The Challenges

Real location-based moving Avatar

While framing everything around real locations and real users, keeping static Avatar was a little easy programming, but the client wanted an Avatar- a continuously moving character. This kind of feature was never there in any game before. So it was a big challenge for the developers.

Good amount of research went in. Developers utilized Unity 3D’s default assets and lots of Animation effects to craft AR-based characters and finally came up with the animated Avatars making the game engaging. The team further utilized Google Map for longitude and latitude to craft moves of each Avatar in order to show Avatar is really walking down the places.

The Challenges

Transforming Angular Fight to Face to Face Fight

A user moving ahead in the certain direction and targeting in the opposite direction causes the trouble of making a hit move. The angular fight is not feasible in the game. To convert the angular fight into face to face fight was a big hurdle in development.

Brainvire’s excellent team of developers used the Raycast Management concept to solve the issue. The combination of Raycast and Unity 3D could orchestrate the angular fight moves to face to face fight and smoothen the flow of the game.

Slow Speeding and Server Crashing

The game is AR-based, real location based and multiuser game. A load of many users playing same time in one room can cause lower speeding. Also, multiple user groups (rooms) playing at same time can affect the speed and leads towards the crash of the server and game both.

Brainvire’s excellent developers found the apt solution in terms of Photon SDK. Developers used Photon SDK features to enhance the performance of the multiple user gaming and the separate server was allocated to handle to a load of multiple users ensuring the crash and low speed of gaming doesn’t happen.

Visibility and Communication with Other Users

As the new user enters in the location or the current user enters in another radius, the opponents playing in the same location should be visible and at the same time, notification of each target killed and new users joined should be sent to all the users same time.

Brainvire developers used real-time tracking mechanism and photon SDK to track each user, and targeted and developed an apt notification module for seamless notifications to multiple users. Geofencing technology is incorporated in the module and developers crafted fullfledged ‘invite’ feature.
