PlayShop is an American startup that is being bootstrapped. Their primary goal is to provide fun experiences to Android & iOS users, while offering great monetary value for the time they spend enjoying the game. PlayShop will partner with retail brands and offer active players discounts and cash-back.

For us playshop was an A-Z game development experience. From UI animations and shaders to gameplay code, API development, AWS infrastructure, and security mechanisms—everything was built by our team.

01. Creative Process

• We closely collaborated with the client during the creation of requirements and acceptance criteria.
• We value fast and efficient communication.
• We adjust things on the fly if needed.
• We push back and motivate where needed to ensure we comply with budget requirements while building a product that users enjoy.

02. What we made PlayShop run on

PlayShop is hosted on AWS and utilizes latest AWS security and infrastructure features to allow for scalability while being protected against attacks and cheaters. A custom API was built, documented and extended. What made this special is that our team achieved this in less than 2 months. Common quotes in the industry can reach up to 6 months and beyond.

The frontend and gameplay was built step by step. Starting out with the surfing level, we drew concept art, and assembled level blockings until we finally put everything together within Unity.
