Built by people who ship games.
Not by people who talk about shipping games. Not by people who analyze the economics of shipping games. By people who have actually done it — 58 times, across 30 years, for 134 million players.
TLM → Endava → Monster Gaming
We started as TLM Partners — a game services company that shipped titles for 2K, Gearbox, and Daybreak. In 2023, we were acquired by Endava (LSE: ENDE), a $2B+ enterprise technology company.
After the acquisition, the founding team saw the same thing everyone in game dev was seeing: AI was about to change everything. But nobody was building AI tools for game developers — tools that understood shaders and build pipelines and QA passes, not just chat completion.
So we built them. Monster Gaming is what happens when 30 years of shipping games meets 88 AI agents.
"This platform represents the culmination of my experience, passion, and vision for the future of gaming."
— Jacob Hawley, Founder

The person who ensures Monster Gaming's AI agents produce work that meets real production standards — because he's been setting those standards for three decades.

Four of five worked together at TLM.
Jake, Dennis, Jeal, and Murray all worked at TLM Partners through the Endava acquisition. They know how each other thinks. They've shipped together under pressure. Monster Gaming isn't a team assembled by a recruiter — it's a team forged by actually making games.
45,000 game dev jobs lost since 2022. This isn't about replacing people. It's about letting the people who are left actually ship.
