Articles on game development, platform delivery, and building lasting value from game IP.
A practical, technical checklist for deciding whether an older game needs a full remake or just a remaster - covering source code, engine, assets, gameplay code, platforms, budget and audience, with a simple scoring model and the red flags that settle the question early.
Full game development on an existing IP starts long before anyone opens Unreal or Unity. Here are the five things we focus on first - from IP analysis to production planning - and why they decide whether the new game feels right.
Your first prototype won't look like the game in your head, and that is exactly how it should be. Why a rough first game is the best teacher there is, and how we help new creators get from that first build all the way through the paperwork of a real release.
In just a few minutes, Lynci can scan a game project and point to potential issues that would otherwise take hours of manual investigation to find. Here is what it looks at, what it gives developers, and why it is a head start rather than a replacement.
Our monthly report is back, and this time it covers the whole of Q4. Console prices went up, Switch 2 is filling up with ports, remasters now launch on five or six platforms at once and GTA VI is reshaping the end of the year. Here is what each trend means if you are planning a port or a remake.
Where the name Lynci comes from, why it started as EasyGamePort, how we use AI only as an engineering tool, why there is no lock-in, and how the fixed-price tiers work. A full overview of our AI-native porting framework.
Lynci just got a major upgrade, and this time it changes how porting is priced. Fixed-price game porting in clear tiers for indie, premium indie and AA games, with QA, certification and standard post-release support included.
PEPPERED: An Existential Platformer gives you one shot at everything, and that is exactly what makes it hard to port. Here is how we brought Mostly Games' branching, one-shot platformer from PC to PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch without losing its personality.
Bringing a game from PC to consoles isn't just about remapping controls. A menu that works with a mouse can fall apart on a couch, ten feet from a TV, navigated with a thumbstick - and platform holders will reject a submission over it.
Most games never reach their full revenue potential - not because the game is bad, but because there's untapped revenue sitting right in front of the studio: consoles, older IPs, and audiences a PC-only release never reaches.
When bringing an older game to a modern platform, one of the first questions a team has to answer is whether to remaster it or rebuild it. They sound similar. Technically, they're very different approaches.
One of the first steps in Lynci is the Project Scan. Instead of jumping straight into changing the project, it builds a technical picture of the game first - here's what that actually looks at, and why it matters.
One game, two generations of Xbox hardware, one goal: make The Cub feel like it was built for Xbox from day one. Here's what the port involved.
Porting a game to another platform is rarely as simple as "make it run and ship it." Here are the seven mistakes we see most often - and what they cost if they aren't caught early.
September is one of the busiest months of the year for game releases. We mapped the month's biggest competitive clusters - and the windows that might actually work in a smaller title's favor.
Game porting shouldn't mean coordinating multiple vendors, chasing deadlines, or discovering problems after launch. Here's what it looks like when one team takes full responsibility instead.
Spoiler: you probably shouldn't rebuild the custom engine. Here's how we approach remaking older games - and five things we've learned along the way.
You already have the game, the audience and the community. The question is how much more value you can get out of the IP you already own - and that's what we help answer.
Porting starts with a simple question - how is this project actually built? Lynci answers it with a high-level view of the game's architecture before a single line of code changes.
Bringing Trail Out to PlayStation 5 meant more than making the game run. We adapted the experience, optimized the physics, and integrated PlayStation-specific features to make it feel native.
A typical porting project takes around six months. With our AI-powered tooling, we can cut that timeline by up to 60% - and the real value goes far beyond saved time.
Lynci is LYNXBYTE GAMES' internal technology for automating game porting workflows in Unity, Unreal Engine, and eventually custom engines.
