Customer Spotlight: Fun Waffle Studios’ 60% Production Boost with Cybever

‍

In the fast-paced world of game development, efficiency and creativity are paramount. Fun Waffle Studios, led by the visionary game producer Brandon Vermeulen, has recently experienced a transformative shift in their production process thanks to Cybever's innovative 3D world-building platform. As the team behind an upcoming desert-themed game project, Fun Waffle Studios has found in Cybever a powerful ally that not only streamlines their workflow but also amplifies their creative potential.

A Game-Changing Discovery

When Brandon first encountered Cybever, he was immediately struck by the platform's potential to revolutionize their pre-production process. "What stood out to me was Cybever's ability to rapidly generate diverse environments with minimal input," Brandon explains. "The level of detail and customization available at our fingertips was truly impressive."

‍

For Brandon and his team, the most surprising aspect of using Cybever has been the sheer speed and quality of the generated content. "Something that used to take me two months to get correct, I can do with Cybever in 20 minutes max," Brandon reveals. This dramatic reduction in production time has allowed the team to focus more on refining gameplay mechanics and storytelling elements.

‍

Before Cybever, Fun Waffle Studios faced significant challenges in the pre-production phase, particularly in environment creation. Brandon admits, "It took us at least a year to get our first environment down correctly the way that we wanted." With Cybever, the team can now rapidly iterate on ideas, testing different layouts and atmospheres without the previous time constraints.

Cybever: A Production Powerhouse

Brandon believes Cybever's unique position stems from its ability to bridge the gap between prototyping and production. "While it’s structured like a prototyping tool, as soon as it leaves your platform, it's no longer a prototyping tool, it's a production tool," he emphasizes. This dual functionality allows for seamless transition from concept to final production.

‍

One feature that Brandon finds particularly groundbreaking is Cybever's ability to generate diverse environments quickly. "The way Cybever seamlessly blends different environmental elements to create believable ecosystems is remarkable," he notes. This innovation allows for the creation of more diverse and realistic game worlds, enhancing player immersion.

‍

Brandon sees Cybever-generated content as a catalyst for change in the industry, particularly for smaller studios and solo developers. "The future is trending towards smaller games," Brandon explains. "We're going to see more solo developers and small teams creating high-quality content. Cybever's tools are perfect for this shift, enabling individuals to produce what previously required large teams.” This democratization of high-quality world creation levels the playing field, ultimately benefiting players through more diverse and ambitious games.

‍

Beyond time savings, Cybever has significantly enhanced Fun Waffle Studios' creative process. "It's like having an entire environmental design team at our disposal," Brandon enthuses. "We can explore ideas that we previously thought were out of reach due to resource constraints. This has opened up new narrative possibilities and gameplay scenarios we hadn't even considered before."

Breaking Down the 60% Reduction in Production Efforts

The impressive 60% reduction in production efforts reported by Fun Waffle Studios is a result of several factors:

‍

1. Asset Creation: "Cybever has cut our asset creation time by at least 60%," Brandon estimates. "What used to take days now takes hours."
2. Environment Building: "Assembling cohesive environments is now a matter of fine-tuning rather than building from scratch. This alone has saved us weeks of work."
3. Iteration Cycles: "We can now go through multiple iterations in a single day, compared to one or two a week previously. This rapid iteration has dramatically improved our design process."
4. Concept Visualization: "Cybever allows us to quickly visualize concepts, helping us make faster and more informed decisions about game direction."

‍

As Brandon and Fun Waffle Studios continue to push the boundaries of game development with their new “Trail of the Undead” project, Cybever remains an indispensable tool in their creative arsenal. The platform's ability to significantly reduce production time while enhancing creative possibilities has not only improved their current project but has also expanded their vision for future games.

"Cybever isn't just a tool; it's a game-changer," Brandon concludes. "It's allowing us to bring our wildest creative visions to life, and I'm excited to see how it will continue to evolve and shape the future of game development."
