Case Study: Red Kite Games achieves 73% reduction in build times (225 min to 60 min) with Incredibuild

Even while porting to the new Google Stadia YETI, Red Kite was reducing build times by 66% from 225 min to 60 min!

Red Kite Games is a six-developer video game studio that runs roughly 40 overnight and 100 daytime builds and was facing long compilation times while porting an existing code base to Google Stadia (YETI). These heavy build workloads disrupted developer focus and slowed the development cycle, so Red Kite turned to Incredibuild to accelerate compilations and keep their team productive.

Using Incredibuild to distribute and speed up compilations, Red Kite cut full build time from 225 minutes to 60 minutes (a 73% reduction), allowing overnight runs of obscure configurations, preserving developer context during the day, and optimizing time to market without buying more build machines. Incredibuild’s solution dramatically reduced wait times and improved Red Kite’s development processes and team productivity.
