You need to set our priorities first of all. Do you want to unleash your 3D game on several platforms including mobile, web, and consoles? Have you given a thought to the budget of the game development and post-development marketing? All these considerations should be your priorities.

2. Watch out for the key traits

Based on the kind of 3D game you wish to build you already have an idea about the kind if developers and their respective qualities you need for the said project. The Unity game developer of your choice should have enough experience in similar projects, and he should be reliable, passionate, responsible and communicative. He should have hands on experience in working in a highly collaborative development environment. Developers who have experience in being kart of both small and big teams are likely to have the required communication skills.

To make sure that your chosen developers possess these qualities check their social media status, read their written blogs and have a look at their portfolios and career graph. They must have a solid programming background and experience in similar game development project will be an added qualification.

3. Know the market

While having a game project in mind along with the kind of budget you should be prepared with, you should also have a clear idea about the gaming audience you are going to target with your new game and the detailed market dynamics. Have a complete analysis of the market with a comparison of different market rates, and a clear idea about how you are going to produce value over price. When you know that a great developer talent deserves a quality package, you never lose him. Do you know many east European countries really have a lot of talented game developers? Well, you should be ready with the price for the deserving developer talent.

4.The cost consideration

You must not forget that though the Unity game engine is relatively cheaper for a company to start, actual development and promotion of the game may involve a significant amount of cost. Apart from the financial cost, a lot of skills, commitment and dedication make a successful game. It is a time-consuming process, and naturally, the development companies take price in consideration to the development time involved. Just remember one thing. Any great piece of work that would deliver you millions in future cannot come cheap. So, always have a realistic budget in mind keeping the development challenges in mind.

5. On time delivery

The creation of a 3D game is just the beginning of a long process involving pre-launch and post-launch marketing, promotions and continuous upgradation. The game market is tremendously competitive, and no game idea is safe from being reproduced. Naturally, making a project successful also depends upon how faster a development process and time to market you can ensure. In this respect, on-time delivery of the finished game is a crucial consideration. Only when the game release date is finalised, the company can turn on to a robust pre-launch campaign to create buzz around the new game. Missing the milestones and deadlines is a sheer unprofessional act which only shows the incompetence of the developers. So, for your upcoming game project make sure it does not happen.

6. Don’t forget about the portfolio

If you are going to hire some developers from a Unity game development company, it is quite obvious that you would like to look at their portfolio to peruse their credentials and competence. But while focusing on the budget, development cost and associated negotiations with a development company, many of us just forget to have a deeper look at the developer portfolios.

Did they have solid programming experience with other projects? Did they have experience in building similar games? Did the developer achieve some professional acclamation or reward for any of his works developed so far? All these considerations are important. Three things developer portfolios should clearly mention such as the platform-specific programming skills and expertise, the years of experience and the projects completed and the work rate.

It’s a wrap, guys!

Finally, you cannot always judge a development company simply on the merit of its completed or successful projects. This is particularly true in case of a high revenue and creatively demanding niche like games. Another company can hire game developers after building a hugely successful game. So, looking at individual developer portfolio along with studying the credentials of the development firm is crucial.
