How long does it take your new devs to get productive? A new Unity developer joins the team. By the end of their first week, the lead engineer has already lost 20+ hours walking them through systems:

  • where the gameplay loop starts,,
  • how the combat mechanics depend on the grid,,
  • why progression is split across three managers.,

That’s 20 hours not spent shipping features. Multiply this by just 5 hires a year, and a mid-size studio quietly burns $50K+ in lost productivity. The issue isn’t talent — it’s process. Knowledge locked in people’s heads slows the entire business. Code Maestro changes the equation. Instead of relying on senior hand-holding, it explains the codebase itself:

  • High-level gameplay flows (exploration → combat → reward).,
  • Deep dives into subsystems (progression, combat, inventory).,
  • Clear dependency and module maps, always up to date.,

The result:

  • New hires become productive in days, not weeks.,
  • Senior engineers stay focused on delivery.,
  • Studios move faster — while saving thousands per developer.,
