Stay Lean.
Ship Like You're Not.
Production has changed: core teams stay small and bolt on senior capability when the work demands it. Runt embeds in your production as a ready-made unit of senior Unity engineers: netcode, backend, UI, gameplay systems, and rendering. Your repo, your standups, your sprint goals. The same crew has shipped online games together for fifteen years. Quality and chemistry, pre-built.
External Unity Projects
Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Sunblink Entertainment had the vision, creativity, and ambition to build something special. Over five years of partnership, Runt amplified their Unity capabilities at every critical stage—custom asset pipelines for their open-world sandbox, advanced rendering for their outstanding art direction, optimization expertise for their launch push, and surgical live-ops support. When great studios partner with Unity specialists who understand the long game, magical things happen.
How We Partner With Studios
Embedded Co-Development
Hiring the team you need takes time, and a bad hire costs even more. We bring plug-and-play seniority, synergy, and speed you can trust.
Your repo, your standups, your sprint goals. We've shipped together for fifteen years, and we work as members of your team, carrying defined systems from prototype through launch and live-ops.
- Senior engineers only, no juniors billed to your project
- One embedded unit covering netcode, backend, UI, gameplay, AI, and rendering
- Direct access to the engineers doing the work, no account managers in between
- A decade of shipping inside other studios' codebases and pipelines
- Time-and-materials against defined milestones, no fixed-bid padding
- Scales from a single system to the full production cycle and repeat engagements
Engineering & Tools
Your project demands complex technical systems. We provide the engineering depth and development tools that make ambitious features achievable.
Our engineers handle the challenging technical implementation while you focus on the creative vision that only your studio can deliver.
- Multiplayer and netcode from specialists who've shipped it at scale
- Backend and dedicated servers, engine-agnostic when your stack calls for it
- Gameplay features and AI behavior systems, built to your standards
- UI engineering that handles the tedious-but-critical foundation work
- Networked prototypes and vertical slices that prove the fun early
- Performance optimization across mobile and PC
Technical Art & Rendering
Your artists create stunning concepts. We bring the shader expertise that makes them reality.
Our rendering expertise amplifies your visual potential, making the impossible not just possible, but performant across every platform your players use. Technical art direction is available for select engagements, with priority to teams pairing it with our engineering pod.
- HLSL shader authorship for a unique visual edge
- Lighting and post-processing built for your art direction
- GPU profiling and frame-rate recovery that protects the art and the performance
- Artist-facing tools that let your team iterate without an engineer
- Game VFX, synchronized with gameplay and built to perform
- Technical art direction that turns visual ambition from a gamble into a plan
How We Accelerate Success
Our specialty experience eliminates the iteration bottlenecks that slow most Unity teams down. When you've shipped multiple Unity projects across different scales, you learn which shortcuts work and which perfectionist traps waste months. Our proven team delivers the iteration velocity that discovers innovative gameplay while maintaining development momentum.
