From idea to implementation:Implementation
MindArk approached N-iX with the need to supplement their expertise in PC games and create a cross-platform mobile solution to reach a wider audience. The team received the task to develop a game in a city building genre with turn-based battles and cute game art. Thus our specialists were engaged in the game art, concept development, content production as well as the game design process. A big number of characters with various sets of abilities were included to make the game entertaining and engaging. Additionally, the client wanted to link the new game to their successful massive multiplayer Entropia Universe so they decided to include some of its characters in ComPet. The team also added a number of features such as real-time weather effects for enhancing user experience. What’s more, the developers worked on the game admin system that ensures efficient live operations after game launch.
