Project Details

Meta Clash is an offline strategy game in which players must build a community, fill up the storages, train troops, and raid other players’ villages to gather more elixir and gold. This loot is then used towards building defensive structures for protection against other players’ attacks and to train and upgrade troops so as to build towards a stronger offense. This game is a pseudo single player campaign mode in which the user must attack a series of fortified goblin villages for collecting additional loot.

Challenges & Solutions

2.5D Game Mechanism:

Problem:

Developing a 2.5D game with characters, buildings, tower attacks, animations, and special effects.

Solution

Use sprite sheets for animations, organizing efficiently. Implement a sprite animation system and integrate particle systems for special effects. Regularly optimize sprite sheets for visual quality and resource efficiency.

Offline Mode:

Problem:

Maintain game stability in offline mode.

Solution

Implement robust offline synchronization, use local data storage for caching, synchronize data upon reconnection, handle conflicts gracefully, and include effective error-handling mechanisms.

Database Management:

Problem:

Player data and resource management, base building, and tactical warfare.

Solution

The implementation of an online database. This database, accessed through RESTful APIs, serves as a secure and efficient means for storing, retrieving, and updating player information.
