"Every production of genius must be the production of enthusiasm."
(Benjamin Disraeli)
TechFront has a passion for creation. From the beginning of a project until the full-featured game is complete, there is a highly committed focus to quality, originality and fun. These production values are part of a process minted to keep all our professionals and players motivated all the time and the level of enthusiasm at the top, constantly challenging conventions.
TechFront was founded in 2006 and is today Brazil’s largest game development studio. We were the first Brazilian studio to develop for the Nintendo DS and Wii and now develop for all modern game platforms, with a focus on fun, high-quality, easy-to-play titles. Our studio is located in Curitiba (State of Parana), where TechFront counts with over 40+ full-time employees, including English-speaking team leaders, game designers and producers. Among our greatest strengths are:
* Founded in 2006, TechFront has over 4 years of accumulated experience and a great portfolio track-record
* Our vast experience with Flash technology for rapid prototyping, portability and flexibility
* A highly-efficient, simultaneous multiplatform production pipeline
* Previous experience on PS2/Xbox development
* Experience developing 3D engines and 3D art
* Use of both internal tools and engines and commercially licensed engines (Infernal, Gamebryo, etc.);
* Experience in developing a commercial, fully-featured 3D MMORPG
* Our focus on small teams formed by highly experienced individuals to achieve maximum productivity per title developed
* Very high production values at reasonable costs
* 30+ commercially released titles
The adoption of international standards processes in programming, art and production helped to create a clear internal vision for the company, guided primarily by the focus on high-quality production values and the constant desire to create great entertaining games.

TechFront supports the following platforms
TechFront Method
TechFront works cooperatively with its partners. All our development projects have weekly iterations with customers - even along the cycle of production/coding of the product. In other words, every week TechFront provides a new version of the product and our client is therefore able to evaluate the product's progression and/or align the direction of the development to ensure full compliance with product needs and the natural, dynamic changes that are part of the videogame business.
In addition, starting in the early concept phase, TechFront prototypes each product as a way to minimize risks and to properly deal with usability issues when evaluating interfaces. Adobe Flash is used as the main prototyping tool for iterative design and formative evaluation, and the experience we have accumulated with this technology allows us to support a rapid prototyping process.
TechFront’s background in the casual games market has generated a portfolio of several successful games in a short amount of time, as we always aim to work with small teams made up of highly experienced and motivated individuals. Skilled and organized project management and personnel interactivity are the main keys to achieving maximum productivity and the highest possible quality.
Web and Internet Portals Projects
TechFront is also involved in the creation and production of a variety of other e-commerce and portal-based corporate sites for a variety of Brazilian and International clients, taking advantage of its advanced expertise in Flash, e-commerce solutions and web technology. Finally, all of TechFront’s game titles always include a web-playable version to support our clients’ ad-revenue supported business models.
