Game Development Engagement Models
Different game projects need different production setups. CrocoApps can work as a full-cycle partner, co-development team or dedicated production pod.
Full-cycleComplete game production from concept to launch
Co-devExternal capacity for internal studios
DedicatedManaged roles for long-term roadmaps
PackagesDiscovery, QA, porting and LiveOps support
Choose the Model Around the Risk
The right model depends on how much scope is known, whether you already have a team and what delivery responsibility CrocoApps owns.
Game Co-Development
Best when an internal studio needs additional specialists and production capacity.
Dedicated Team
Best for long-term roadmaps and stable monthly production capacity.
QA, Porting or LiveOps
Best for existing games that need focused support after or near release.
How Engagements Start
We avoid forcing a fixed model before understanding the project state.
Review
We review materials, roadmap, codebase or production goals.
Model fit
We suggest the model that matches scope, budget and control needs.
Team setup
Roles, responsibilities and reporting rhythm are agreed.
Kickoff
The engagement starts with a clear milestone or monthly capacity plan.
Commercial setup artifact
The model choice becomes real in four written controls
Full-cycle, co-development and dedicated-team labels matter less than the operating rules documented before production begins.
- OwnershipWho owns product decisions, architecture, backlog and release approval.
- Change controlHow new scope affects priority, estimate and milestone dates.

- Exit and handoffRepository state, documentation, credentials and asset transfer.
Engagement Models FAQ
Can we start with discovery only?
Yes. A discovery sprint is useful when scope, features or technical risks are not yet defined.
Can models change later?
Yes. A project can start with discovery, move to full-cycle production and later continue as LiveOps support.
Can we interview specialists?
For dedicated team and co-development models, specialist review and workflow alignment can happen before kickoff.
