Game-Ace provides staff augmentation for studios and publishers that need vetted game development specialists integrated into existing teams. Engagements cover Unity, Unreal Engine, art, design, and QA roles on a dedicated monthly basis with direct integration into client Git, Jira, and review pipelines. The same engagement scales from a single specialist to a multi-role pod as production phases require, without recruitment overhead on the client side.

In-house production team across key disciplines.
Delivered across selected game genres.
Game staff augmentation only works when the specialist behaves as part of the client team rather than as a vendor on the other side of a contract boundary. The engineer or artist has to integrate into the project's Git, Jira, and review pipeline on day one, follow the client's CI rules, and ship review-ready output at the same cadence as the in-house team. Game-Ace structures every engagement around direct pipeline integration so the augmentation contribution stays measurable in the client's existing reporting and review systems.
Dedicated monthly engagements are the default model. A single specialist supports an in-house team on a defined system, a small pod covers a specific production phase such as alpha to beta, and a multi-role team scales the in-house production for an entire project. Engagement size adjusts at agreed billing cycles without disrupting active sprints. NDA and IP transfer are signed before any access to client repositories or assets, and engagement extension or wind-down follows the same documented process.
Game-Ace specialists integrate as part of the client team rather than as an external vendor on the other side of a contract boundary.
Mid-level specialist rates at Game-Ace start from €3,000 per month for QA roles, from €3,500 per month for art and animation, and from €5,000 per month for Unity and Unreal engineers.
