Level Up Indies: How to Scale Your Studio

When Bit Fry started, their mission was to deliver the arcade experience to your phone. As they embarked on creating their follow up game Ultimate Rivals: The Court, their teams needed to find a way to scale and meet increased demand.

Teams needed to come together. Assets required a single source of truth. And Bit Fry needed to accelerate without sacrificing quality. How did they do it?

SJ Belen

Animator, Bit Fry

Raised in the DC metropolitan area, I realized I wanted to pursue art while taking a calc test, so I wrote my goodbye to my teacher on the test then left to drop the class. I studied animation at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and Bit Fry is my first professional animation job.

Alexander Brooks

Technical Director, Bit Fry

Originally hailing from mid-coast Maine, I joined up with Bit Fry early in the company's history. During my time here I've worn many hats and done everything from early gameplay prototyping and programming, to environment art, to VFX and rigging. I enjoy the challenges and multi-disciplinary elements of game development and am always looking to learn more skills.
