About Us
At Pearl Lemon Games in the Uk, we engineer gameplay with purpose and precision.
Our studio is built on a passion for creating games that perform.
Engineering Games That Players Stay For
Tired of missed deadlines and technical debt? Our senior dev team ships quality titles on time with clean codebases. We’ve implemented low-latency netcode, optimized memory footprints, and built scalable backends that handle 10,000+ CCU without breaking a sweat. No cookie-cutter solutions here—just battle-tested development expertise across Unity, Unreal, and Roblox platforms. Our technical chops translate directly to your KPIs: 73% better D30 retention and 41% higher ARPU than category averages.

Our Story
We launched Pearl Lemon Games with one goal:
To build games that didn’t break when players showed up.
After seeing too many promising projects collapse under server load, poor netcode, or failed cert processes, we started a studio built around system performance first — visuals second.
Today, we work with studios, publishers, agencies, and tech companies worldwide—delivering games that scale, launch, and retain players.
Who We Serve
- Indie developers scaling up to full launch
- Game studios needing multiplayer/VR/AI specialisation
- Publishers expanding into VR, AR, or cross-platform releases
- Digital agencies needing branded playable experiences
- Tech companies building serious games, simulations, or training platforms
We work with teams that care about launch readiness, compliance, performance, and real user retention—not just demos.
Our Business Model
We operate production-first:
- Fixed-price project builds (full-cycle, sprint-based)
- Technical consulting (multiplayer architecture, AI system planning)
- Live-service and post-launch support (CI/CD updates, analytics, retention tuning)
We don’t “upsell” creative.
We build technical systems you can ship, update, and grow.
How We Operate
- Sprint-based production with bi-weekly deliverables
- Daily standups when embedded into studio pipelines
- Jira, GitHub, and Notion for project tracking and documentation
- Build reviews every milestone (not just at the end)
- Technical debt audits every month to avoid launch disasters
- Launch-readiness checklists before platform submissions
Our process is built around de-risking your project—not around presentations.
Concrete Numbers
- 120+ titles shipped
- 30% faster than standard studio timelines
- 99% platform certification success
- 60+ FPS maintained across mobile, console, VR
