From Small Art Pod to Full Production Powerhouse: How an AAA Game Studio Scaled from 3 to 15 Artists in 30 Days

 This AAA studio had the green light on an ambitious expansion pack, but their in-house art pod was already maxed out. Outsourcing had burned them before — inconsistent style, missed deadlines, and long onboarding times had cost them months. They couldn’t afford that again, especially with:

• Multiple parallel milestones locked into publisher contracts.
• High-stakes IP that required tight creative control.
• A global launch schedule that left zero room for slip-ups.

 Rather than piecing together contractors or testing a trial engagement, the studio went all-in on Exodia Uno’s Full Suite service — securing a complete, coordinated solution from sourcing to final delivery under one system and brand.

Within days, Exodia Uno delivered a curated shortlist of environment artists, character artists, and prop specialists — all vetted for AAA pipelines, proprietary engine workflows, and the studio’s exact art style.

 Exodia Uno handled all contracts, compliance, workstation provisioning, and secure repository access — ensuring every hire could create production-ready assets from day one.

 Artists were deployed in functional pods aligned to the studio’s sprint cycles, producing assets in parallel with animation and QA teams for maximum throughput.

 With Full Suite, Exodia Uno maintained performance oversight, handled asset QA, and kept a ready bench of pre-vetted talent for future scaling — eliminating the delays of fresh recruitment.

• Team scaled from 3 to 15 artists in 30 days.
• 100% of production milestones met without crunch.
• Art output consistency matched core team standards.
• No delays despite overlapping sprints and asset types.

 If your studio needs fast, high-volume scaling without sacrificing creative integrity, a Full Suite approach ensures every role is covered, every tool is ready, and every milestone is met — all under your brand.
