We were looking for a team that could create a mobile game from scratch. After having worked with two other game developing companies, we'd got really disappointed. At the very first meeting, Whimsy Games emerged for us as a breath of fresh air. We noticed their comprehensive approach to project management and decided to cooperate with them. They kept us updated with the process, and in the end, even exceeded our expectations. We obtained a full-stack mobile game with an immersive design. I'm referring everyone who is looking for a professional game development team to Whimsy Games.

Once I started working with Whimsy Games and realized how great the team is. They are creative and talented experts. Everyone in the team is engaged in the process and tries to go beyond and above to make an end result flawless. We're developing the game from scratch. I had my own vision, but it was really helpful to hear an expert opinion. Whimsy Games suggested top trends in the industry, which we could integrate into the game. Besides, they created unique and unforgettable characters, backgrounds, and other complementary elements. As a result, I've received a project which completely exceeded my expectations. I truly could not ask for a better experience.

I have been working with Whimsy Games for about a year. I'm surprised how devoted and passionate this team is. As a matter of fact, I had a chance to work with different project managers and developers. You know, all of them are doing their job at a high level. We faced several challenges, and the Whimsy Games team showcased their readiness to give a hand and suggest win-win solutions for my business. Their 3D games are masterpieces. Each of them is optimized in line with the platform requirements and device characteristics. What's more, these guys detect bugs while testing. So you'll be able to release a unique and top-notch product.

When we started our cooperation with Whimsy Games for the first, we needed our 2D game to be developed at the tightest deadline. For us, it was a risky adventure because we didn't know that we were working with a skilled team. But now I'm glad to have taken that decision and found a highly professional and reliable partner. These guys are awesome! They've managed to develop top-notch software and create a vivid design in time. The Whimsy Games team is staying in touch and discussing every stage of the game development. They are open and easy- going. I'm sure I'll get back to them again.

We hired Whimsy games to develop an elearning video game to be deployed in a corporate environment to teach a specific skill set. We had never developed a video game before and therefore relied on Whimsy’s guidance throughout the process. We had very strict requirements from both a content perspective as well as a timeline perspective, and Whimsey was able to meet all of our objectives. Their team was professional, well organized and accommodating throughout the entire process. True partners on the project. We enjoyed working with them, and will continue to do projects with them in the future.

I absolutely loved working with Whimsy Games. They are so professional and their communication is amazing. I had an amazing time working with them on a day to day basis, where I was part of their internal slack channel and Trello boards so I knew what was going on at all times. I would 100% work or recommend anyone else to work with them at any time and have already started recommending them to my associates. Moreover, their quality of work was absolutely amazing and my only regret is I didn't find them sooner!

Executive Interview

Executive Interview of Whimsy Games Group LTD

Denys Kliuch
Denys Kliuch
CEO & Co-Founder

Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.

We are Whimsy Games, a game development company. Our team provides all types of Unity-based game creation services: 2D and 3D art, game design, game development, UI/UX design, QA, and Project Management.

Our company is based in Ukraine. The fully distributed team of 30 people unites experienced professionals passionate about their job. We’ve been on the market for five years, successfully completing more than 70 projects. Over 40 satisfied clients can confirm that. We are proud that Clutch and Goodfirms listed our company in the top-5 of our industry in the world.

My name is Denis, and I'm 27 years old. I used to work as a developer and a team lead in huge game development studios with a monthly income of more than $1 mln. I’ve amassed experience and management skills, traffic marketing, and analytics during that stage in my career. I’ve learned how game development should work.

This path led me to become the CEO and the Co-Founder of Whimsy Games. Marketing and sales of our products and services are among my main responsibilities in our company.

What is the story behind starting this company?

I guess you will find the story quite exciting. At least, it was an exciting and life-changing experience for me.

As I’ve already mentioned, I’ve worked in game development companies. I was good at my job, having enough skills and experience to solve any tasks. But I realized that I wanted to move further.

I had an idea to start a pet project, which could bring me more income and experience. Thus, I could open a new path for growth. However, I understood that I needed knowledgeable and reliable partners to be successful.

I reached out to two of my friends and shared my plans with them. All three of us put our heads together — and decided to give it a try. At first, I devoted to this side project some free time I had to spare. But later, we realized that we ran into something big — much bigger than our small team could handle.

We weren’t profitable at the time, so we had to use our salaries to pay our first employee. Nevertheless, by that time, we had a firm belief in our endeavor. We’ve started to look for more people, offering at first $3 an hour at Upwork. We hired the second developer, and the events began to unfold quickly.

Now, several years later, a company of 30 people, dozens of completed projects, and happy clients are the testimony to our success. And I’m pleased I took that leap in the dark, which led me to become a part of this beautiful team.

What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?

Whimsy Games is an outsourcing company with an in-house team of 30 people based in Ukraine. It is fully distributed, but we also have an office we can work at in case of necessity. Our team unites seasoned professionals and dedicated gaming fans. However, if a project requires some specialists we don’t have, we either work together with our partners or bring freelancers on board.

How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?

Our mission is to make the clients happy, creating unique software and design for engaging games. Transparency, integrity, and fast communication are among our main priorities. The clients of Whimsy Games have full access to all the processes. For instance, they can open any project-related materials in Jira, Trello, or Slack and see everything for themselves.

We know how to organize remote work properly and put developers and 2D or 3D artists in sync. Moreover, we can accurately estimate an idea or MVP. Together with our experienced designers, we can develop games, which become viral. We provide solutions tailored to our client’s budgets and plans.

Besides, we don’t give preference to any pricing model. Fix price, T&M, Cost Plus — anything suitable for the client is good for us.

What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?

We focus on developing mobile games and applications for any gadgets using Unity 3D technology. Whimsy Games offers a full scope of services, including 2D and 3D art, and even marketing.

We use our expertise and aspiration to provide exclusive quality of game development and design. Thus, we win the trust and loyalty of our clients. There are many cases when they return to us with new projects. They also recommend us to their partners or friends, who become our new customers.

Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?

As I’ve already mentioned, we cover a full cycle of game development. Here is a brief overview of the most popular products and services we provide:
  • Unity 3D game development:
    • 2D games/applications. Our artists create the concept of 2D game art design. We provide sketches and agree on animation (environment, characters, and other assets). Then our developers start their work, and the client receives a ready-to-release game;
    • 3D games/applications: We expand the world of games to a new dimension, allowing people to experience video games in a new way. With the help of Unity, which is the top real-time 3D platform, our developers create a complete solution for entertainment of any kind. It includes excellent graphics and top-notch performance for any device;
    • AR and VR technologies for games/applications. We create games that transport players to other worlds and let gamers play with reality. Our specialists do their best to provide cutting-edge quality, well-thought-through game dynamics, and meticulous resource optimization for a smooth experience.
  • 2D-art: 
    • Casual art: we follow the trends and offer casual game design, creating a pleasant gameplay, a well-designed environment, and bright characters;
    • Concept art: our team carefully designs the concepts of characters, settings, and props, providing sketches, drawings, and mock-ups for the clients; 
    • Character design: We create various life-like characters: humans, human-like creatures, animals, monsters, toys, and many others;
    • Environment design: Depending on a game genre, our professional designers can create a fictional universe, replicate the city in virtual space, or make a mix;
    • Hidden Objects: we will transform your vision and ideas into an eye-catching hidden object game with unforgettable environments, carefully worked out assets, and captivating animations;
    • Slot games art: Whimsy games provides customized casino game design from the first sketch to the entire graphic for a slot machine
  • 3D art:
    • 3D character design: we make both photorealistic and stylized 3D models of any kind, rich in texture and details, making our characters look live living things;
    • 3D environment: our experts can create indoor and outdoor 3D environments, including woods, streets, buildings, rooms, or anything else that to use in a 3D game;
    • VFX. Our company enriches its games with visual effects, creating experiences where the players get feedback and clearly understand their actions' consequences. It includes designing life-like representations of fluids, smoke, fire, explosions, destructions, etc.;
  • Animations:
    • 2D games: our high-skilled 2D game artists create breathtaking animations of environments, characters, and props to target big audiences;
    • 3D games: we do our best to blur the lines between the real and the virtual worlds, accurately representing the interior and the exterior of the environments and making our characters look like living things.

What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?

We at Whimsy Games are proud that our company always gets 5-star reviews from the clients. The key to success is continuous communication with the client. We organize regular calls with our customers, obtaining and analyzing their feedback.

Besides, we try to educate our clients, providing sound advice and recommendations. Our goal is to grow together with them, accumulating more knowledge, skills, and experience.

Moreover, we understand the importance of deadlines. Our team strives to deliver high-quality results as soon as possible.

On top of it, we build flexibility in our processes. We hear our clients, understand their needs and pains, and are ready for compromises.

What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?

We do our best to provide a top experience for our clients. A dedicated account manager supports them from the very beginning. Each client gets round-the-clock assistance at every stage of game creation. Even more than that, we stay in touch after the game release, providing maintenance and bug fixes.

What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)

The client’s comfort is our prime concern. We want to be as flexible as possible and always try to achieve a win-win outcome for both sides. Therefore, we use any payment structure, which is convenient for the client.

Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?

We try to get involved in projects, which are exciting and profitable for us. But we are also watchful for the strength of the client’s interest and commitment. The client should have an idea, be motivated enough to pursue the project, and be willing to pay at our rates. Everything else is our job. We guide and support our customers, design and develop the products for them to the best of our ability.
We try to avoid very small projects, setting the minimum requirement at $5k.

What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2020?

Last year the range was quite wide. The smallest project cost was $4,5k, while the price of the largest one reached $137k.

Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?

We are proud of our achievements to date, and our long-term goals are quite ambitious. Whimsy Games is among the top companies in game development outsourcing globally — but we believe we can be in the first position on that list.

Besides, in the next ten years, we want to be among the top 10 product companies globally. To achieve that we’ll need a larger team, so we plan to increase our headcount to 50+ employees. And we expect our net profit to grow with the company, exceeding $1mln a month.
