GameDevelopment
Games are how we got here
Rocket 5 brings decades of hands on experience from AAA teams at LucasArts and Crystal Dynamics along with a long runway of indie and client work.
We help teams ship, whether that means building a feature, unblocking production, tightening a level, or giving your pipeline the kind of upgrade that keeps paying off after launch.
You get an experienced team who can drop into your workflow, communicate clearly, document decisions, and deliver without drama.
What We Do
Prototyping & Pre-Production
Wireframes, prototypes, and production planning that turn ideas into something testable. The goal is to reduce risk, clarify scope, and make the next production decision an informed one.
Build & Ship Game Features
We design and implement gameplay systems, tools, and core features with an eye on production realities, performance, and maintainability. If it needs to work reliably in a live project, we build it that way.
Systems Design & Architecture
When your project needs structure, we can architect critical systems and make them understandable to the whole team. Clear documentation, practical patterns, and implementation that does not leave you with a black box.
AR & VR Development
Immersive technology opens new ways to tell stories and create experiences. When virtual feels real, everything changes. We develop AR and VR by building experiences that are as solid technically as they are compelling to use, reliable delivery for marketing activations, education, and interactive installations.
Level & Experience Design Support
Strong levels are not just layouts, they are pacing, readability, and intent. We help with blockouts, encounters, progression, difficulty curves, and the details that make play feel satisfying.
Tools, Pipelines & Workflow
We build tools that save time and reduce friction, from procedural systems and scene composition workflows to pipeline improvements that help artists and designers move faster with fewer bottlenecks.
Embedded Team Support & Mentorship
Need a senior developer or art director who can integrate with your team and raise the bar while delivering work, not just advice? We work alongside your people, strengthening process and capability as we go.
We support PC and mobile games and immersive AR/VR experiences - typically Unity-based. Engagements range from core gameplay features to tools, pipelines, prototypes, and production support.
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.
Unity is our strongest lane. We also collaborate across common production tools and pipelines, and we can adapt to your stack when the project calls for it.
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. We build prototypes, production plans, and lightweight specs that reduce risk, clarify scope, and help you decide what is worth building before committing a full team.
Yes. We can 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.
