The Story

The growing demand for video games around the world has prompted CrazyLabs executives to consider increasing their production capacity. They decided to launch a development team in Ukraine, a country with a good selection of qualified, highly motivated, and loyal local developers. To do this, they turned to a Ukrainian company Newxel, which for several years has been successfully creating offshore development teams from scratch for various companies around the globe.
