Using Soft Skills in Game Development and How They Affect Your Reputation

Game development is no longer an isolated industry. The modern field now requires studios to partner with various companies in order to make their deadlines without sacrificing quality. This is why communication has become more important than ever in developing a game and doing well in the industry.

Since we began operation in 2011, we’ve always known how important incorporating soft skills are to our core technical operations. For this blog, we want to take a closer look at how we blended those two things in our process and how it affected our reputation as a company.

We’ll be doing this by checking out our reviews on the ratings platform, Clutch, and see what our clients had to say about our work.

Contact Consistency

When looking at our first ever review on Clutch, two things stand out.

First, the score is pretty high. But how did we get it?

Looking through their comments, our client made a point of mentioning how our CEO, Mayank Pande, stayed with them through every step of the process. This is an example of what we call contact consistency.

Things tend to go smoothly when a partner only has one or two points of contact throughout the entire engagement. This minimizes confusion and helps both parties build a more meaningful relationship. The result is a better product and reputation at the end of the day.

Exacting Expectations

More often than not clients are looking for something specific. They may not always express them well, but it’s up to us as developers to read between the lines.

Experience plays a big role in exercising this soft skill and it’s never easy to put any kind of metrics on it. However, pulling it off often means a big boost in the eyes of the client and can even be the reason for ranking highly on business listing sites.

Game development in the modern era is just as much as interpersonality as technicality. Focusing more on the latter may not bring as much success as you might think. There’s a reason why clients pick the partner they do. Make it worth their while and give them the best experience possible
