Collaborators
"Their work ethic is unmatched. They are proactive, detail oriented, and deeply committed to delivering high quality results. No question is ever treated as stupid, and no concern is brushed aside. Everything is met with thoughtfulness, clarity, and a solutions focused mindset.
What truly sets them apart is their approach. They do not step in to dictate direction. Instead, they listen first, understand the intent behind the work, and then build in a way that enhances what is already there. That collaborative spirit, paired with serious hard work, makes them an exceptional team to build with.
On a personal level, I genuinely enjoy working with them. The process feels constructive, respectful, and energising. I fully intend to continue working with Maximalist on future projects and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a committed and collaborative development partner."

We brought on Corrin as a lead programmer who stepped in and provided insightful notes to help iterate on our development practices as requested. His responsibilities also included reviewing code, preparing infrastructure proposals, mentoring juniors and feature implementation. He also streamlined our Unity to Steam pipeline , taking a huge load off our team.
Corrin integrated very well with our team, he gets on with everyone, keeps an infectious positive attitude and was on hand to help out as random issues popped up. Maximalist were extremely helpful, friendly, flexible and adaptable to our needs and I highly recommend them for your projects.
