Service Packages & Estimated Costs

1. Basic Porting Package ($1500 – $3000): This package is ideal for simpler 2D games or games with minimal platform-specific dependencies. It includes initial code analysis, basic adaptation for macOS, and limited testing. This typically covers games built with engines like GameMaker or simpler Unity projects. Turnaround time: 4-6 weeks. A recent client, ‘Indie Games Studio,’ utilized this package for their puzzle game, ‘Logic Bloom,’ resulting in a 25% increase in Mac user downloads.
2. Standard Porting Package ($3000 – $7000): This package is designed for more complex 2D and 3D games that require significant code modifications and optimization. It includes thorough code analysis, adaptation for Apple Silicon, graphics optimization, and comprehensive testing across a range of Macbook models. Suitable for larger Unity or Unreal Engine projects. Turnaround time: 6-10 weeks. We’re currently using this package to port ‘Echoes of the Past’, a narrative adventure game developed in Unreal Engine 4. We’ve already identified and resolved 12 critical bugs during the initial testing phase.
3. Premium Porting Package ($7000 – $15000+): This package is for AAA-quality games or projects with extensive platform-specific features. It includes all features of the Standard package, plus advanced performance tuning, custom shader development, and ongoing support. This is geared toward high-fidelity titles demanding the best possible experience. Turnaround time: 10-16+ weeks. This package is best suited for titles like ‘Project Nova,’ a graphically intensive FPS. We are currently offering a 10% discount on this package for projects utilizing Lumen Global Illumination.
4. Performance Optimization & Debugging ($500 – $2000+): This dedicated service focuses on enhancing the performance of a pre-existing Macbook port. We identify and resolve bottlenecks, optimize graphics rendering, and improve overall stability. We recently improved the frame rate of a client’s game by 15% using this service, allowing them to target the Macbook Pro M2’s ProMotion display.
5. Apple Silicon Compatibility Testing ($300 – $1000): Ensures your game runs flawlessly on the latest Apple Silicon chips (M1, M2, M3 series). This involves testing on a Macbook Pro M3 Max with 64GB of RAM, running macOS Sonoma.
