Prismatic Studios

Prismatic Studios is an Auckland-based video game development studio and Unreal Engine technical consultancy. It works across co-development, full-cycle game development and specialist engineering support for independent teams, international publishers and enterprise organisations.

The studio’s work centres on Unreal Engine development in C++ and Blueprints, combining systems and gameplay engineering with technical leadership, architecture review, client-server networking, performance profiling and optimisation. Its teams also support platform porting for PC, mobile and console releases, alongside interactive simulations, virtual-production tooling and digital exhibits.

Development support and technical delivery

Prismatic embeds senior engineers and technical artists within client pipelines for co-development engagements, while also leading projects from game design through launch. Its technical consulting work includes engine optimisation, memory and CPU/GPU profiling, code review and networking analysis.

As an Epic Games Unreal Engine Gold Service Partner, the studio collaborates with Epic Games’ Developer Relations team to help Unreal Engine licensees address complex technical challenges. It also serves as a New Zealand-based outsourced development partner for Lightspeed Studios, providing engineering, art and production support.

Games, simulation and interactive work

Prismatic’s credits span game co-development and technical optimisation, including work on Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate, Goblins of Elderstone and Renown. Alongside commercial game work, it has developed interactive systems for rail safety planning, SailGP training and yacht configuration, climate-change education and virtual-production pre-visualisation.

The studio also develops internal Unreal Engine products, including marketplace plugins such as World Space Widgets and JSON Validator, and is developing an original real-time melee action game. Its mix of game development, technical consultancy and interactive-simulation work allows it to support projects requiring both creative production and deep engine expertise.
