Client: Battle Company

Business challenge
The client needed a new breath for his growing hardware development business. The task was to empower laser tag gaming with a sophisticated solution for a better live-action entertainment experience by blending the best of video games with live-action sports.
Melior Games understood the challenge and has been accomplishing it in the best possible way. The team closely collaborated with the client defining the specifications, building the system, analyzing users’ feedback, and providing solutions that meet users’ needs.
Solution
Melior Games offered and developed a complex of software solutions that can help to start and manage games at a real-life playground. The team also created a database of players building a community of people striving to have new exciting live gaming.
Being at each stage of the project life-cycle, Melior Games developed complete UI and UX design (back-end and front-end) making sure it works stable and handles a constantly growing amount of users.
Apart from software solutions, Melior Games provided the development of firmware for equipment making sure all works in coherence and the most optimized ways.
Daily calls with the client and meetings with the team ensure us being on the same page, get a comprehensive understanding of the client’s ideas, and are efficient in the realization of their ideas to life.
As long as the project grows, the team size gets bigger too.
Starting with just an artist, project manager, and one developer at the prototype stage, now the team includes a project manager, four developers, two QA engineers, and a UI/UX designer.
Result
The main standalone managing application allows operators full control over the action on the battlefield, that is create game modes, manage players, give real-time scoring, as well as manage laser tag equipment over Wi-Fi, and many more.
Mobile application is designed for operators to be used as a remote control making it easy to manage equipment, players, and games physically being at the playground with just a tablet.
The importance of keeping users engaged in the gaming process allowing them to track individual and team stats, level up and see rankings, and get rewards and special bonuses can’t be underestimated and this is just a part of another mobile application that was specifically designed for players.
We do everything to keep up with all that Battle Company wants so they keep coming back for more.
