Slimeatory: A Top-Ranked Mobile City-Building Game
Role in this project: Unity Lead Developer.

Project Overview

Slimeatory invites players into an engaging mobile game experience where city-building meets creative slime crafting. As the Team Lead for this project, I steered the game to become a top-10 title in the family category on mobile platforms. The game stands out for its casual-friendly gameplay, allowing players to grow, mix, and manage their own collection of slimes within a dynamic city-building framework.

Key Contributions and Achievements

Leadership Excellence: Led a minimal Agile team over one year, culminating in the successful release of a top-10 family category title, showcasing effective project management and team leadership.
Innovative Architecture: Implemented a reactive architecture, enhancing the game's performance and reusability. This approach ensured a fluid and responsive gameplay experience, setting a new standard for mobile game development.
Advanced Integration: Actualized seamless Microsoft Playfab integration with Unity using Cloud Script, enabling robust player authentication across Game Center, Playfab, and Facebook. This not only facilitated a secure and reliable player data management system but also supported the implementation of a virtual online market with full transaction safety.
Marketplace Dynamics: Realized a player-controlled marketplace connected to the city-building gameplay. This feature introduced an innovative layer of interaction, allowing players to engage in secure transactions, enriching the gaming experience.
Efficient Development: The project was brought to fruition within 6 months by leveraging Agile methodologies, demonstrating exceptional efficiency and the ability to deliver high-quality gaming experiences within tight timelines.
