Would happily work with them again

Rachel Henderson / Project Manager | Sep 16, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Portalnet was brought in to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. We worked together for around 7 months.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Game Development Team

We were very happy with how this project went. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

Skilled IoT Development Team That Understood Our Business

Priya Carter / Head of Digital | May 02, 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. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Skilled Game Development Team That Understood Our Business

Meera Menon / Founder | Mar 17, 2026

We were happy with the final result. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. 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. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. I would recommend Portalnet to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Project summary

We hired Portalnet to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 9-month engagement.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Chris Coleman / Founder | Jan 04, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. Happy to recommend them.
