Bamboo Game in short, in brief
Who we are, how we work and what we will not pretend to do.
Bamboo Game is a London studio building small and mid-size games for desktop, mobile and web. Projects begin with a playable prototype, move through agreed milestones and continue under a live support plan once the game is released.

Before you ask
Common questions, answered, in practice
Rights, engine choice and timelines are the questions that matter most.
Which engines do you use?
The engine is chosen per project, based on platform, team and the kind of game being built.
Can you start from my idea?
Yes, though the concept is usually tested with a small prototype before full production.
Who owns the game?
Ownership and rights are set out in the development agreement before work starts.
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope. A prototype is quick; a full release build takes months and is planned in milestones.
