Appindia Technologies

A mobile game studio with Ludo and solitaire titles

AppIndia Technologies describes itself as a mobile game development studio that designs and publishes skill-based and casual games for players around the world. Its site features two games. ISTO King is a take on traditional Ludo with multiplayer play and vibrant graphics, and Card Match is a TriPeaks solitaire adventure with card-matching challenges. The studio says it began as a small group of enthusiasts who wanted to make games they would enjoy playing themselves.

Game development for clients

The firm's earlier profile described a studio that builds games and apps for other companies, with clients in India, Canada and elsewhere. It lists Unity3D, Cocos2d-X, PlayCanvas, Unreal and Xamarin among its tools, plus hybrid frameworks, and says it has experience with augmented reality, virtual reality and internet of things work. Its explanation of 2D and 3D is practical: 2D games are easier for beginners and reach a broad audience, while 3D lets players act with more freedom. It builds Android games for different player preferences and says it has made iOS games since 2015, including titles with augmented reality.

How a game is built

The company sets out a staged process. It starts by writing a game design document and a software requirements specification, then analyses the concept and plans the project with milestones. Next come flows and wireframes, followed by art assets, backgrounds, environments, audio and animation. Developers then build the game modules, integrate them and write the backend. In the testing stage the team runs user acceptance testing, sends bugs back to developers and integrates third-party SDKs. After testing it launches the game on the client's server and provides support and maintenance.

A team of creators

The studio says its developers, designers and strategists work together on platforms that put speed, scalability and a user-first approach first.
