What is the story behind starting this company?
The Kevuru Games company began its journey with the independent development of game projects. These were casual games for mobile devices. Later, the studio began to acquire the first clients who needed help in creating 2D and 3D game art for their projects, as well as co-development and full-cycle development services. After 5 years, we completely immersed ourselves in the client business and expanded our expertise in order to meet the requests for different art styles, game genres, and more.
What is your company’s business model – in-house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
We work according to the models of outsourcing (80%) and outstaffing (20%). Sometimes we work together with other contractor companies on co-development projects.
Outsourcing is the practice of transferring certain tasks and functions by a client company to a contractor company that specializes in the relevant field. Having the appropriate expertise in different game areas, we can offer our clients to outsource the tasks of creating 2D/3D game art and animation, game development, game porting, game testing, etc.
Outstaffing is one of the remote employment options, in which the team performing the entire required range of work of the client company is legally another company (outsourcing agency). The latter acts as an employer, which means it is responsible for the wages, bonuses, and equipment provided to the employee, while the client company issues tasks and assignments to the employees.

How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
We can highlight several key areas of our work that make us stand out.
● Experience and reputation. We have been working in the gaming market for 10 years. During this time, we have established ourselves as a creative, professional, and diligent partner, trusted by many top gaming publishers: EA, Epic Games, Lucasfilm, Socialpoint, Goodgame Studios, and others.
● 360 Degree Services Lines. We provide full-cycle services, that is, in addition to individual tasks for art, we can implement any other task related to the development of a game: game design, animation, development, testing, UI/UX, porting, and so on. Any service can be implemented both separately to meet specific business needs, and in a complex way to create a game from scratch.
● Transparent processes. All our processes in any department, from PMs to artists and developers, are completely transparent. Clients always know and understand exactly what team they are working with, clearly see what is happening at each stage of work and how long it will take to work on a project.
● The highest standards of project management. We have a few levels of assessment on each project utilizing fine-tuned pipelines for style consistency & delivery on time.
● Seasoned high-level specialists. Strict quality control guarantees impeccably performed work in accordance with international standards. Consistently high quality is backed by the fact that 60-70% of our company's employees are senior and middle-level specialists. Some of our team leads have more than 20 years of experience in their art direction.

In order to fully understand the essence of the client's request, before starting the project, we hold special meetings with the participation of leads and PMs to ask all the necessary questions to the client and get a complete picture of the project. After that, we form an estimate that describes in detail all stages of the project. Throughout the work, we agree with clients on a convenient mode of calls with our team: daily, weekly, and so on. We also regularly conduct internal syncs, where teams discuss their project progress, share details, and best practices. In addition to PMs and leads, business executives are actively involved in the project to understand how to correctly form and adjust estimates for the timely delivery of all information to the client about whether everything is going according to plan or the planned hours have already been exceeded. As the CEO of the company, I am also always aware of the progress of each project.
