GAME DEVELOPMENT

Piktiv is a tech-agnostic, engineer-driven studio that offers game development services to any platform in any engine or language. We are experts at porting and seasoned game developers.

Teams, not individuals

We believe that the best games are produced when the team as a whole takes ownership of the product they are developing. A team from Piktiv is empowered to be autonomous and self-organizing, as they know better than anyone how to tailor their collaboration together with the client.

Dev to dev collaboration

We have found that collaboration works best when we can integrate into our client’s development team and work closely with them, as if we were a part of their own work force. Day-to-day, there should be no discernable difference between us; we operate as though we are one and the same company. It makes us organizationally lean, with little overhead, and keeps the number of people involved to a minimalistic essential team.

Sustainable scalability

Piktiv is the perfect choice to meet transient demands in your production cycle. Organically growing a studio past a certain point may lead to tough choices down the line; we're the better alternative. We'll go the distance together with you, fully dedicated to your studio. Once our goal is reached we'll simply part ways with a salute and a handshake!

Services

Porting

We'll port your game from any engine to any platform. We'll work with Unity, Unreal Engine, Game Maker, Godot and custom C++ engines, and bring your game to Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, as well as Android and iOS.

Simulation

We can build sophisticated simulations using real-world data within game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity, creating high quality visualizations and real time interactions.

Co-development

Whether you're looking for some extra reinforcement or a studio to take comprehensive ownership of the full production, we're ready to help you out! You’ll get a dedicated strike force team that does what needs to be done in order to deliver the game on time.

Specialist Consulting

We're here to offload the important work you don’t have time for, and will clear the obstacles that stand in your way to making a great game. Specialist Consulting is for anyone who has a very specific problem that needs to be solved, whether it be in networking, rendering or any other area of game development.

Long tail support

Ready to move on to new projects, but old IP maintenance takes up too much time? Piktiv will take custodianship over your game and offload your developers from the task of “keeping the lights on”. We stand ready to extend your old IP's lifespan for many years to come!

Among giants

Piktiv is situated in the most innovative gaming cluster in Sweden, sharing the same hometown as global hits V Rising, Valheim and Goat Simulator.

Piktiv has a proven track record of partnering with many successful studios, both in our own backyard as well as internationally.

A hotbed of innovation and growth

Our main office at the Science Park Skövde is the perfect location for attracting senior and fresh talent thanks to the combination of the University of Skövde, with its unique Game Development program, and the Sweden Game Arena which drives growth of new and exciting game studios.

In short, we’re in great company!

Partnership highlights

Our journey with Coffee Stain started with migrating the Mobile version of Goat Simulator from UE3 to UE4. We automated the export/import of all Assets and Actors, and rewrote every class and script from UnrealScript to C++. The F2P version also received a facelift with a new in-game storefront and virtual currency.

Not long after finishing that port, we jumped onto the next challenge: porting Goat Simulator 3 to Mobile! Compared to the original game, the sequel is a 1:1 port of the PC game! No content cuts!

Our work ensured GS3 could release on Nintendo Switch.

When Microsoft wanted Iron Gate to release Valheim on
Game Pass, Piktiv provided the development services to move the network backend from Steam to Microsoft PlayFab, to facilitate cross-play and to future-proof upcoming releases and platforms

The Valheim / Microsoft / Piktiv collaboration was so successful that Microsoft sponsored a Valheim PlayFab case study, featuring the Lead Developer of PIKTIV, Kenneth Jonsson

We are partnered with Iron Gate in further developing Valheim for PC and Xbox and MacOS.
