Theorycraft Games used Zumidian’s GameOps layer to improve live visibility, accelerate response, and support SUPERVIVE through critical pre-launch and open beta windows.

Challenge

Playtests expose gaps before launch does.

As SUPERVIVE moved through closed playtests and open beta, Theorycraft needed clear visibility into live-service signals that affected player experience: concurrent user trends, login and queue health, matchmaking performance, error rates, player drop-offs, and infrastructure anomalies.

The risk was not just whether issues could be detected. The risk was whether the right signals could be surfaced, qualified, and acted on fast enough during live player windows.

Zumidian's role

An operating layer around SUPERVIVE’s live environment.

Zumidian worked with Theorycraft’s observability setup and live operations workflow to provide dashboard visibility, alerting, incident monitoring, and response readiness through closed playtests and open beta.

Operational Analytics Custom dashboards turned live-service signals into actionable visibility for engineering, production, and stakeholders.

Incident Management Continuous monitoring, incident qualification, and fast acknowledgement during live player windows.

Launch Stability & Release Operations Coverage for closed playtests and open beta, with live monitoring and response readiness when player demand was highest.

Why it matters

What this engagement demonstrates

In scope CCU trends, login and queue health, matchmaking performance, error rates, player drop-off signals, and infrastructure anomalies.

What coverage does not mean Coverage is not the same as zero incidents. It means no service in scope was unmonitored, and no alert had an undefined owner when it fired.

Coverage is measured against SUPERVIVE’s production and live-service environments: every service in scope had monitoring in place, alerting configured, and a defined response path before player-facing windows opened.

A 24x7x365 coverage model was in place across closed playtests and open beta, with a <1m 40s MTTA and zero downtime during open beta.

“Their team is proactive, reliable, and highly responsive, helping us maintain strong uptime and quickly address any issues. We trust their expertise and appreciate the peace of mind they bring to our live service.”
