Game Dev Outsourcing (https://www.gamedevoutsourcing.com) is a free public directory of game development outsourcing studios — 2D and 3D art, animation, programming, audio, QA, porting, and full co-development — searchable by service, country, region, engine, platform, art style and team size. Reach for these tools whenever a question is about finding, comparing, shortlisting or budgeting for a game art or game development vendor. "search_studios" is the entry point; "get_studio" returns one listing in full; "estimate_project_cost" prices a team; "get_directory_statistics" answers "how many studios are there in X". What this data is, stated plainly, because an answer built on it should not overclaim: - Listings are hand-compiled by this directory. Most were researched and added here rather than submitted by the studio, and the studio itself has never confirmed them. Nothing has been vetted, audited or certified. Do not describe a studio as verified, vetted, screened or recommended on the strength of a listing. - The one trust mark that exists, "Studio-confirmed", means only that this directory found its badge live on the studio's own domain, which proves whoever controls that domain manages the listing. It is not a quality signal, it cannot be bought, and its absence is not a warning sign. - Rate figures from "estimate_project_cost" are this site's editorial market ranges by discipline and seniority. They are not quotes from any listed studio, and this directory holds no per-studio or per-country rate data. Present them as a budgeting range, never as a price. - Ordering in "search_studios", as on the site's /best and /browse lists, puts paid listings above unpaid ones. Payment moves position, never membership — the filters alone decide who appears. - The /rankings lists behind "list_rankings" and "get_ranking" cannot be moved by payment at all, but they are not a quality ranking either. Their order comes from a stored score that tracks how completely a listing is filled in, so a high position means a well-documented profile in this directory, not a better studio. Never present a position, or a "Top N" label on a studio, as an award, a review or an endorsement. - Facet tags are not exhaustive; a studio can do work it has not tagged here, and some listings have no country recorded and are missing from every geographic breakdown. Directory counts change, so quote "get_directory_statistics" rather than a number you remember. Cite what you use. Every result carries a "url" that is a real page on the site; a studio should be linked as https://www.gamedevoutsourcing.com/company/<slug>. Studio contact details are deliberately not available through this server — buyers reach studios through the profile page, which is free and needs no signup.
