Android Game Development Company - iLogos

Android Game Development Company

From the very release of Unity, we were excited about the possibilities for mobile it offered — and when lots of people didn’t really believe the mobile games would fly and bring profits to the studios, we did. In 2022, after hundreds of successful mobile-focused game projects, we’re happy to see the mobile segment of the industry bloom.

Because a lot of our clients start venturing into the world of mobile gaming by publishing their games in the Play Store, we often act as an Android game development studio.

Full-Cycle Android Game Development
Full-cycle mobile game development means we create Android game from scratch to release. We do all the work: create art for your game, break it down into levels, help conceive a core loop and other mechanics that’ll be engaging for players, build the world up, and more — in other words, iLogos makes sure the release goes smoothly. For the mobile part, our development team prepares your game to pass compliance requirements in the Play Store and builds its UI/controls to be adaptable to different Android screens.
UX/UI Android Game Design
UX/UI for Android game design is both challenging and extremely interesting: it’s a large part of what defines a positive player experience. While our artists work to bring to you the best, most beautiful visual exploration of your world and characters, our UX/UI specialists declutter the screen; make sure controls are clear and easily accessible via different versions of Android OS; design the game’s behavior for possible distractions (low battery notification, a phone call, and more) and make every aspect of its navigation and mobile gameplay readable and accessible.
Android Game Testing
Often, clients come to us with games that have already been developed, so our QA specialists can test them. We do functionality, performance, compatibility (extremely important for Android games), security, and load tests for the system. We play-test the game, going through the player's experience and figuring out if there are obscure/ambiguous elements of UI or gameplay. In the end, we fix the bugs we’ve found and make a report about design flaws that have been revealed (and fix them, too, if the client is up for it.) Within this service, we also often prepare the game for publishing in the Play Store.
Android Game Porting
Our specialists can both port your Android game to a new platform or vice versa (though to-Android porting often goes as a part of a to-mobile porting package because many clients prefer to make their game available on both iOS and Android.) Timing for game porting to and from Android – to iOS, Windows, or console platforms — varies, depending on the tech stack, quality of code, graphics, GPU load, and other characteristics of the original game. But: porting extends your game’s reach and capability to attract new players immensely, so no wonder it’s a popular service.
Up-to-Date Geared Tool
Another one of our services is updating & polishing the game for it to run well on the newest Android systems and devices. We use a variety of new tools for graphics and development (like Unreal Engine 5 and Unity’s newest iteration) to bring up our clients’ games to a new level of visual quality & player experience. We also update clients’ monetization strategy & methods to stay toe-in-toe with competitors in their genre: it’s important that the UI of ads, reward mechanics, and UI for in-app purchases felt good and were written into the gaming process.
Support And Maintenance
We work with games in post-production, too. Our LiveOps teams make sure an Android game we’re taking care of performs consistently well, collect players’ feedback & analytics for them to become a ground for changes into new patches or versions, do hotfixes, track errors, and more. We also work with game and narrative designers of the title to release new content: e.g., we work to release fresh quests, gameplay features, new monsters and NPCs, new rewards, monetization mechanics — and help with its promotion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Android Game Development?

Android game development means creating a game that’ll run on Android OS. To make an Android game, a game developer uses various tools, from game engines that allow developing to Android as a part of their functionality (Unity, Godot, Unreal Engine 4’s with AGDE for debugging, Defold, etc) to Android Game Development Kit, provided by Google. We prefer using Unity but are always up to adopting your SDK/environment if your game design requires it.

Why Outsource Android Game Development?

The first and main reason businesses opt for outsourcing game development is a lack of talent and time pressure. Outsourcing to a proper tech partner, as we’ve discussed, allows to cut down on recruiting/hiring/onboarding/office space expenses while doing whatever needs to be done for the project. 

Game publishers and studios often take to outsourcing to cover a specific shortage by introducing engineers, artists, animators, or other specialists from a partner company to their in-house gamedev team. That helps introduce both needed expertise and new perspective into the team. 

Apart from that, in comparison to other methods of delegating various aspects of gamedev to outside contractors, outsourcing is often more reliable: it’s easy to check out their portfolio, play their games, or talk to their previous clients (and referrals are a great signifier of a good partner.) 

What Are The Stages of Android Game Development?

Each studio has its own approach to how to create an Android game, so we’ll describe ours. 

 

  1. Game project analysis. You come to us with an idea, and we go through a set of meetings where we establish – approximately – what aspects of work we’re going to cover, what the timetables we’re going to be working within are, what specialists are needed to complete the project. 
  2. Terms of reference/Estimation of cost and terms. After the meetings, we’re summing up the estimation of a project’s cost for you, — and, if you approve the budget, sign the contract & NDA, and get to work. 
  3. Roadmap development. At this stage, we plan game development in more detail: gather references we have (like GDD — game design document — if you already have one, sketches, ideas, documents on the game’s narrative, etc.) and prioritize the task list. If there’s no GDD, it gets to the top priority. Then, the next stage is GDD development — which involves game and narrative designers, art directors, lead developers, and other people who are going to maintain your vision for the game throughout the development. 
  4. Art production. Our game artists work with narrative designers, level designers, and engineers to create a visual representation of your world: its inhabitants, environment, visual effects, and so on. They animate the art assets, make sure the future game screens will look good on as many Android OS variations as possible, and draw flexible, adaptable UI for controls. Then, they transfer the art assets to tech artists who prepare them for integration into the game’s engine. 
  5. Engineering & Testing. Our developers work hard to bring life into the game by working within game engines, tuning the game’s performance up, making sure it looks good/works properly on different Android screens. Then, our Game QA specialists walk through the game/write tests to make sure there are no bugs and errors. 
  6. Vertical slice/Early access release. We’re releasing the chunk of the game we’ve completed (or the entire game – depending on the project’s deadlines/requirements) to see how players like it. We collect feedback and data from various metrics, we look at players’ behavior with the game’s UI/different levels — then, we analyze what we can fix or change to make Android players’ experience more smooth & pleasant. 
  7. Game’s release. We’re releasing the full version of the game, following it up with marketing/ads campaigns for promotion. All bug fixes & insights from players’ analytics are implemented before release. 
  8. Support & LiveOps. Android games often grow by adding more content in the post-production Game live ops stage: new features, rewards, levels, modes, etc. We’re helping you to develop those things and add them to the game. We’re also supporting it, addressing players’ difficulties/bug reports with new fixes and making sure there is as little friction as possible in gameplay.  

Note, that other game studios may utilize other approaches to the Android game development pipeline, and that’s totally valid. If you want to build a game within your process, we can do that as well.

How long does it take to create an Android Game with iLogos?

This is often asked as a part of a larger how to create a game on Android question, and the answer is: it depends. Approximate calculations are these: our game developers create small puzzle games within about 3-5 months; bigger titles, with multiple levels, fighting system, extensive economy, branched dialogues, etc. will take about 6-12 months. Apart from mechanical complexity, the duration of the project also depends on what kind of art you’d like to see in your Android game: generally, 3D artists work longer than 2D artists, even for mobile. So even a small one-chapter story with extensive 3D character & environment art & animated cutscenes can take up to 4-7 months or more to develop.
