Macguffin Games Contracting Services

Macguffin Games, Inc. provides services in the areas of game design and creation, art direction and asset creation, and project management.  Please contact us at info@macguffingames.com.

Experience

The Macguffin Games team has over nineteen person-years experience creating games and applications and has collectively been credited on 9 shipped titles, including several expansions to the multi-million copy selling Zoo Tycoon series for Microsoft.

We’re experienced in all areas of game creation – design, programming, art, project management, and quality assurance.  We also have practice coordinating multiple subcontractors to quickly and seamlessly scale our programming and art creation capacity.

We also have experience making sure our clients understand the trade-offs and challenges inherent to game development; in our opinion, if our clients are ever surprised at where the project stands, we’ve done our jobs poorly.

Possible Scenarios

  • For a project that is already in progress and needs support, Macguffin Games can quickly get up to speed on the project’s parameters and technology, and then quickly get to work.
