Indie Game Development Services for Small Teams
XGameDev provides senior Unity development and co-development for indie developers and small studios that need practical help building, finishing, or releasing a game.
Indie and small-studio games need production discipline without a large vendor process wrapped around every decision. XGameDev works directly with founders, producers, and lead developers who need senior Unity help on a specific part of the build, or a reliable team to take a game through a defined stage of production.
We can help with a new prototype, a vertical slice, gameplay systems, UI, tools, multiplayer integration, mobile builds, Steam preparation, App Store and Google Play release work, or a project that needs technical cleanup before it can move again.
Practical Unity Support for Small Game Teams
Small teams usually need clear ownership more than broad promises. We can take responsibility for a defined feature, platform, milestone, or technical problem, then work with your existing process instead of forcing the project into ours.
That might mean building a gameplay system from a design brief, improving a slow mobile build, preparing a Steam demo, fixing store submission issues, or helping an overloaded team get through a release deadline.
Scope That Fits the Build
Indie budgets require firm choices. We help separate the playable core from the wish list, then shape the work around what will actually move the game forward.
For an early project, that may be a playable prototype or vertical slice. For a live or nearly finished game, it may be bug fixing, performance work, platform support, backend integration, or store release preparation.
Where We Fit
- Unity gameplay and systems development
- Technical architecture and codebase cleanup
- Mobile, desktop, WebGL, and Steam release support
- Multiplayer, backend, and platform integration
- Performance, bug fixing, and production troubleshooting

Great games developer! Even better was his understanding of the project, going above and beyond of the spec to ensure I was happy with the finished game.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with first-time indie developers?
Yes. We can help scope the project, identify the riskiest systems, and work out what should be built first.
Can you work within a limited indie budget?
Yes, provided the scope is realistic. Tell us the budget early and we'll shape the work around the most useful deliverable, such as a prototype, a defined feature, or release support.
Can you help finish or polish an existing Unity game?
Yes. We regularly step into existing Unity projects to fix bugs, improve performance, complete features, or prepare builds for release.
Do you take equity or revenue share?
We work on a paid basis, fixed-cost or time and materials, rather than equity or revenue-share arrangements.
