Game development and console porting · Argentina
Game development and console porting from Argentina. Tell us where your game is at and let’s work out the next steps.
For independent studios, developers and publishers.
01 / Projects
Released games, games in development and games we are exploring, each with its real status.
Studio: Bigboot Studios
A survival action roguelike with short runs: spells, level-ups, loot and bosses. Every defeat unlocks upgrades for the next attempt.
Studio: RETSA GAMES
High-speed arcade racing on donut-shaped tracks. You play a hacker whose car doubles as a tool to bring down the megacorporation Deusoft.
Our own game, designed for mobile with gyroscope controls. We are bringing it to Nintendo Switch to make use of its motion controls.
Studio: Bigboot Studios
A roguelite deck-builder with souls-like touches: defeated enemies become cards in your deck.
Studio: Bigboot Studios
Tower defense with hordes, strategy and roguelike progression: build defenses, gather scrap and hold off waves.
02 / Services
We bring games to console in stages, from the first assessment to the store release.
We review the engine, the state of the code and its dependencies, plus performance, controls, saving, networking, localization and each platform’s requirements. You get a diagnosis of what it takes to reach console.
We bring the build to the target console: controls, resolution, saving and the adjustments each platform asks for.
We optimize so the game runs steadily on the target hardware, logging risks from the start.
We integrate platform services and get the game ready for certification: testing, fixes and submission. Final approval is up to each platform.
Every platform has its own strengths. We propose exclusive content for each version and help you build it, so your game makes the most of every console.
We update existing titles for new platforms and support the release: store page, date and updates.
03 / Process
Every game is different, so we don’t publish fixed timelines or prices. We define them together in the proposal.
You tell us what the game is, which engine it uses, what stage it’s at and which platforms you want to reach. We also check who holds the rights.
Outcome A first call and the project basics.
With access to the project we review dependencies, performance, controls and platform requirements, and separate the essentials from the nice-to-haves.
Outcome A technical diagnosis with risks.
We define scope, deliverables, assumptions, schedule, price and responsibilities. Everything is in writing before we start.
Outcome A written proposal to decide on.
We work in milestones with clear acceptance criteria, and show you progress, risks and pending decisions.
Outcome Milestone builds, ready for review.
04 / Studio
ZAEDIUS is an Argentine studio for game development and console porting. We make our own small-scope games and help other studios bring theirs to Nintendo Switch and Xbox.
05 / FAQ
It depends on the engine, the state of the code, the target platforms and features like online play. That’s why we don’t publish prices: we set them in the proposal, after assessing the project.
That depends on the project too. The proposal includes a milestone schedule and what we need from you at each step.
To start, a description, the engine and its version, the platforms it’s already on and the ones you want to reach. For the technical diagnosis we need access to the project.
No. We prepare the game for each platform’s requirements and fix what they ask for, but final approval is up to the platform.
