Got a game idea but lack the time, budget, or specialized skills to make it happen? Whether you need help kicking off pre-production, filling skill gaps, or just a second opinion, Pie Trap Studios is here to lighten the load.

We offer senior-level expertise to support your development goals and keep production moving efficiently. Our temporary leadership can:

• Guide departments that need extra direction

• Build pipelines, documentation, and realistic scopes and schedules

• Bridge communication between art and tech through project managers who are also experienced artists and developers

Because we make our own games, we understand the challenges you face and today’s industry standards. Partner with us, and we’ll help you turn your vision into a reality—for as long as you need us.

There are outsourcers, and then there’s Pie Trap. We’re a small, hand-picked strike team that prioritizes quality over quantity—artisans, not mass producers. Our goal is to unblock your production with minimal supervision so your in-house team can focus on what matters most.

Unlike studios that bait-and-switch teams after the contract is signed, we keep the same skilled artists on your project from start to finish. The team only changes if your needs change.

Every asset we deliver goes through a rigorous review to ensure it’s clean, optimized, reproducible, and tested in your engine with your shaders and scripts. We include all source files and aim for launch-ready polish—so you’re not paying someone just to “fix the outsourcing work.”

We’ve been in your shoes. We know the hidden costs of bad outsourcing. Let us save you time, money, and headaches by getting it right the first time.

We’ve been in your shoes. Like many of our clients, we built Pie Trap from the ground up, so we know your goals go beyond simply checking tasks off a list. You have a project you believe in, and you want a partner who shares that excitement.

We’ve helped studios develop pitches, prototypes, and proofs of concept that secure funding and bring ideas to life. We dig into the “why” behind your project—not just the “how”—so every decision supports your vision, target audience, and platform.

Our project managers are personable, transparent, and solution-focused. We’re upfront about challenges and realistic about timelines, offering clear paths forward.

While we can’t compete with the rates of low-cost outsourcing houses, we focus on cost-effectiveness that lasts. Our processes are designed to future-proof your content, minimize revisions, and streamline production. Because if work takes 2–3x more revisions to get right, is it really cheaper or faster?

At Pie Trap, we understand that time is money—and we make sure both are well spent.
