Our Solutions
Combined highly efficient project team with optimal development flow:
Our game designers firstly designed the game, and then the art designers produced the pictures based on the game designers' description;
Art designers produced all pictures in Master version, and then one programmer designed main logics of the game, such as affair handling, (game) major cycle, (game) drawing logic, while another programmer was responsible for concreting function design, such as menu, data store, game operation, etc., after the confirmation of Master version, we began to integrate the game into the cell phones;
Developed the game utilizing professional mobile game development tool kit. We adopted integrated development tools produced by a famous American mobile game development tool provider to migrate the game. The tool integrated the functions of picture resource handling, map editor, porting tool and simulator, which greatly reduced the development cost and time;
Multi-test to guarantee perfect bug-free game. Game functionality was confirmed after testing by simulator, our team and the client's team. We used Google Sheet and Bugzilla to manage the testing processes.
