How We Work

Every stage ends with something in your hands, and with a date you can hold us to.

Unlimited Tech Resources
03

Unlimited Tech Resources

We only use cutting-edge software and cutting-edge technology to construct a fictional world of any scale in the least amount of time.

#Tech

Engines & tooling we ship on

We pick the stack to fit the title, not the other way around. Most shipped work runs on Unity and Unreal, with custom backends and live-ops tooling layered on top.

AI assistants for generating concepts, textures, character variations, and LODs. We use them as accelerators for senior artists, not as replacements.

Whimsy was the first outsourcing partner that actually felt like an extension of our internal team. Daily standups, transparent burndowns, and art that didn't need three revision passes.

Clutch
Maya ChenExecutive Producer

They took over live ops without a single dropped event. Retention grew a quarter in a row — and our internal team finally slept.

Direct answers

Questions producers and founders ask before signing. If yours isn't here — the form below lands in our inbox, not a sales queue.

The cost for 2D game art outsourcing is customized based on several core factors: the complexity of the artwork, the specific style you require (e.g., stylized, realistic, retro). The scope of assets, including character models, environments, animations, and any unique effects or custom design needs, is also considered in our pricing.
