Challenge
YieldYeti client came to us with the need for a robust and engaging game that would handle multiple players, point scoring, trading, and seamless interaction—all while ensuring top performance and scalability. This required a custom-built game engine, complete database development, and an efficient backend system to manage real-time interactions.
Given the scale and complexity of the project, there was a significant need for flexibility, responsiveness, and high-quality execution.

Solution
We leveraged our expertise in Unity and Photon Engine to build the game infrastructure from scratch. This included developing a custom game developmeny, a comprehensive backend system for player interactions, and an intricate database to manage game data efficiently. Our work included:
Game Engine Development: Creating a powerful, custom-built engine to manage game mechanics and ensure smooth performance.
Backend & Database Systems: Setting up secure and efficient systems to handle multiple players, scoring, trading, and real-time interactions.
Unity & Photon Engine Integration: Using Photon Engine to manage server access, enabling seamless multiplayer functionality.
In a sandbox project like Metaverse, it is key to create the environment and character(s) that are deeply immersive, match the theme, and drive toward the narrative. During the world-building of Yetiverse, we had to keep the following factors in mind:
It needed to be low-poly to run on both high and low-end mobile devices
The art style had to be toon-ish and 3D
Character model for yeti - friendly yet maintaining its features from the lore
Clothing design for different tiers of yetis
Create unique buildings that could serve different purposes
Concept Art
With these directions in mind, we started brainstorming for ideas and set out to explore for references that matched our vision. The art team had a lot of fun doing this; old Christmas movies and lores of yetis and bigfoot were revisited, and mountainous regions of Iceland and Norway were studied for the environment design along with snowcapped English cottages for buildings.
