Challenges
At the heart of our challenge lay the quest to design a multifaceted platform that resonates with gamers.
Gaming experience
As the main target group is gamers it was crucial to design a product that would be familiar to all types of gamers.
AR features
AR is an integral part of the user experience so it was necessary to find the right and easily customizable solution for augmented reality available directly in the app.
eCommerce platform
Building an ecommerce platform that will be both lightweight and offer all necessary features for the users.
Gamification
Creating a layer of engagement that will bring user retention to the app.
Solution
We transformed challenges into opportunities, creating a virtual playground.
RPG elements familiar to every gamer
Each user can customize their experience by creating a virtual avatar, finishing dedicated quests, and gathering rewards. All are available in the app.
Implementing the WebAR
We used 8th Wall WebAR as a core solution for augmented reality available in mobile applications. The whole system is managed directly from a dedicated administration panel which allows asset management.
Integrating Medusa for ecommerce
Medusa as a core framework has been integrated with the platform and customized to make the ecommerce platform available for both web and mobile.
Rewards system
We’ve created a dedicated system that allows easy adding, editing, and removing tasks for the users and digital rewards for finishing those.
Unique Retro UI
Crafting Nostalgia in Pixels: We engineered a retro-themed user interface, blending classic gaming aesthetics with modern design to capture the essence of gaming culture.
Custom and native patterns combined
