For people locked indoors during the pandemic, video games became an inseparable part of life, bringing joy and distraction from the chaos in the outer world. For that very reason, the gamedev industry has seen unprecedented market growth that doesn’t seem to slow down in the years to come. By 2025 the value of the gaming domain will reach $256.97 billion expanding its audience coverage to 3.5 billion people. Tapping into this goldmine, gamedev companies strain the muscle of their in-house teams, trying to create top-notch gaming experiences. What stops them from succeeding and why do internal teams appear inefficient in tackling challenges that pop up during the game development process? We’ve got the answers.

Why in-house gamedev fails

The demand for external software development is growing not without a reason. In terms of gamedev, embarking an internal team on the end-to-end process of video game creation is full of pocket-emptying risks. Here are the most crucial ones.

Insufficiency of out-of-the-box ideas

One of the key reasons for failing games is lack of innovation, creativity, and fun. Although your in-house team might be highly expertised in gamedev, the pace and frequency at which new games have to be released to stay afloat gives no room for creative recharging and can easily lead to being caught up within the circle of similar ideas, styles, and logics.

Pocket-draining experience

It’s in no way an exaggeration to say that in-house game development costs a small fortune. Keeping overheads down is a major challenge when opting for building a team of at least 10 experienced professionals and equipping them technically. Let alone the costs of training newcomers who might not appear a perfect match for your project and be responsible for additional error-related expenses.

Tight deadlines

Successful game development is one that strictly follows the strategy and solves any emerging problems promptly without sacrificing time and pushing forward the deadline dates. It might seem obvious but if you face a challenge requiring additional expertise your in-house specialists do not enjoy, finding the required talents on the spot is nothing short of nearly impossible.

High team cohesion dependency

Project strategy adherence and deadline compliance are in direct correlation with the quality of the team at your disposal. Newly-assembled teams are much less capable of producing top-tier results as it takes time to understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses to be able to complement them for the benefit of the gamedev project. Building a team from the ground up sounds solid but in reality, it might not be the best solution if you’re targeted at conquering the gaming industry.
