Building a game is a project: people, time, milestones, cost. SuiteProjects tracks that effort and cost so you know what a title actually costs to build — the number that then gets capitalised as an asset and measured against the revenue it earns. It is also the PSA tool for any services arm that delivers client projects.
SuiteProjects (PSA) brings the project lifecycle into NetSuite — planning, resourcing, time and expense, project accounting and billing — so a project has a P&L, not just a deadline.
Break a build into phases, tasks and milestones with dependencies and a schedule — visibility into where a game is in development.
Match the right people to the work, track utilisation and see who is on what across concurrent builds — capacity before it becomes a bottleneck.
Capture time and expense against each project, so effort and cost land where they belong rather than disappearing into overhead.
Roll labour, expense and external cost into a true project cost — the capitalisable build cost of a game, captured as it accrues.
For services work, drive milestone, T&M or fixed-fee billing and the revenue recognition that goes with it — quote to cash on the project.
See planned vs actual cost and margin per project in real time — catch an over-running build before it quietly destroys the title’s ROI.
Game development is months of structured effort, and capturing its true cost is a project-accounting problem. SuiteProjects tracks the labour, time and spend that go into a build, so the capitalised cost is not a guess at year-end — it is the running total of the project. That number is exactly what Fixed Assets then amortises by game.
Join it up and the loop closes: SuiteProjects captures what a title cost to build, Fixed Assets capitalises and amortises it, and the engine reports the revenue it earns — so profitability by game includes the build cost, not just operating margin. That is real ROI per title, from first commit to recouped.
Many gaming groups also run services — integration, managed operations, B2B delivery. SuiteProjects is the PSA backbone for that: resourcing, utilisation, project margin and billing, on the same ledger as everything else.
A short call on how you track game development cost today and whether it ties to revenue per title. We'll show project accounting on NetSuite, wired to fixed assets and the engine.
