- How do you work?
Our preferred project flow is a period of scoping, followed by a presentation of our proposed concept together with timings, proposed budget, art direction and system plan. Upon approval, we continue to production. - How much does it cost?
We have a day rate for commercial projects, but do take on pro-bono and educational work too. The best thing is to get in touch. - How long does it take?
This is always a difficult question. We prefer a lead time of three months – with a minimum of a month. Everything is negotiable but we’ve found in the past that three months is optimum. - Does Open Sourcing my project mean that I have to give everything away?
Not at all. We Open Source the underlying technology of our projects, giving back to the community that enabled us – but that doesn’t mean that copyrighted assets such as logos or other property need to pass into the public domain. - Do you pitch?
As we are a small company, we can’t maintain the studio without getting paid for our work. As such, we don’t normally work on free pitches, but are happy to come back to a proposal with some references and concepts – coming to accurate costs, plans and schedules require us to speak to and work with external partners and collaborators – which we have to charge for.
