Our process
How We Build
Every project moves through a clear, practical process. Each stage helps turn an early idea into an experience ready to share.
Research
Explore the idea, audience and practical requirements.
Planning
Define the experience, scope and development phases.
Design
Shape the visual identity, user journey and interactions.
Prototype
Build and test the core experience before expanding it.
Testing
Check usability, gameplay, accessibility and reliability.
Polish
Refine presentation, performance and small details.
Launch
Prepare the project for release when it is genuinely ready.
Creative direction
Behind the Scenes
Every project starts long before the first line of code.
Ideas are explored, visual references are created, features are planned and every phase is reviewed before development continues.
Modern AI tools help accelerate planning, implementation and testing, but creative direction, product decisions and final approval remain central to every McNally Creations project.
The goal is not simply to build software. It is to create experiences people enjoy returning to.
