Interview
Who is the target audience of the project?
The game is aimed at children over 10 years old, as it does not contain restrictive content. The product has an additional appeal for users who have played old generation arcade games.
What is the project's business model?
F2P.
What methods of monetization are provided?
The key monetization mechanisms are: buying in-game currency (coins), buying loot, renting a premium account, in-app advertising. Also thought out are the mechanics that stimulate the attraction of new solvent users (referral program, bonuses, etc.)
What was the most difficult part of the project?
To think over a competent server architecture that can withstand heavy loads. To do this, we use a highly optimized version of Unet, refined and capable of holding up to 1000 users on a single server. In general, the development of mobile games and applications in the .io genre is quite demanding on the experience and skill of a server developer.
