Early Consulting on Game Direction

Overview
The Assignment
Midwest Games provided regular advising to Devhouse on the early-stages of their project. The team needed feedback to increase market viability for distribution partners and players alike.
Our Approach
We worked closely with the team to provide strategic direction and constructive feedback. Lucky for us, this included weekly play sessions on a really fun game! Our team focused our feedback on game direction, market viability, and presentation to potential partners.
Final Results
Over three months, we were able to prepare the team for their next phase by:
- Delivering development feedback and internal playtesting
- Advising on pitch materials to publishers and investors
- Providing guidance on investment trends and paths
- Securing interest on distribution partnerships from major platforms
We continue to partner with Devhouse on third-party negotiations with the goal of positioning the team for strong profitability ahead of launch.
"Midwest Games provided both market perspective that informed design choices and strategic guidance that opened potential funding sources."
