Frequently Asked Questions

How do I lay the foundations for a solid multiplayer game backend?

A successful multiplayer game backend needs to be baked into your vision from the start. Here’s how we make sure you’re building on solid ground:

Vision & Scope Alignment – We define your game’s backend needs based on design, audience, and long-term goals. No fluff, just what’s actually necessary.
Cost Planning & Risk Analysis – Surprise backend expenses? No thanks. We forecast costs and flag potential pitfalls before they become problems.
Infrastructure Mapping – Networking, matchmaking, LiveOps and more all need to work together seamlessly. We outline the systems you need and how they’ll scale.

How does backend development affect launch, and how can the Wizards support me here?

Backend architecture makes or breaks your game’s launch. A good one means smooth sailing. A bad one? Welcome to post-launch chaos. As your video game consultant, we help you:

Decide What to Build, Buy, or Outsource – Not everything needs to be made from scratch. Our expert advice will help you optimise time, budget, and performance.
Plan for Cross-Play & Monetisation – Want seamless cross-platform play? Anti-cheat baked in? A monetisation model that actually works? These need to be sorted from day one.
Scale Without the Headaches – Your game should handle a player surge, not crumble under it. We predict growth patterns and structure your multiplayer game backend accordingly.

What launch-specific support can the Wizards provide?

A well-planned launch is the difference between a game that thrives, and one that faceplants. Our game consultant team helps studios chart a clear course with:

Phase-by-Phase Development Planning – Backend implementation, broken down into milestones that actually make sense.
Readiness Checkpoints – Before you go full throttle, we make sure your infrastructure is solid, stress-tested, and ready for action.
An Operational Playbook – Think of this as your troubleshooting bible – guidelines for handling live issues fast and keeping things running smoothly.

With Code Wizards’ infrastructure consulting, you get a full-fledged battle plan. No wasted effort, no nasty surprises, just a clear, high-quality, structured approach from prototype to launch.
