Gidlety Field Guide: Working with Us
Gidlety specializes in high-performance game development and interactive media solutions. To ensure a smooth collaboration process, we've outlined key criteria and expectations for our partnerships below. Understanding these points helps us align our technical capabilities with your project goals from day one.
Technical Scope Definition
Before we begin, we need a clear outline of the platform (Unity, Unreal, WebGL) and target hardware specs. This allows us to allocate the right engineers and avoid scope creep in later stages. Detailed documentation here prevents 40% of typical delays.
Asset Handoff Protocols
Feedback Loops
⚡ Common Misconceptions
Myth: "Cheaper engines mean faster delivery."
Fact: While simple engines speed up prototyping, complex mechanics often require custom C++ modules which negates the initial time saving. We assess engine choice based on long-term scalability.
Myth: "QA happens at the end."
Fact: Gidlety integrates automated unit testing during the development phase. Catching bugs early reduces final QA costs by up to 60%.
Key Terminology
- Vertical Slice A fully playable segment of the game that represents the final quality.
- Hitbox The invisible area that detects collisions or hits on a character.
- Rigging The process of creating a digital skeleton for 3D models to enable animation.
The Gidlety Workflow
Discovery & Audit
Prototyping
Production
Full-scale asset integration and code implementation. We push builds to a private staging server weekly. You get direct access to our Jira board to track progress in real-time.
Polish & Launch
Rigorous optimization for frame-rate stability and bug squashing. We assist with store submission (Steam/Epic) and provide a 30-day warranty period for immediate post-launch hotfixes.
Visual Spotlight: The Architecture of Play
At Gidlety, we view game development as a structural discipline. Just as a building needs a solid foundation, a game requires precise architecture to handle physics, logic, and rendering without compromise.
- ✓ Physics Integrity: Ensuring collision detection remains consistent even at 144Hz refresh rates.
- ✓ Asset Streaming: Seamless loading of high-fidelity textures without stuttering gameplay.
- ✓ Network Prediction: Reducing perceived latency in multiplayer environments.
Live Deployment Status
Currently managing 3 active production environments via CI/CD pipelines.
Signals of Trust & Quality
Data Privacy & IP Protection
- • NDA Enforcement: All code repositories and project discussions are encrypted.
- • GDPR Compliant: User data handling strictly follows UK GDPR guidelines.
- • Source Control: Private GitLab instances with 2FA required for all contributors.
Performance Benchmarks
- • Frame Budget: < 16ms per frame (60 FPS locked) for core loops.
- • Memory Footprint: Optimized asset bundles keeping RAM usage under 2GB for standard builds.
- • Build Times: Automated pipelines delivering test builds in < 15 minutes.
Client Success Scenarios
"We were stuck on a rendering bug for weeks. Gidlety's team isolated the draw-call issue in under 4 hours."
— Indie Studio A (Racing Sim)
"The networking architecture they built scaled to 500 concurrent users without a single desync."
— Multiplayer Team B (FPS)
"Their prototyping phase saved our budget by revealing the core mechanic wasn't fun before production."
— Publisher C (Mobile RPG)
