The Labs
This is the labs, it means our place we
drop some science to our new ideas.
This is where we put our mad caps on and
don't listen to reason and just see what
is possible. You might see some products
in their infancy, some technology that
is 6 months to a year out or some buckets
of fail that are just fun. Never the less
they are iterations and research that shows
our dedication to cutting edge technology
and possibilities, all the while having
a real-world market friendly attitude to
what is business ready today, and what
is marketable tomorrow.
We like this definition the best for our labs:
A facility where relatively small quantities of hazardous materials are used on a non-production basis.
We will be launching our labs shortly, in the meantime there are lots of cool things in the game catalog to look at.
Product Nebula - About Our Iterative Product
Vetting Process
Products at drawcode have a process that helps
to filter good marketable ideas from design to
code to market through a three stage process.
Stage 1:
- Individuals at our location or working
with us get ideas and play around with them usually
in some new technology or a way to make current
technology better. Then they put them in the
lab. This is where more work and interest can
be gained. Some stuff works, others are good
in 6 months to a year, others are just for fun.
- These items are given LAB status and appear
in labs.
Stage 2:
- More individuals, external interest or work
on this project or idea either in direct work
or elaboration and business tests to see that
it is marketable.If so it is turned into an
official project.
- These items are given PROJECT status at drawcode and appear in projects.
Stage 3:
- The project either has successive alpha programs
or has been used and evolved from client projects
into something marketable and usability ready
for the real test, boom, pow, bang, the worr-r-rld.
- Usually
these products are in late stage alpha or beta
with with users that have been using the product
for at least 6 months in live business.
- These items are given PRODUCT status at drawcode
and appear in products.
All this can happen in the window of 6 months
to 2 years. For a successful dedicated product
launch it takes this amount of interest and time
to verify good ideas and test their true marketability.
This is how why you can count on the product
development process and implementation at drawcode
from our creative engineering and software simplification
process that have successfully researched and
help launch the early iterations of multiple
other companies and products.
