, ensuring accountability from the first week.
  • Ongoing coordination. Regular check-ins and milestone reporting keep both internal and augmented staff synchronized throughout production.
  • Performance oversight. Managers at Game-Ace monitor contribution quality and step in if adjustments or replacements are necessary.

Integration is not limited to technical adoption alone. Cultural fit and communication style are equally emphasized, as these factors influence collaboration outcomes. Augmented staff adapt to client-specific practices, from code reviews and sprint planning to artistic approval cycles. By embedding into daily routines, they operate as direct contributors rather than external contractors.

The result is a flexible team extension that supports deadlines, maintains quality standards, and adapts to evolving project needs without disrupting established workflows. To discuss integration options specific to your studio, get in touch with us for tailored guidance.

Scaling augmented teams during development is not only possible with Game-Ace but also structured to match real production dynamics. Many projects require flexible staffing because workloads rarely remain constant throughout their lifecycle. Our approach ensures resources can be expanded or reduced without creating interruptions in delivery.

Consider a scenario where a studio needs additional programmers to complete multiplayer functionality. Within a short timeframe, new developers can be introduced, trained on project-specific requirements, and integrated into the sprint schedule. Once the feature is complete, the extra developers can be phased out, reducing overall costs while maintaining delivery speed.

Another common case involves art production. Early stages of development often require a large team of 2D and 3D artists to create concept materials, characters, and environments. When this stage concludes, the number of artists can be reduced, keeping only those required for polishing or post-launch updates.

To make scaling practical, Game-Ace organizes contracts and engagement models around project phases. This structure guarantees that teams are never overstaffed or understaffed for longer than necessary. Communication with clients remains constant during transitions, which minimizes risks associated with onboarding or offboarding.

Flexibility in team size helps companies manage budgets effectively while preserving quality and momentum. Instead of committing to rigid structures, studios gain the ability to adjust talent precisely when circumstances change. If you would like to evaluate scaling strategies tailored to your project, contact us and receive direct recommendations.

Quality and reliability in team extension with Game-Ace are achieved through a structured system of selection, oversight, and continuous monitoring. Every professional offered to clients undergoes multiple verification steps before being assigned to active projects, ensuring that only qualified and dependable individuals are introduced into production pipelines.

The essential measures include the following:

  • Rigorous screening. Technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and communication ability are evaluated during the selection process.
  • Reference validation. Prior project experience and employment history are reviewed to confirm consistency and credibility.
  • Trial assignments. When necessary, candidates complete practical tasks that reflect real project scenarios.
  • Ongoing supervision. Project managers oversee day-to-day performance and coordinate feedback between in-house and augmented staff.
  • Transparent reporting. Regular updates provide clients with visibility into progress, bottlenecks, and overall contribution quality.
  • Replacement guarantee. If performance expectations are not met, substitute professionals can be introduced without disruption to the project.

In addition to these measures, Game-Ace aligns augmented professionals with established pipelines and collaboration platforms, so integration is smooth and efficient. Quality standards are not treated as one-time checks but as ongoing requirements throughout the engagement. Both technical output and communication practices are monitored, which helps avoid setbacks and ensures consistency in delivery.

Reliability comes from combining skilled professionals, structured oversight, and flexible support options. Reach out to our experts for a detailed consultation to explore how these measures can be applied to your specific project.

Game-Ace offers flexible engagement models tailored to various production scenarios, budgets, and timeframes. Each model is structured to give studios clarity on costs while maintaining adaptability throughout development. Transparency is prioritized to avoid hidden fees or unexpected charges.

The primary models are:

  1. Hourly contracts. Ideal for short-term tasks, troubleshooting, or specialized expertise required for a limited duration. Clients only pay for the actual hours worked.
  2. Monthly contracts. Common for mid- to long-term engagements where stability and predictable costs are essential. This model assumes ongoing access to professionals who are fully dedicated to the project.
  3. Project-based contracts. Suitable for clearly defined deliverables with set deadlines. Pricing is calculated based on scope and complexity, providing clients with certainty about their total expenses.

In all cases, billing structures are straightforward. Rates depend on expertise level, technology stack, and project requirements, with options covering specialists in Unity, Unreal Engine, Roblox, and HTML5/WebGL. Game-Ace provides estimates in advance, allowing studios to align staffing decisions with budget constraints before engagement begins.

Another key advantage is the absence of overhead costs associated with full-time hiring. Clients do not need to account for expenses like recruitment, benefits, training, or office infrastructure. By focusing on project-specific contributions, staff augmentation reduces financial and managerial burdens while preserving flexibility.

Overall, Game-Ace's engagement models are designed to strike a balance between financial predictability and operational agility, providing studios with precise control over both expenses and resource allocation. Contact us for the initial consultation and further cooperation.
