Objective:
Gaimin.gg, is a gaming platform that offers a unique gaming experience, allowing users to play a variety of games, watch broadcasts, and engage in the buying and selling of digital assets within the gaming ecosystem.
They had a published desktop application that served as a gaming platform, but they needed to expand their reach and provide a mobile solution for Android users. The goal was to develop a native Android app that would support most of the features available on the desktop app.
Challenge:
Throughout the project, we faced several challenges, including:
- Working with team members located in different countries required effective communication and collaboration. We addressed this challenge by establishing clear communication channels and regular meetings to ensure alignment among team members.
- Collaborating with designers to deliver an optimal user experience for Android users was crucial. We conducted thorough UX research and design reviews to enhance the app's usability and aesthetics.
- Integrating third-party solutions for NFT and crypto operations demanded careful planning and execution. We successfully integrated Venly for NFT operations and ensured secure and reliable blockchain-related functionalities using web3j.
The mobile app development project was completed in a relatively short time frame to meet the client's requirements efficiently.
