Project Summary

KnubiSoft rebuilt and relaunched an abandoned Unity app, analyzing existing code, releasing an initial version, and adapting the product based on user feedback. They delivered core gaming-library features and a custom 3D conversion engine while maintaining the app's existing user base. Communication and timeliness were occasionally impacted by a 12-hour time difference and regional instability, but the vendor's technical expertise (notably C#) and project-management process were strong.

Key Challenges

Limited budget for redevelopment
Lack of internal development expertise to maintain and enhance the app
Need to update the product to satisfy an existing community of users
Previous developer had abandoned the project, requiring a salvage approach

Project Deliverables

Gaming library core functionalities
User stories and feature development
Custom 3D conversion engine and plugins
QA, bug tracking and ongoing updates/releases

Project Solution

KnubiSoft analyzed the legacy Unity codebase and developed user stories and core functionalities for the client's gaming library. They provided one dedicated developer plus QA resources under a staff-augmentation model, implemented custom plugins and a 3D conversion engine, and released iterative updates. The engagement began in late 2016 and continues with ongoing component development and pay-by-hours billing.

Project Outcome

Product launched and remains live
Retained the app's existing user base
Vendor delivered features on the agreed timeline and addressed bugs via Trello
Ongoing updates delivered on a pay-by-hours basis; client reports approximately 80% satisfaction with communication
