Extensive co-development experience.

Wicked Witch Software have more than 20 years' experience collaborating, porting and co-developing games with teams all around the world. Working from Australia can be a major advantage on a project in regards to time zones and team management, as we are generally available for calls day and night and we work while you sleep, creating a 24-hour continuous development cycle.

We can set up and manage code bases and repositories with secure offsite backups for security in your project.

We pride ourselves on our honest, upfront, transparent and professional communication and co-operation. Strong and efficient communication is an essential tool to any successful development project. We are always positive, energetic, friendly and flexible as we focus on solutions, not problems.

As a solution for our extensive work across leading Australian sport brand video games, we have developed in-house facilities for photogrammetry with a scan process of just 2 minutes per character, and a full featured motion capture stage.

We have developed a sophisticated avatar editor for our sports game franchises that works in our custom engine, and in Unreal Engine across PC, Xbox and PlayStation platforms. Users can create players and teams, and upload them to our server to be shared and downloaded by the online community. The system manages the UGC with download counts, popularity ratings and some reporting available.

We have constructed an effective and efficient system for handling environmental effects without our sports game franchises. Effects like weather shifting with realistic day cycles, dynamic crowds or even birds and butterflies allow our games to feel more like the real deal.

We have built a detailed audio system for handling the commentary and 3D audio in our sports game franchises that works in our custom engine, and in the Unreal Engine across PC, Xbox and PlayStation platforms. Commentary lines are recorded on or offsite, processed and then called upon during gameplay depending on circumstances. Ultimately providing a more engaging experience to the player.

We have performed many platform conversions over the years. Ranging from direct ports, through to reduced and re-imagined versions for VR and mobile devices, as well as upscaling and remastering for newer or more powerful hardware.

We have experienced and expert team members that have been in the games industry for more than 25 years and know how to optimize assembler routines to maximize CPU cache, databus transfers, vsync and hsync techniques, dynamic transfer and hardware interrupt hooks to speed up any code and hardware configuration.
