Infrastructure sized for an ordinary day
Launch-day players outnumber later traffic several times over, and without elasticity you lose exactly the first cohort.

Game development, with the infrastructure for the day it gets busy
HiTechCloud builds games in Unity and Unreal Engine for mobile, PC, console and AR/VR — and supplies the game servers, GPU, DDoS protection and monitoring for life after launch.

Overview
Successful games usually break on infrastructure, not on gameplay
A game that lands with players hits exactly the problem studios prepare for least: tens of thousands of simultaneous connections, latency that has to stay low, player data that cannot be lost, and someone always probing the servers with a denial-of-service attack.
HiTechCloud approaches a game project from both sides. We build the client in Unity or Unreal and design the backend, game servers, databases and networking on the very cloud and GPU platform we operate.
So server costs at 1,000, 10,000 or 100,000 concurrent players are estimated at design time, instead of becoming a surprise after launch.
Common problems
Why so many games struggle in their launch week
High latency for players at home
Servers abroad make the experience in Vietnam noticeably worse than it was in internal testing.
Denial-of-service attacks arrive with the attention
A game with players is a game worth attacking, yet mitigation is usually left until last.
No visibility into where players quit
Without per-level and per-session data, balancing the game comes down to guesswork.

-
06
Cross-platform
One codebase shipped to several platforms, with controls and UI adapted per device.
Partnership model
Three ways to work, depending on the team you have
Not every project needs a full delivery team. HiTechCloud takes on the part that fits what you already have.
- End-to-end delivery: concept, design, development, testing, release and operations.
- Co-development: adding developers, artists or QA engineers to the client's existing team.
- Porting: moving a live title to a new platform without losing quality or performance.
- Infrastructure operations only: game servers, databases and DDoS protection for a title built by another studio.
Process
How a game project is delivered
-
01
Concept and design documents
Defining genre, target players, gameplay mechanics and monetization as a game design document.
-
02
A playable prototype
Building a prototype to check the core loop is genuinely fun before investing in finished art.
-
03
Manufacturing
Code, art, audio, backend and game server built in parallel against agreed milestones.
-
04
Testing and release
Device testing, infrastructure load testing, game balancing, store submission and post-launch monitoring.
How it is delivered
The game and the operations are built together
Game servers, attack mitigation and monitoring are designed alongside the gameplay, so launch day does not start with infrastructure built in a hurry.
- A load test simulating the expected player count before release day.
- Servers in country for Vietnamese players, expanding by region.
- Per-level and per-session data available from the first release.

Customer
Who this service is for
Studios preparing to launch
- The release date is set and the infrastructure limit is unknown.
- You need servers in country to cut latency for Vietnamese players.
- You need denial-of-service mitigation in place from day one.
Overseas publishers releasing in Vietnam
- You need infrastructure and local compliance for the Vietnamese release.
- You want to keep the game core intact and only add regional operations.
- You need an engineering team on Vietnamese working hours.
Businesses that need interactive 3D products
- You want simulation, training or product showcases built with game technology.
- You have no Unity or Unreal Engine team in house.
- It has to run on desktop, mobile and virtual reality hardware.
Why choose HiTechCloud
Where we are strong
Infrastructure is our core trade
Game servers, GPU, bandwidth and DDoS protection are things HiTechCloud runs daily, not something resold for the project.
Running costs known in advance
Infrastructure costs modeled at each concurrent-player milestone, so revenue projections rest on real figures.
A team covering every role
Project management, business analysis, game design, programming, 2D/3D art and QA in one process.
24/7 support after release
Launch is when things break; HiTechCloud's 24/7 technical support channel serves game clients too.
FAQ
FAQ
Should we choose Unity or Unreal Engine?
Unity suits most mobile and 2D games and projects that need to launch quickly across platforms. Unreal is stronger for high-fidelity graphics, open worlds and realistic simulation on PC and console. The choice depends on genre, target platforms and budget, and is settled in the design document.
Do you operate games built by another studio?
Yes. We take on the infrastructure alone: game servers, databases, load balancing, DDoS protection, backup and monitoring, even when another team builds the client.
How are game server costs calculated?
By configuration and actual resource use, at HiTechCloud's published rates. At design time we estimate the cost at different concurrent-player levels so the studio can build it into its financial plan.
Who owns the game?
The client does. Source code, art assets, design documents and publishing accounts are handed over in full and stated in the contract.
