Distributed development, which is a production process that evolved from Streamline’s years of experience providing service solutions to high-profile game developers, reduces the financial and development risk inherent in the traditional game development process. Distributed development shares development responsibilities between two or more partners who are experts in their given fields, allowing independent studios to work together to create AAA products.
This leverages Streamline’s visual and design strengths with a partner studio’s strength in engineering or gameplay. Streamline looks to build longer-term relationships with development teams that match the following criteria:
| • |
Proven track record |
| • |
Proven execution in core competencies complementary to Streamline’s abilities |
| • |
Proven communication |
Strategic alliances and distributed development provide Streamline Studios the flexibility necessary to develop products that enhance the studio’s key strengths in game development.
As our full service solutions encompass more and more of the content creation pipeline for a given project, service solutions and distributed development are becoming closer together—the key difference lies in whether the relationship is ‘for hire’ or as a shared investment into a project.
