Supporting Stylized World Building and Gameplay Expansion for Squad Busters
Scaling Live Game Production Through
Structured Partnership For Brawl Stars
End-to-End Game Production. Built to Scale.
Modma Studios works with game teams to support art and production across mobile, PC, and console. We become part of your team, helping you build, run, and support games from early development to live operations.
About the Project
About the Project
In November 2023, Modma Studios began collaborating with Supercell on Squad Busters during an early stage of the game's development. What started as a focused 3D character art test with a single artist evolved into a structured art production partnership supporting characters, environments, renders, and live content updates.

Over the next two years, Modma Studios became a reliable content scaling partner for the project. Through dedicated art pods and disciplined production workflows, the team delivered assets while maintaining strong visual consistency, high acceptance rates, and reliable milestone delivery.
The collaboration continued until the game's final production update in December 2025.

The Challenge
The Challenge
As Squad Busters expanded, the demand for stylized, production-ready assets increased rapidly. The game required a wide range of assets including characters, environments, and marketing renders while maintaining the bold visual identity of the game.
The production environment required:
As Squad Busters expanded, the demand for stylized, production-ready assets increased rapidly. The game required a wide range of assets including characters, environments, and marketing renders while maintaining the bold visual identity of the game.
The production environment required:
Scalable game art production across multiple asset categories
Consistent stylization across characters and environments
High-volume character art and environment art creation
Reliable turnaround times aligned with milestone-based releases
Seamless integration into internal production pipelines
Supercell needed a partner capable of scaling art teams quickly while maintaining visual quality, technical stability, and predictable delivery timelines.

STAT LEAN, SCALE SMART
he collaboration began with one dedicated 3D artist focused on character styling and development. This initial test phase helped establish creative alignment and production reliability.
Once alignment was achieved, Modma Studios scaled the collaboration methodically by expanding the team and introducing structured production workflows.

DELIVERING WITH PRODUCTION DISCIPLINE
Production workflows were embedded into milestone-based release cycles to support the game's content updates. Structured reviews, QA validation, and coordinated delivery ensured assets met visual standards while maintaining stable production timelines.
This approach allowed Modma Studios to deliver high volumes of assets while maintaining strong quality control.
