Our take
Video game development is a complex process that requires teams of artists, programmers, testers, voice actors, and other specialists to allow the game to launch successfully. However, sourcing and hiring such specialists and coordinating teams can be a time-consuming task, particularly for cross-platform and multilingual games.
Side (previously PTW) provides cross-platform video game development services for publishers, focused on offering end-to-end services from art production and game development to localization and data collection. The company differentiates itself from similar agencies by focusing heavily on localization, ensuring that every game has been designed to meet QA for localized standards such as slang, culture, holidays, taboos, food, and more.
Whilst Side certainly faces competition from other video game development agencies and freelance service providers, its experience working on high-profile titles like Star Wars Outlaws, and Silent Hill 2 sets it apart. This impressive portfolio puts Side in a position for future success, as it has clearly demonstrated its ability to contribute to the development of major games that meet expectations of players around the globe.
