NO BUGS AND NICE GRAPHICS
I hired Pixune to develop a sample runner game in Unity. The process was very smooth due to their experience, and their suggestions were always helpful. It was a bit over budget, but the results were excellent. The sample game had no bugs and nice graphics. The project was finished 3 weeks before the deadline. I hired two freelancers on Upwork before Pixune for a similar project and not only they were months late over the deadline, but the results were also very bad. So, I have to say I'm quite pleased with hiring Pixune.

CONTINUE TO HIRE THEM FOR OTHER PROJECTS
There's an old saying that when it comes to hiring people you can look for "good," you can look for "reliable," or you can look for "affordable"... but you won't be able to find somebody who is all three. In Pixune's case, I feel they come the closest of anybody I've dealt with over the past years of our company's existence. I've been really happy with Pixune. I originally hired them in the Fall of 2022 for game development and was happy enough with them that I continue to hire them for other projects, even ones that fall outside of the original reason I contacted them. Besides game development, I've had them do web design work for our site. They're very flexible, accommodating, and extremely reliable.

HIGHLY COOPERATIVE PEOPLE
The Pixune team is full of kind, excellent, considerate, empathetic, talented, and highly cooperative people. The quality of the work that was received was outstanding, however it did take multiple iterations to reach that level. Some instructions were missed, but were fixed - it just lengthened the process and the schedule.

SURELY COME BACK AGAIN
This guy did really good work, he really did amazing art and even after the artist finished he wasn't happy with it so he did it all over again from scratch. I really recommend him and will surely come back again. (this is already the second time)

THE END RESULT WAS WORTH
This was a great experience overall. He took time to actually understand what was needed to deliver the project that I was asking for. Modelers tend to rush because they think they know what the client want, but Pixune went over to clarify the specifics. It required a little more time than we agreed on. However, the end results was worth an extra few days. Trust me...it's worth waiting a few more days, than to have something you don't like at the end. I highly recommend to anybody reading this review. And I look forward working with Pixune again. Thank You!

PIXUNE GOT THE PROJECT RIGHT FROM THE START
Pixune got the project right from the start. We had a somewhat unique art style that needed consideration to be both cartoony and low poly. They were great at interpreting the brief and adding their own style and ideas which really helped. Throughout the rest of the concepts and 3D models & animation steps, nothing was a problem, they asked good questions and were happy to jump on a video call for updates at any time. We will be using them in the future!

We understand that performance is key in game development. Our assets are meticulously optimized to ensure smooth gameplay across all platforms, without sacrificing quality.

- Technical Specifications
Designing game assets can take from a few days to a few weeks.
This time span can vary depending on:
- The Number of Assets
- Art style
- Complexity of Assets
- Budget
- Technical Specifications
Here are 4 key tips for better managing your game asset project budget and timeline:
- Set Clear Goals and Scope: Establish well-defined goals for the game’s art style, level of detail, and overall visual quality from the outset.
- Prioritize and Phase Development: Prioritize the most critical assets for the game’s core experience, and phase the development of less essential assets. This approach allows you to focus resources on the most important elements first and ensures that the game’s minimum viable product is achievable within the allocated budget and timeline.
- Optimize Asset Creation Workflow: Streamline the asset creation process by implementing techniques such as modular design, asset reuse, and procedural generation. Modular assets can be recombined and reused across multiple environments, reducing the need for creating unique assets from scratch. Procedural generation can automate the creation of certain assets, like terrain or vegetation, saving time and resources.
- Leverage Existing Resources: Explore the use of pre-made assets, stock models, or third-party asset libraries to supplement your in-house game asset production. While ensuring consistent art style and quality, this approach can help reduce the workload and associated costs.
We provide game props design services in the USA, UK, Canada, the Middle East, etc. We understand the importance of seamless collaboration across borders and time zones. Most of our clients are from the USA and here is how we ensure efficient collaboration despite time zones and languages:
- A dedicated account manager will be assigned to your project, available during flexible hours, including weekends, to facilitate seamless communication and act as an interpreter if needed.
- All our key team members, including the project manager and those you’ll communicate with, are proficient in English for efficient collaboration.
Our game asset design studio offers all 2D and 3D art styles, including realistic, stylized, cartoony, low-poly, cel-shaded, hyper-realistic, pixel art, minimal, etc. We also can combine multiple art styles to achieve your ideal vision and custom game art style.
The visual style you choose depends on various factors, including:
- Artistic Vision
- Game’s Genre
- Target Audience
- Technical Constraints
- Budget
- Deadline
The key is finding an art style that balances your game’s vision, genre, and target audience. For kids’ games, a cartoony or exaggerated 3D style works well. For mature, action-oriented games, a gritty realistic style fits. Fantasy and adventure games focused on world-building suit a stylized, painterly aesthetic.
To create awesome game assets, 7 critical points should be taken into account:
1. Strong Visual Identity:
Memorable assets have a unique and recognizable style that aligns with the game’s overall visual theme, making them stand out and be instantly identifiable.
2. Functional Integration:
Assets are designed with gameplay in mind, ensuring they are not only visually appealing but also serve a practical purpose within the game.
3. Consistency with the Game World:
Every asset feels like a natural part of the game’s narrative and environment, contributing to a cohesive and immersive experience.
4. Attention to Detail:
Small details in textures, lighting, and design add depth and realism, enhancing the overall quality and immersion of the game.
5. Emotional Connection:
Assets that evoke emotions, whether through relatable characters or nostalgic elements, create a deeper connection between the player and the game.
6. Adaptability Across Platforms:
Well-designed assets are versatile and maintain their quality across various devices and resolutions, ensuring a consistent experience for all players.
7. Innovation and Originality:
Creative and original designs help assets stand out, offering players something fresh and unexpected that leaves a lasting impression.
Our game asset design company creates art for all game genres, from RPGs, RTS, and virtual reality to action and Simulation video games.
There are 4 criteria for picking the best game asset design studios for your projects:
- Portfolio: A 3D game assets studio for mobile games’s expertise is showcased via its breathtaking game art portfolio, and nothing tells better what they are capable of than its past works.
- Reviews: Read their reviews online and see what their past clients think of them. The most honest on-hand thing you can find in the best 2D and 3D game asset studios is their online reviews.
- Communication: First impressions matter – especially when it comes to communication. If they’re slow to respond or just plain rude from the get-go, imagine how it’ll be once they have your money! Trust your gut and work with people who make you feel good.
- Time and Budget Compatibility: After all, you might find the best game asset design studio, but your time schedule and/or money budget do not meet their demands. Find a game asset design outsourcing partner that meets all the previous characteristics as well as your budget and schedule.
Our game asset design studio can produce art for game engines such as Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, GameMaker Studio, Construct, etc. Even if you desire, we can implement the art into your game engine and deliver them to you.
Here are 5 ways a customer can extract more value from a game asset design project:
- Modular Asset Design: Adopt a modular approach to asset creation, where components like meshes, textures, and materials can be easily combined and reused across multiple assets or environments. This approach not only saves time and resources but also promotes visual consistency and allows for greater flexibility in creating variations.
- Procedural Generation: Explore the use of procedural generation techniques for certain types of assets, such as landscapes, vegetation, or architectural elements. This can automate the creation of complex and varied assets, reducing manual effort while still maintaining artistic control over the overall aesthetic.
- Level-of-Detail (LOD) Systems: Implement LOD systems that automatically adjust the level of detail of assets based on their distance from the camera or importance in the scene. This optimization technique can significantly improve performance while maintaining visual quality where it matters most.
- Asset Repurposing and Kitbashing: Explore ways to repurpose or “kitbash” existing assets by combining, modifying, or recoloring them to create new variations. This approach can yield a greater variety of assets while leveraging the work already done, saving time and resources.
- Asset Monetization: Explore opportunities to monetize your game art assets by offering them for sale on digital marketplaces or asset stores. This can generate additional revenue streams and extend the value of your art assets beyond the initial project.
Here’s what you can expect from our game asset design studio:
- Regular Updates: We’ll provide you with regular updates on the progress of your game asset design, including concepts, 3D models, and animations for your feedback.
- Revision Process: We understand revisions are often part of the creative process. Our game asset design studio offers a structured revision process to ensure your feedback is incorporated effectively.
- Open Door Policy: We have an open-door policy, so you’re welcome to ask questions or discuss any concerns you may have at any time.
- Educational Resources: Our game asset design studio can provide you with educational resources to help you better understand the game art process and the creative decisions involved.
- Multiple Format Delivery: We deliver the game props design services in various formats suitable for various platforms and uses.
