#How we work

How We Work

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

“Changes during the plan cost days. Changes after coding starts cost weeks.”

Total to App Store submission: 23 weeks from kickoff — a mid-complexity VFX build. The parent mobile hub quotes 4–6 months for this band.

#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.

Henrik OlsenCEO & Co-founder

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.
