Daffodil Software worked with a Belgian marketing and communications agency to develop a mobile gaming app for Open-Face Chinese Poker that includes matchmaking, messaging, tournament features, statistics, and an in-app store. The beta app is largely complete and has been well received by early users. The vendor managed resources effectively, keeping the project within the estimated budget and timeline, and provided strong project management with two main contacts and daily technical communication.
