Game Development

Leading game development companies including Atari, Epic Games, and 2K Games trust Seapine solutions to help deliver bug-free games on time and on budget.

As a game developer, you are under increasing pressure to meet aggressive schedules and collaborate with other team members, all while trying to satisfy productivity and quality demands. With the cost of a game's development often exceeding 10 million dollars, ROI is critical. Teams that implement proper asset management benefit from shorter release cycles, increased productivity, and above all, higher quality. Just one bug in a game can result in dismal earnings and damage a company's reputation and chance for future success.

Tracking designs, art, source code, scripts, issues, and bugs is a necessity throughout the entire game development lifecycle. Seapine solutions provide a solid foundation for managing all of a game’s digital assets. Seapine’s comprehensive and flexible solutions offer:

• Requirements management, impact analysis, and tracebility
• Centralized digital asset storage
• Real-time, secure access to bug databases and source repositories
• Scalability to manage dozens of game titles
• Team-based collaboration and communication
• Role-based security
• Quality metrics and reporting for management
