WebsiteIn their words
“We came to Patchkit with a unique challenge – building a game launcher that could also be used to set up and manage our custom hardware system. Despite the short timeframe, they delivered an excellent product. While the project scope expanded due to the complexity of integrating our system, they adapted well and worked hard to get it done. We particularly appreciated their ability to take the challenges in stride and respond quickly to get us to a successful launch.”
Martin TweedieCTO, Quell

“We got out of PatchKit what we've set out to get out of it: a standalone patcher that will update the game, so people don't have to re-download it all the time. It's easy to use and saves us time on the patcher's maintenance and player's bug fixing.”
Kyle SullivanLead QA, Eleventh Hour Games
“We absolutely love Patchkit. From the quality of their software to their professionalism, attention to detail, and responsiveness. The Patchkit developers are a pleasure to deal with.”
