Let's
face it - publishers and developers (rightly) only want to
pay for completed project work. Production of enormous amounts
of assets for games is looming on the horizon. Many people
have already felt the squeeze. Our proven
business model fits perfectly with these situations,
no matter what the size of the project. |
|
|
| |
We put
teams together until the job is completed and bring them back
together when the next job happens, just like a movie production.
We have been working with contractors for years on other projects
at other companies, and Critical Mass Interactive has provided
this service exclusively since its inception in early 2003. |
|
|
| |
Developers: Have you ever considered working in an atmosphere like the
original "United Artists," where each contractor
is their own company and you hire yourself out on a project
by project basis? If so, then we just might be the place for
you. |
|
|
| |
We find
work for: independent contractors, game developers that are
'between jobs,' and even entire development studios. |
|
|
| |
Additionally,
many major publishers and developers have us find contract personnel
to work on site at their offices when offsite just isn't feasible.
Our strong personal and professional relationships with
these studios have provided us the ability to work in this
manner. |

Mass Interactive was truly amazing to work with. Billy was
right there for me every step of the way. He handled all aspects

on all correspondence and issues, allowing me to focus on
what I do best... create! This is how outsourcing should be
done. I can't wait to work with them again!"

it on time and under budget. Billy's no nonsense attitude,
knack for business and ability to find the best in people
set him above the rest as a leader. Without any doubt, if

privileged to have Billy Cain as my teammate at CMI."
