The Forge Interactive was a valuable partner in helping us improve performance for GRIT on lower-end PC hardware. Their team quickly identified optimization opportunities within our Unreal Engine project and worked closely with us to implement practical solutions that improved the player experience across a wider range of systems.

Throughout the engagement, The Forge demonstrated strong technical expertise, clear communication, and a collaborative approach. Their ability to analyze complex performance challenges and deliver effective results made them a trusted extension of our development team.

Testimonials

Working with The Forge Interactive was a genuinely positive experience. They joined our Unreal Engine project to support graphics programming and optimization, bringing a level of expertise and autonomy that made them contribute meaningfully from day one.

What stood out beyond the technical skill was how easy Wolfgang and the crew were to work with. The team communicated clearly, collaborated well across disciplines, and approached problems methodically. Their grasp of real-time rendering and performance optimization was consistently strong, and the quality of their output reflected that. I’d highly recommend The Forge without hesitation to any studio looking for experienced graphics and engine development support.

Working with The Forge on Intel's Neural Radiance Cache project was a great experience. They quickly extended the path tracer within The Forge to support Neural Radiance Caching on Windows and were on time to deliver an implementation that took into account the specifics of Intel hardware, both leveraging hardware features and paying close attention to optimizations. Their graphics expertise, attention to performance, and collaborative approach made them a valuable engineering partner throughout the project.

Testimonials

We had a great experience working with The Forge / Confetti on Transistor for iPhone and iPad, and would recommend them without reservation. We found they excelled at all aspects of game programming, and were impressed with their communication and production discipline. Thanks to their hard work, our game earned an Apple Editor’s Choice and experienced one of the smoothest launches of any of our titles.
