EVEGOPLAYON expands from hard-surface art into a balanced character work pipeline

EVEGOPLAYON says it has reached an even split across hard-surface, character and environment art in two years as game studios consolidate more work with a single vendor. The Tashkent-based outsourcing studio now serves more than 20 clients across the US, Europe and Asia and is leaning on conferences, internal tools and premium pricing to keep that growth going.

Why it matters: - Game studios often split art production across multiple vendors, with one studio handling hard-surface work and another covering characters. - EVEGOPLAYON says it is winning full-scope projects by offering hard-surface, character and environment art under one roof. - The shift lets clients consolidate work with one vendor instead of managing two or more shops. - That consolidation can reduce coordination risk, rework and budget duplication.

What happened: - EVEGOPLAYON says it closed the gap between its hard-surface specialty and character and environment art within two years. - The studio now handles the three disciplines in roughly equal measure. - The Tashkent, Uzbekistan-based company serves more than 20 regular clients across the US, Europe and Asia. - Most of those clients are long-standing game studios and developers. - Some client relationships were built at industry conferences and maintained between projects. - The studio marks five years in business this August.

The details: - EVEGOPLAYON says its team is close to 70 people. - The studio says most of that team was built through referrals over five years rather than open hiring. - In 2024, EVEGOPLAYON committed to attending international conferences on a permanent basis. - The first stop was GDS in the Philippines, a local edition of Canada’s XDS conference. - The studio also attended Korea’s GSTAR and other regional events across Asia. - Those in-person meetings coincided with existing and new clients increasing commissions for characters and other work. - COO Valentin Tsaranov says the studio expanded into character creation after gaining confidence in its environment work and recognizing its hard-surface capacity was not unlimited. - EVEGOPLAYON runs its own internal task-and-time tracking system instead of using third-party platforms such as Asana. - The CTO built the system and continues to refine it. - The studio says it uses AI tools to improve that internal system. - The tool tracks team tasks, time and artists’ day-to-day output.

Between the lines: - The studio is betting that breadth matters as much as specialization in game art outsourcing. - Winning full-project scope can lift revenue per client, but it also raises the bar on consistency across disciplines. - EVEGOPLAYON is signaling that relationship-building still matters in an industry where remote work is now the norm for many teams. - The pricing message is deliberate: the studio is positioning itself away from low-bid competition and toward clients willing to pay for quality. - Tsaranov says the company does not try to sell art cheaply. - He says studios that chase the lowest bid often end up with weak art that has to be re-released many times.

What's next: - EVEGOPLAYON plans to keep using conferences to build and maintain client relationships. - The studio is expected to keep expanding character work alongside hard-surface and environment production. - Potential clients can review the studio’s portfolio and pitch deck upon request. - More information is available at EVEGOPLAYON
