CharWally
About the project
A private person approached Patterns with a request to support his national culture and publish his game developments on Google Play and Apple. The game is a card game very popular in Afghanistan - CharWally.
Task
The biggest challenge in this project was the budget, as the budget of the individual was much smaller than that of the corporations we usually work with. But our company respects national and cultural diversity, so we did not refuse the request.
The provided developments were not the result of professional work of programmers and artists, but they definitely showed passion for their national culture and the desire to make a finished product.
By the time the project was transferred to Patterns, the Smartfox Server technologies used in the server part were hopelessly outdated, which added to the complexity of ensuring the stability of the game.
Results
In order not to waste time on fixing a lot of trivial errors, the development team identified the most problematic parts of the source code and replaced them with their own developments, while maintaining functionality. The game received a localization system and system error handling.
Thanks to the team's broad outlook, the server part on SmartFox Server + Java was significantly reworked, error handling in various streams was added, which significantly increased the stability of the game. The application successfully passed moderation on GooglePlay and Apple platforms the first time.
Summary
By adding changes, we tried to improve the game each time, while preserving the national flavor.
The application has become very popular in Afghanistan and currently has a rating of 5.0 in GooglePlay.
