Castle Hill Studios Philosophy

Castle Hill Studios' success is built upon decades of design and development experience, cost-effective scaling strategies, and proven software development processes. Together, these qualities allow us to build vibrant online communities that acquire and retain thousands of players. As a result, we focus on the following priorities when developing a title:

• Community - Understanding and empowering online communities is the key to retention and the continued success of a good multiplayer game.
  
• Adhering to Software Processes - Using engineering discipline and proven, iterative software processes, we ensure on-time delivery of games with predictable life cycle costs.
  
• Complete End-to-End Solution - We have experience not only in developing and producing the underlying host architecture, game client and player databases but also in handling Live operations, billing, hosting, and technical and product support.
  
• Designing with Operations in Mind - Online games (especially the back end host architecture) must be designed and implemented to allow for trouble-free operational maintenance. Castle Hill Studios' employees have the experience of running an online game service that supported over 20 Live titles.
  
• Developing for Cost-Efficient Scaling and Expansion - We design and develop scaling strategies and future features from the start to allow for increased volume and player retention. We ensure cost control measures are in place to provide accountability and fiscal stewardship.
  
• Targeting Platforms in a Timely Manner - We develop products that appeal to the largest potential player base, and that invite entry for future players from other platforms.
