Case Study: Jackbox Games streamlines content creation with Brainhub's custom desktop app

Jackbox Games streamlines content creation in 10 months with Brainhub

Jackbox Games, an American gaming studio and leader in the party games genre, faced challenges in streamlining the creative workflow between its content writers, editors, and developers. Their outdated tool hindered productivity and required a refreshed UI. They partnered with vendor Brainhub to develop a custom, standalone desktop content management application to address these issues and improve the process.

Brainhub engineered a solution using Electron, React, and Node.js. The key challenge was integrating with the Perforce CMS, which Brainhub solved by creating a custom client and adding a MongoDB database layer for fast indexing and searches. They implemented real-time updates via WebSockets to prevent users from editing the same files simultaneously. This new system from Brainhub successfully streamlined the studio's creative processes and accelerated their content creation.
