Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle complete game development from concept to launch?
Yes, Hepilev provides full-cycle development. We begin with market analysis and prototype validation, move through production, and conclude with platform certification and launch support. Our team specializes in mobile-first architecture and cross-platform deployment.
What is the typical project timeline for a mid-scale mobile game?
For a mid-scale project with core gameplay loops and 2-3 monetization layers, expect 3-6 months. This includes pre-production (2 weeks), production (12-18 weeks), and polish/certification (4-6 weeks). Timelines vary based on asset complexity and server integration requirements.
Do you collaborate with external artists and sound designers?
Absolutely. While our core team handles engineering, design, and production, we actively partner with specialized external talent for art, animation, and audio. We have a vetted network of freelancers and studios we can recommend or manage under NDA.
Which platforms and engine versions do you support?
Can you provide post-launch live ops and content updates?
Yes. We offer retainers for live operations, including event scheduling, balance tuning, and feature drops. Our backend infrastructure supports remote config and A/B testing. We recommend a minimum 3-month post-launch support period to stabilize metrics.

Hepilev Field Guide: Selecting a Development Partner

The Core Concept

Choosing a studio isn't just about portfolio pieces—it's about finding a team that understands your player demographic. A capable partner will ask about your retention goals and monetization strategy before suggesting engine choice or art style. They should align technical architecture with business KPIs, not vice versa.

Decision Criteria

  • Technical Transparency: Insist on access to their version control and CI/CD pipelines during evaluation.
  • Platform Experience: Verify shipped titles on your target store with similar scope and genre.
  • Post-Launch Track Record: Ask for metrics on updates shipped and retention uplifts achieved.
  • Asset Pipeline: Ensure they can export and integrate assets in your required formats and specs.

Myth vs. Reality

Myth: "Outsourcing means losing control."

Reality: The right partner uses milestone-based deliverables and shared dashboards, giving you more visibility than in-house teams.

Common Mistakes

  • Choosing based on lowest bid without reviewing code quality.
  • Skipping the technical architecture review phase.
  • Not defining clear KPIs for post-launch performance.
  • Ignoring time zone overlap for critical communication windows.
