game development team to build a digital TCG

Job ID: 37267782

Budget: $20,000 – $50,000 USD

Project Description:

We are seeking proposals from qualified Unity game development studios or teams for the phased development of a digital version of our TCG for mobile (iOS, Android) and desktop (PC, Mac) platforms. Our objective is to create a polished, playable MVP initially for testing through TestFlight or a similar platform, followed by further development in distinct phases.

Key Requirements:

- Implementation of gameplay rules, phases, and win conditions
- Card battling logic and attack/health tracking
- Deck building with card collections and inventory
- Animated 2D character and card artwork (assets provided)
- In-app purchases for card packs/decks
- Social features like profiles, friends, chat
- Backend infrastructure for data, accounts, purchases

The project will be executed in a phased manner, beginning with the MVP development. While we aim for a consistent engagement with the selected development team across all phases, it is crucial to ensure flexibility and access to all project-related materials to transition to another company if necessary.

Scope of Work (Phase 1: MVP Development):
- Finalization of the Game Design Document (GDD).
- Core gameplay mechanics development.
- MVP UI design and implementation.
- Multiplayer and simple AI development.
- Preparing the game for testing on TestFlight or a similar platform.

Proposal Requirements:

- Demonstrated experience in game development, particularly with Unity Engine.
- Willingness to work in a phased development approach.
- Proposed plan for ensuring client access to all project files, code repositories, and assets.
- Proposal for ongoing maintenance and support.

Evaluation Criteria:
- Qualifications and experience of the proposing team.
- Proposed timeline and approach for MVP development.
- Understanding and adherence to the phased development approach.
- Plan for ensuring flexibility and client access to all necessary materials

Budget Considerations:
We are looking for a development partner who can provide a cost-effective solution while maintaining a high standard of quality. We value transparency and open communication regarding project costs and are open to discussing a budget that is mutually beneficial.
