Measures of success

Training time, error rate, conversion, adoption or another agreed signal.

03
Value and risk

What the outcome is worth, what could block it and what must be validated.

04
Three investment paths

Clear choices with increasing reach, certainty and value.

Technology follows the outcome: Unity, OpenXR, WebGL, AR Foundation and the right delivery platform.

Proposal Options

Start with the change you need — not the app you think you need.

Three questions reveal whether specialist Unity development is likely to create enough business value to justify an engagement.

1/3 — Which outcome matters most?
2/3 — How could success be measured?
3/3 — What is the decision context?

There may be a strong fit.

Three places where Unity creates disproportionate business value

The focus is narrow by design: complex knowledge, products or behavior that become easier to understand when people can experience them.

VR

Immersive Training & Simulation

Unity VR development for situations that are expensive, dangerous or difficult to reproduce in the real world.

  • Reduce time to competency
  • Practice rare or hazardous scenarios safely
  • Measure decisions, errors and completion
  • Meta Quest, Pico, OpenXR and desktop
3D

Interactive Product Visualization

Real-time 3D, WebGL and AR experiences that help customers and stakeholders understand a product before it is built, bought or installed.

  • Shorten explanation and decision cycles
  • Increase qualified engagement and conversion
  • Reduce configuration mistakes and returns
  • WebGL, iOS, Android, desktop and AR
SG

Serious Games & Behavior Change

Purpose-built game systems for learning, compliance, onboarding and customer activation — designed around the behavior that should change.

  • Connect mechanics to a defined outcome
  • Measure completion, choices and retention
  • Build for mobile, browser, desktop or XR
  • Avoid superficial points-and-badges gamification
Problem before platformUnity is recommended only when it is the right vehicle for the outcome.
Expertise before capacityYou hire a senior specialist to reduce uncertainty, not a pair of hands by the hour.
Evidence before expansionValidate the riskiest assumption before committing to full production.

What My Clients Say

Feedback from decision-makers and project owners; roles and organizations are anonymized where required by NDA.

"The VR training measurably reduced our accident rate. We were particularly impressed by the close coordination during development — a working build every two weeks that we could test right away."

Head of HSEChemical Corporation, 8,000+ employees

"The 3D configurator significantly increased our online conversion. Customers can now experience our products before they buy. The WebGL solution also runs on smartphones — that was important to us."

Head of E-CommerceFurniture Manufacturer, 500+ employees

"Finally a freelancer who doesn't just code, but thinks along with us. The team turned our vague brief into a well-thought-out AR app that our service technicians actually enjoy using."

Project Lead DigitalizationMachine Manufacturer, 1,200 employees

"Our booth was the crowd magnet of the entire trade show. The interactive 3D application didn't just attract visitors — it generated qualified conversations that led directly to orders."

Marketing DirectorAutomotive Supplier, 1,200 employees

Specialist advice, not undifferentiated development capacity

You work directly with the senior specialist who diagnoses, recommends and builds. The goal is a better business decision — including a clear no when Unity is not the right answer.

01

Deep Unity Specialization

More than 12 years focused on Unity, C# and real-time 3D. That depth reduces technical uncertainty and avoids expensive learning on your project.

02

Advice Before Execution

I challenge the brief, identify the riskiest assumptions and recommend the smallest credible route to the outcome before production begins.

03

One Accountable Counterpart

No sales-to-delivery handoff and no hidden junior team. You speak with the person responsible for the recommendation, architecture and working result.

Agencies with a Specialist Gap

Senior white-label Unity expertise for a defined outcome, with direct client communication available when useful.

Strong fit

  • A decision-maker owns a meaningful business outcome
  • Success can be observed or measured
  • Real-time interaction or spatial understanding adds value
  • There is a credible investment case, not just curiosity

Usually not a fit

  • Staff augmentation selected only by hourly rate
  • Unpaid concepts, speculative prototypes or pitch competitions
  • A feature list with no agreed business objective
  • Consumer entertainment projects without validated funding

Proven technology, selected after the outcome is clear

Agreement before proposal. Evidence before expansion.

The process protects both sides from vague scope, unpaid solutioning and projects that produce deliverables without changing the business condition.

Fit Call

A short conversation confirms the business problem, decision-maker, urgency and investment context. No pitch deck and no speculative concepts.

Value & Success Definition

We agree on objectives, observable measures, value, risks and joint responsibilities. If uncertainty is material, a paid diagnostic comes first.

Three-Option Proposal

You receive concise choices with increasing reach, certainty and value. The fee is fixed for each option and tied to the agreed outcome, not hours.

Evidence-Led Delivery

Working builds test the riskiest assumptions early. Progress is reviewed against the agreed measures through launch, handover and optional optimization.

What does a senior Unity engagement cost?

A useful answer needs business context. Fees are fixed around agreed objectives, success measures, value and risk — not multiplied hours. These ranges are planning guidance, not pre-scoped packages.

No unpaid pitch. No hourly incentive to take longer.

A proposal summarizes prior agreement. When the business case is not yet clear enough, the next responsible step is a paid diagnostic — not a guess disguised as a fixed quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

A focused validation engagement starts at €9,500. Production engagements typically range from €25,000 to €90,000; complex enterprise programs can be higher. The final fee is based on agreed business outcomes, success measures, value, risk and scope rather than hours worked.

Core engagements use fixed, value-based fees. After objectives, success measures and business value are agreed, the proposal presents three options with increasing value. Time-based support is reserved for narrowly defined maintenance or team augmentation.

A short fit call confirms whether the problem, authority, timing and investment are aligned. Then the decision-maker and I define objectives, success measures and value. If important uncertainty remains, a paid diagnostic or validation sprint comes first. No speculative concepts or unpaid solution design are included in a pitch.

A focused validation sprint usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. A production engagement commonly takes 8 to 24 weeks depending on integrations, content, compliance and platforms. Working builds and agreed success measures make progress visible throughout.

The strongest fit is a B2B project where VR, AR, a serious game or interactive 3D can improve a measurable outcome such as training time, safety, error rates, product understanding, sales conversion or user adoption.

Meta Quest, Pico and OpenXR headsets; iOS and Android through AR Foundation, ARKit and ARCore; WebGL for browser delivery; and Windows or macOS desktop applications. The platform is selected after the user context and business outcome are clear.

The agreed source code and intellectual property transfer to the client after final payment. Engagements include clean handover, documentation, a German contract and NDA protection when required.

Yes, when a senior Unity specialist is needed for a clearly owned outcome. White-label delivery, direct client communication and collaboration with internal teams are available when responsibilities and decision rights are clear.
