Beanstalker

One of our defining shipped titles: a VR climbing action-adventure set across enormous procedurally generated vertical worlds. Players climb, fight, loot and craft swords, crossbows, shields, grenades and grappling hooks while adapting to changing quests, biomes, enemies, puzzles and bosses. Built for sustained 90+ FPS and later expanded with four-player online co-op, Bean Stalker sold 60,000 copies and currently holds a Very Positive Steam rating from 190 reviews, with 35 achievements and multiple major content updates.

FAQ

Questions specific to this path.

How does beanstalker start?

We begin with current state, constraints, success criteria and the highest-risk assumption before defining implementation.

Can you join an existing team?

Yes. Ownership boundaries, codebase condition and delivery risk are mapped before production systems change.

What happens after delivery?

Handover, embedded capacity or managed operation are agreed around the product and internal team.

NEXT STEP

Bring us the constraint, not a polished brief.

A technical lead will review the current state and recommend the smallest useful next step.
