    Gen AI Policy

    We believe in human intuition. We do not use generative AI or automated black-box scripts in our testing. Just experienced Ontario-based testers who understand game feel, player intent, and technical edge cases.

    Platforms

  • Cross-Platform Specialists: Deep expertise in Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
  • Hardware Lab: Access to our curated device catalog to ensure performance parity across varying specs.
  • Custom Deployments: Console and VR testing available for specialized milestones on a project-by-project basis.
  • Services

  • Manual Testing: Dedicated testers focused on bug discovery, reproduction steps, and fix verification. Ideal for mid-to-late production and launch preparation.
  • Developer Shield: We monitor your Steam forums, Discord, and social channels during your Demo, Early Access or post-launch. We filter the noise, turning chaotic player feedback into organized, reproducible technical tickets so your team stays focused on building.
  • Performance & Optimization Audit: Using our extensive device catalog, we benchmark your gameโ€™s performance across multiple hardware tiers to help define realistic Minimum and Recommended specs. For Unity-based projects, we perform deep-dive remote profiling to identify specific bottlenecks (draw calls, script overhead, fill rate, etc) and provide a clear report with suggested remedies.
