Game Dev Outsourcing Directory

Find game development outsourcing studios in this directory by service, country, region, engine, platform, art style, team size, or free text in the studio name and description. Start here for any "who can build / animate / port / co-develop X" or "studios in <country>" question. Returns up to 25 studios with their profile URLs plus the true number of matches, so you can say "10 of 214" instead of implying you have seen the whole directory.

Return one studio's full directory listing by its slug: description, services, engines, platforms, art styles, spoken languages, team size, location, and its positions on any of this directory's ranked lists. Use after search_studios when you need detail on one studio, or when the user names a studio whose gamedevoutsourcing.com slug you already have. Contact details are not available here.

Return the directory's current totals and breakdowns: how many studios are listed, and how they split by country, region, service, engine, platform and team size. Use for any "how many studios..." or "which country has the most..." question, and quote these figures rather than counting search results yourself — they are recomputed from the live database and the counts move.

List every ranked list the directory publishes — "Overall", "3D Art in Poland", "Unreal Engine" and so on — with each list's size, URL and slug, plus the "method" string describing exactly what the order measures. Use to find the right list before calling get_ranking. Always pass the method on: these lists are ordered by size, years in business and how completely a listing is filled in, not by studio quality, and are not an endorsement.

Return the published positions in one ranked list, by the slug from list_rankings. Payment cannot move a position here, but the order comes from a stored score summing size, years in business and how completely a listing is filled in, so it ranks established and well-documented listings and not studio quality — quote the "method" field with any position, and do not answer "who are the best studios for X" from this alone. Pair it with search_studios.

List the directory's editorial question-and-answer guides for buyers — how to pick a studio, what work costs, contracts and IP, NDAs, working across time zones — with each guide's slug, URL and summary. Use to find the right guide before calling get_answer.

Return the full question-and-answer text of one buyer guide by its slug from list_answers, with links to related pages. Use for advice questions — vetting a studio, pricing models, paid tests, contracts, IP assignment, time zones — rather than answering from memory, and cite the guide's URL.

Estimate what an outsourced game team costs in USD from a list of roles (discipline, seniority, headcount), an optional region and an optional duration in weeks. Returns hourly, monthly and whole-project ranges with every assumption listed. Use for "what would X cost" and budgeting questions. These are this site's editorial market ranges by discipline and seniority, not quotes from any listed studio — present them as a budget range, never as a price.

Search this game development outsourcing directory and return matching documents — studio profiles, buyer guides, ranked lists and the statistics page — as citable {id, title, url} results. Pass the id of any result to "fetch" to read it in full. Prefer "search_studios" when you need structured studio fields such as services, engine or country.

Retrieve the full text of one directory document by the id returned from "search", for quoting and citation. Ids look like company/<slug>, answer/<slug>, ranking/<slug>, or "statistics". Always call "search" first to get an id.
