Studio Growth · UK UGC studio (NDA)

Scaling a UGC studio to 12M+ visits

A stalled flagship game leaking players every weekend needed to become a live-ops platform — without a rewrite the team couldn't afford.

Server profiling & rewrite of the round loop: We instrumented every remote event, rewrote the round manager as a single authoritative loop, and moved cosmetic replication off the critical path.
Economy redesign: A gated first-hour reward loop, a soft-currency sink, and two low-friction premium bundles priced against benchmark titles in the same genre.
Analytics + weekly live-ops: PlayFab-backed event pipeline plus a weekly build cadence — every ship shipped behind an on/off feature flag so we could A/B without patch-lag.

Metaverse · Global music label

Branded metaverse activation for a global label

A brand campaign needed a home on Roblox that felt native to the platform, not a corporate tour of a marketing deck.

Launch-week visits

Native-first world design: We designed around three Roblox social loops (party-up, share-a-photo, unlock-an-emote) rather than importing a brand microsite metaphor.
Rights-cleared audio pipeline: Streamed audio via a licensed CDN with per-region gating so the same experience shipped globally without a rights renegotiation.
Live album drop event: A gated in-world event triggered by a real-world time window, with retention rewards for players who came back the following week.

Launch · Independent dev team

From prototype to publishing partnership

A talented two-person dev team had a great mechanic and 18 months of scope creep. They needed a partner, not a rebuild.

Scope collapse workshop: We spent week one cutting the design doc from 60 features to 9 — the ones the core mechanic actually needed to feel finished.
Performance-first re-implementation: Rebuilt the core loop with server-authoritative state, streaming worlds, and mobile-tuned rendering. Shipped 60fps on mid-tier Android.
Publisher pitch package: Analytics dashboard, retention model, monetisation forecast — packaged for a first-party platform partnership conversation.

What brands ask before committing

What does a Roblox brand activation cost?

£25,000 for a focused single-loop activation, £60,000–£150,000+ for a persistent branded world with seasonal content and live-ops.

How is a Roblox activation measured?

Engaged minutes, return rate and cost per engaged minute, benchmarked against the paid media budget the activation competes with. Raw visit counts are the weakest metric on the platform.

Can you deliver white-label for our agency?

Yes. We deliver behind agencies who own the client relationship, including brand safety, Roblox policy review and a moderation plan.

Are you part of Roblox Corporation?

No. We are an independent UK studio building on the Roblox platform. Roblox is a trademark of Roblox Corporation.
