Dead by Daylight: Co-development with Behaviour Interactive 

Our valued partner Behaviour Interactive requested our rendering services to provide the players of 2016’s Dead by Daylight with the best possible multiplayer horror gaming experience. In partnering closely with the partner, Room 8 Group became an integral part of the team, providing support across rendering, optimization, technical debt reduction, and live development support services. 

The challenge 

Our main task: improve visuals, introduce next-generation technologies into the render pipeline, and provide post-release support. 

What we did 

We ensured art assets were technically sound and bug-free; streamlined art production pipelines; and reduced technical debt. 

Thanks to the Room 8 Group team’s proactivity and initiative, we identified issues early and resolved them in short order. Our team also provided post-release support for the project, guaranteeing the implementation of essential updates to enhance the gaming experience for Dead by Daylight’s loyal fanbase.  

The outcome 

Our work on a previous Behaviour Interactive title, Meet Your Maker, set us up to succeed on Dead by Daylight. Thanks to a strong mutual trust, our integration into the project was smooth, and the work produced was of high quality. We’re proud to have worked on Dead by Daylight with the partner’s talented team.  

What the partner said

Room 8 Group displayed impressive technical expertise, showcasing a deep knowledge of Unreal Engine and helping us push the visual boundaries of the game even further, most notably with a direct impact on the game’s lighting and the end game collapse’s post-process effects.
