Ways We Can Work Together
Three focused services designed to help studios create games that tell meaningful stories and connect with audiences.
Return HomeServices Built Around Your Development Needs
Each service addresses specific challenges that studios face when creating narrative-focused games, developing children's content, or expanding into international markets. We've designed these offerings based on recurring needs we've observed across the game development community.
Whether you're looking to strengthen the narrative-mechanical alignment in your games, establish comprehensive content guidelines for young audiences, or connect with Nordic media networks, we've developed focused approaches that transfer knowledge and capabilities directly to your team.

Choosing the Right Service
Each service addresses different aspects of game development, and many studios benefit from combining multiple offerings over time. Your choice depends on where your current challenges lie and what capabilities you're looking to build.
If you're struggling to create games where narrative and mechanics feel aligned, or if your team debates how to translate story concepts into gameplay, the Storybook Adventure Games service provides frameworks for story-driven development. This helps when you have narrative vision but need clearer pathways from concept to playable experience.
For studios entering children's content or seeking to formalize existing practices, Children's Content Guidelines establishes comprehensive age-appropriate design standards. This serves teams that want greater confidence in design decisions affecting young audiences, or those preparing to pitch children's content to publishers and platforms.
Nordic Children's Media facilitates international expansion by connecting you with established networks in a region known for quality children's content. This fits studios with existing games or projects seeking distribution opportunities, or developers wanting to understand and engage with Nordic media values.
Common Service Combinations
Development + Guidelines
Studios creating children's storybook games often combine both services, establishing content standards while developing narrative-mechanical frameworks tailored to young audiences.
Guidelines + Nordic Access
Teams preparing to pitch Nordic broadcasters benefit from establishing strong content standards first, then leveraging those frameworks when engaging with quality-focused Nordic organizations.
Complete Approach
Some studios engage all three services sequentially, building story-driven development capability, establishing content standards, then accessing international networks with polished, well-designed games.
What Working Together Looks Like
Our engagement process focuses on transferring knowledge and capabilities to your team rather than creating dependency on external consultation. We work collaboratively, adapting our approach to your existing workflow and development culture.
Initial conversations help us understand your specific situation, goals, and challenges. We discuss what you're trying to achieve, where you're experiencing friction, and what success looks like for your team. This shapes how we tailor frameworks and guidance to serve your particular needs.
During our work together, we provide regular touchpoints to review progress, refine approaches, and ensure frameworks integrate smoothly with your processes. You maintain full control over creative decisions while gaining structured approaches for implementing them effectively.
As engagements conclude, we ensure you have comprehensive documentation and the understanding needed to continue applying methodologies independently. The frameworks become yours to adapt and evolve as your needs change and your capabilities grow.
Discovery & Planning
Understanding your needs and tailoring our approach to serve your specific development context.
Active Development
Collaborative work developing frameworks, establishing connections, and building capabilities within your team.
Knowledge Transfer
Ensuring you have documentation and understanding to continue applying approaches independently.
Understanding Service Investment
Our pricing reflects the value of transferring specialized knowledge and building lasting capabilities within your team. Unlike ongoing consultation fees, these are one-time investments that provide frameworks and connections you continue using long after our direct work concludes.
Services include all discovery sessions, framework development, documentation, and follow-up support needed to ensure successful implementation. There are no hidden fees or additional charges for materials, revisions within agreed scope, or reasonable post-engagement questions.
We understand budget considerations vary between independent developers and established studios. While our published rates reflect the comprehensive nature of each service, we're open to discussing your specific situation if standard pricing presents challenges. The goal is ensuring studios that would genuinely benefit from our services can access them.
Consider these investments in building permanent capabilities rather than temporary solutions. The frameworks become institutional knowledge, the guidelines serve multiple projects, and the network connections continue developing over years. The value compounds as you apply learnings across your development work.
Payment Flexibility
We offer flexible payment arrangements to accommodate different studio situations. Discuss your needs during our initial conversation.
Split Payment

Common Questions
How long do service engagements typically last?
Most services take 8-12 weeks from initial discovery to final deliverable transfer. Timeline varies based on project complexity, team availability, and how quickly frameworks integrate with your existing processes. We discuss realistic timelines during initial planning conversations.
Can we engage multiple services simultaneously?
Yes, though we often recommend sequencing services strategically. For example, establishing content guidelines before seeking Nordic connections ensures you approach media organizations with polished standards. We help determine the most effective sequence for your goals during initial discussions.
What if our needs don't fit exactly into these service categories?
These services represent common engagement patterns, but we adapt to your specific situation. During initial conversations, we discuss your actual needs and determine how our methodology can serve them, whether that follows standard service structures or requires customized approaches.
Do you provide ongoing support after service completion?
Each service includes reasonable post-engagement support for clarification questions and implementation guidance. While we don't provide unlimited consultation, we ensure you have what you need to successfully apply frameworks independently. Additional support can be arranged if needed.
What size studios do you typically work with?
We've worked with everyone from solo independent developers to mid-size studios with multiple projects. Service structure adapts to team size—frameworks scale whether you're implementing them across one developer or distributing to larger teams. What matters most is alignment with story-driven development values.
