GameDevelopment

PC, Mac, mobile and browser games, arcade cabinets and VR, almost always in Unity. Work ranges from full games and branded games for broadcasters to core gameplay features, tools, pipelines, prototypes and production support for teams already in production.

Knit Wits, a Regular Show browser game for Cartoon Network with over a million plays, which led to Wheels of Rage for The Amazing World of Gumball. Our own titles include The Phantom P.I., a 148Apps Editor's Choice with 49,223 App Store downloads, and Kitty Disastrous. We also built the diagnostic app, kiosk setup and developer guide behind the IDLE Press indie arcade cabinets.

Both, but most work is senior embedded support. We integrate into your workflow, ship specific outcomes, and leave your team stronger through documentation and mentorship.

Tim Miller and Cat Feraday, who founded Rocket 5 after AAA careers at studios including LucasArts and Crystal Dynamics. Tim leads design, programming and production; Cat leads art direction and animation. When a project needs more hands, we bring in specialists we have worked with before.

Unity is our strongest lane, currently Unity 6 with the Universal Render Pipeline, VFX Graph, Timeline, the Input System, UI Toolkit and Addressables. When a game needs a platform feature Unity can't reach, we write native plugins. We adapt to your stack and production tools when the project calls for it.

Yes. For Cartoon Network we built Knit Wits in three months, on schedule, wired into its badge system, localized for its international sites and running in browsers as old as Internet Explorer 7. That project led to more work with the network.

Yes. The Phantom P.I. began as a weekend family game jam and grew into a full 3D adventure with 20 levels and a 148Apps Editor's Choice. We build prototypes, production plans and lightweight specs that reduce risk and help you decide what is worth building before committing a full team.

Yes. For IDLE Press we built a Unity diagnostic app that tests all 28 primary cabinet inputs live, a one-command Ubuntu kiosk setup that boots into the game and recovers from crashes, and an Arcade Developer Guide covering attract mode, coin and credit handling, operator menus and high-score entry.

Yes. We can help to unblock a stalled feature, stabilize a system, improve performance, or tighten scope so the team can ship with fewer surprises.

Usually a focused sprint or a part-time embedded setup. We align on goals, audit the current state, define deliverables, then ship in milestones with clear check-ins and documentation.

Documentation is part of the deliverable. We produce practical, team-facing docs that explain the system, decisions, and next steps so you are not dependent on us long term.

Yes. Cat has worked in feature animation and AAA games and teaches experimental animation at OCAD University. We support visual development, art direction, animation planning, style exploration, and pipeline guidance, especially where character and storytelling are central.

Yes. We are used to collaborating inside existing teams, communicating clearly, scoping realistically, and working within established production processes.
