Collaboration to help you create your next game: MAGIC Methodology.
We’ve spent decades in backend game development and working with amazing studios. Over time we’ve worked with a lot of games developers to help ideate their architecture for player services, data and servers. We love the collaboration and those studios love that we de-risk their development. For years we didn’t have a name..
In 2024 we were doing so many workshops that we decided it deserved a name: M.A.G.I.C. (Multiplayer And Game Infrastructure Consulting) Methodology. It’s a bit cheesy but it’s a condensed framework which allows us to help game devs by helping them explore risk-lowering, cost-saving, highly scaleable, and future-proofed game backend solutions.
What is it? It’s a workshop performed with your team exploring what you need to be succesful. We then take that away and come back with recommendations and choices to remove some of your challenges and remove pitfalls.
Honed over three decades of industry experience working with some of the UK’s biggest names in game development – including EA, Epic, and Rebellion – M.A.G.I.C. provides an unrivalled, all-encompassing blueprint for the foundation of your multiplayer game backend.
