Mobile gaming behind increasing demand for art outsourcing

The demand for game development has increased significantly over the last decade thanks to the expansion of mobile technology. Smart devices, the massive size of the market, and the ease of development using low-code technology is increasing the pace at which games are made and marketed. The need for rapid development and deployment is leading to new partnerships with global art-sourcing firms.

By leveraging resource-pools based both domestically and offshore — outsourcing — these firms are able to produce design 24 hours per day, which is changing the way the industry approaches the art design and programming process. The shift toward a new asset acquisition model and its influence on the domestic labor market for designers, the evolution is enabling the game development community to deliver higher quality finished projects with greater economic efficiency and consumer satisfaction.
