Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Game Development Team

Priya Morgan / Director of Technology | Jun 26, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. 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. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

The Game Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged Random Otter 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 8 months.

Bluepeak Games is a Gaming & Gambling business in Portland, USA. As Director of Technology, I was responsible for this project on our side and the main contact for Random Otter.

What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?

We needed to port our game to new platforms and improve performance, and we didn't have the in-house capacity to do it ourselves.

What services did the company provide for your project?

Game Development, plus QA and some consulting on how to structure the project.

Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?

Their pricing was fair and they were honest about timelines instead of just telling us what we wanted to hear.

Communication was good overall and improved further once we settled into a routine.

Mostly. One milestone slipped by about a week, but the final delivery was on schedule and the budget held.

It is still early, but the numbers are trending in the right direction and the system has been stable.

Dependable Game Development Partner for a Growing Nonprofit & NGO Business

Daan Bakker / CEO | May 19, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We engaged Random Otter to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. We worked together for around 8 months.

Solid DevOps Services Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Rachel Foster / IT Director | Mar 09, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Random Otter. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. 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 were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks.

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We hired Random Otter to containerize our application and move it to Kubernetes. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The project took roughly 5 months from kickoff to launch.
