ЗАДАЧА Перед студией ESK Solutions стояла задача пройти полный цикл создания мобильной игры — от концепции и прототипа до публикации в магазинах и запуска первых рекламных кампаний. Проект Sudoku Space Adventure задумывался как внутренний полигон для подготовки команды разработчиков к производству коммерческих мобильных игр. Требовалось не просто выпустить продукт, а детально проработать каждый этап: геймдизайн, UI/UX, программирование, генерацию контента, интеграцию аналитики и монетизации, тестирование и оптимизацию, а также подготовку магазинных страниц и работу с отзывами. Ключевые требова
THE TASK
To go through the full development cycle of a mobile game: from prototyping, interfaces, design, and development of software code with Unity, to publishing in stores and improving the consumer properties of the game with subsequent updates.
SOLUTION
We chose the Unity engine because we already had C# developers in our staff. This enabled us to employ people from the team and not to look for new personnel. The genre of the game allows the use of simple graphics along with complex calculations in the level generator, which speeds up development and employs mainly C# developers.
Prototyping the game we looked at our competitors, but did not intend to create a large game loaded with daily contests, which of course would affect the retention rate not in the best direction. But the development of the game and its changes in the future was planned in advance.
The game has just been published and undergoes testing by the advertising channels, CPI and LTV.
