Outsourcing game development has become the most preferred choice of game developers to deliver projects on time. Outsourcing services are comparatively cheaper and it also saves a lot of time as you can hire many skilled and trained artists without any trouble. Outsourcing agencies are easy to handle and flexible to work. All outsourcing companies might not deliver high-quality results, but if you do a proper research of the companies before finalizing your outsourcing company, you can achieve your desired result at the end. Before choosing your game art outsourcing company, keep these few things in mind to avoid trouble in the future.

Experience matters when you choose your outsourcing company. Check their past projects and works. Make sure if they have worked on the type of games that you need to work on. Check whether they can meet your requirements and whether they are able enough to satisfy your needs. Go ahead only if they meet the above requirements

Assign a small task to be completed. Many a time’s companies can fraud you with fake and attractive portfolios. To check their expertise and ability you can give them a test assignment to be completed. If you are happy and satisfied with the assignment you can go ahead and be sure of their capabilities. Also, check whether the company has good infrastructure such as servers, project management systems, high configuration systems etc. So that even if something goes wrong at the time of game development your project work will be carried on smoothly. Communication with the game developers and an understanding of their work is very necessary to avoid any kind of trouble at the time of game development.

Make sure that the company is priced rightly. You select outsourcing for one of the reasons being, it is cheaper. Companies might price comparatively high than usual so beforehand check properly whether it meets your budget and the prices do not increase than estimated.

Always keep connected to your project and make sure that you are updated on each and every progress of your game development. Try to fix a convenient timing to talk and receive weekly status updates from the game developers. So that if there is anything wrong happening you can fix it then and there rather than waiting till the end.

Another important aspect is to get a NonDisclosure Agreement signed between you and the outsourcing company stating your demands and what the outsourcing company can deliver you, their proper pricing and the project deadline.
