With an ever changing and maturing Video Game Industry, 3rd Party External Development has become increasingly more attractive to games publishers and larger developers for a variety of different reasons including cost savings, headcount, and time constraints. What differentiates 3rd Party External Development from Outsourcing is the dynamic between the client and the vendor. 3rd Party is a collaborative, iterative process between both companies while outsourcing is linear.

Production Road is a turnkey external development solution for prototyping, ports/conversions and full product development. With access to more than 250 dev teams and our own veteran project management staff, Production Road offers its clients a comprehensive and efficient pipeline to secure the best 3rd Party External Development partner which matches budget, quality, work scope and timeframe.

Production Road can develop fully playable prototypes or engage external resources to partner with the client's internal team to compete an original demo which serves as a baseline for later stages of development.
