Dependable Game Development Partner for a Growing Mining & Metals Business

Chloe Gagnon / Head of Engineering | Oct 11, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We partnered with Concept Open Source to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 3-month engagement.

Great Experience With Concept Open Source on Our Game Development Project

Harsh Menon / Co-Founder | Jul 29, 2026

Concept Open Source did good work for us, and we would use them again. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

The Game Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged Concept Open Source to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. We worked together for around 2 months.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Lena Richter / CEO | May 04, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We are already discussing the next phase with them.
