Arcadian Interactive is a full-cycle game development studio. From concept art to App Store launch — we craft immersive experiences that drive engagement and revenue.

"Arcadian took our rough concept and turned it into a top-50 title in under 3 months. Their attention to game feel and monetization balance is unmatched."
"We've worked with 4 studios before. Arcadian is the first that truly understood both the creative and business side. Revenue grew 340% after their redesign."
"The prototype was ready in 10 days. 10 days! We soft-launched in 6 weeks and hit 100K downloads in the first month. Absolutely incredible pace."

Costs range from $15,000 for a simple hyper-casual title to $150,000+ for a feature-rich mid-core game. We provide detailed estimates after our free discovery call, breaking down every phase so there are no surprises. Most clients start with a prototype phase ($5K-$10K) to validate the concept before committing to full production.
We develop for iOS (iPhone & iPad), Android, and HTML5 web. Most of our projects target both mobile platforms simultaneously using Unity or Godot with cross-platform builds. HTML5 games are perfect for instant-play experiences and web distribution channels.
Our average project timeline is 10-16 weeks from kickoff to store submission. Hyper-casual games can be delivered in as little as 4-6 weeks. Complex mid-core titles with multiplayer features may take 5-8 months. We always provide a detailed timeline with milestones during the planning phase.
You do. 100%. Upon final payment, all IP rights, source code, art assets, and store accounts are transferred to you. We retain the right to showcase the project in our portfolio unless you request otherwise. This is outlined clearly in our standard agreement.
Yes. We offer flexible support packages starting at $2,000/month covering bug fixes, OS updates, content updates, live events, and analytics monitoring. Many of our clients retain us for 6-12 months after launch to optimize retention and monetization metrics.
Absolutely. We frequently embed with client teams as a co-development partner. Whether you need just artists, just engineers, or a full pod — we adapt to your workflow, tools, and communication preferences. We use Jira, Slack, and daily standups by default.
We use a milestone-based payment model: 30% upfront, 40% at mid-production milestone, and 30% on delivery. For longer projects, we can arrange monthly billing. We accept wire transfers, credit cards, and crypto payments.
