ThinkDebug
Practical deep dives on software architecture, AI systems, and scaling digital products - drawn from the work we ship.
Game clients, backend services and live operations for titles that have to stay up when players arrive.
Game clients, the backend services behind them and the live operations that keep a title running after launch. We build for the day concurrency spikes, not for the demo build.
Game clients, the backend services behind them and the live operations that keep a title running after launch. We build for the day concurrency spikes, not for the demo build.
iOS and Android titles built for mid-range devices, with battery, thermals and download size treated as design constraints.
Matchmaking, authoritative state, leaderboards and real-time sync that survive a concurrency spike rather than degrading quietly.
Events, seasons, progression and the tooling your team needs to run them without a code release.
One codebase across mobile, desktop and web, with platform-specific work isolated rather than scattered.
Progression, streaks and reward loops applied to fintech, edtech and fitness products where retention is the real problem.
Bringing an existing title to a new platform, or making the current one hold its frame rate on the hardware players actually own.
Not sure which approach fits? A 30-minute call usually settles it.
Talk to an engineerMost of our work comes from clients we already shipped for. These are the reasons they give.
Backends load tested against your projected peak before launch, not after the store feature.
Events and economy tuning designed as tooling, so running a season does not need a build.
Frame budget and memory targeted for mid-range devices from the first sprint.
Systems and backend work. We partner on art rather than pretending to be a studio.
State validated server-side, because a client that can be trusted will not be.
Your team runs the live game afterwards, with runbooks and dashboards to do it.
The parts clients ask about after the demo: who owns the output, who has access to what, and what happens once game development is delivered.
Send us the scope and we come back with an itemised estimate - no discovery fee, no obligation.
We have shipped game development in these sectors before, so we already know where the regulatory, integration and scale problems tend to hide.
Tell us about your industryGame services, live operations and the backends that carry concurrent players.
Streaming and content pipelines that stay fast.
Learning platforms, assessments and cohort management.
Coaching, tracking and subscription products people keep opening after week two.
Multi-tenant platforms, billing and SSO integrations.
A first version narrow enough to ship and honest enough to learn from.
See the full list and the work behind each one.
Explore all industriesChosen for fit and long-term maintainability, never for novelty.
Where the game itself is built.
Matchmaking, state and persistence.
Shipping, scaling and watching it run.
Transparent stages, with something you can look at from the second one onward.
The one interaction the game lives or dies on, playable early.
Engine, target hardware and the frame budget proven before scope grows.
Progression, economy and the tooling to tune them.
Authoritative state, matchmaking and persistence.
Against projected peak concurrency, before launch.
Events, telemetry and the runbooks your team will use.
