What types of games can ORA developers build?

2D and 3D games, hyper-casual and mid-core mobile, PC and web games, multiplayer experiences, AR/VR, metaverse worlds and Web3/blockchain games with in-game economies — from concept art through launch and live-ops.

Which engines and tools do your developers use?

Unity, Unreal Engine, Cocos2D, Godot and custom engines, plus 3D tools like Blender and Maya, and backends for multiplayer, analytics and in-game purchases.

Can you build in-game economies and digital-currency purchases?

Yes. We build secure in-game stores, virtual currencies, item shops, season passes, and Web3 features such as tokenised assets, play-to-earn loops and NFT-based ownership, with compliant payment and wallet integrations.

Can I hire developers part-time or full-time?

Yes — hourly, part-time or full-time as a dedicated extension of your studio, scaling up or down with no long lock-ins.

Do you cover UK, European and US time zones?

Yes. Reliable overlap with UK (GMT/BST), European (CET) and US (EST–PST) hours, with daily stand-ups and shared production tools.

Who owns the game IP and source code?

You own 100% of the game, source code, art and IP, with IP assignment and confidentiality clauses in your favour.

Do you work with early-stage game startups?

Absolutely. We help funded and bootstrapped game startups build MVPs and prototypes quickly, extend their runway with cost-efficient senior talent, create pitch-ready builds and trailers for fundraising, and scale the team milestone by milestone with no fixed payroll or lock-ins.
