Project Summary

Rootstrap developed a native iOS mobile application and bespoke game engine for an AR software company (Wolf Suit Games) to serve as a beta flagship title. They implemented the app in Swift, leveraged the Apple Maps API for geo-location features, and created a modular JSON-based content system to enable continuous content updates. The engagement included a two-week discovery, development, QA, and iterative bug fixes; project management and communication were handled primarily through Trello and Slack, and the client reported a high-quality deliverable that supported limited beta testing and future product development.

Key Challenges

Develop the beta version of a flagship mobile game that would run on the same engine as the client’s other products.

Project Deliverables

Native iOS mobile application
Bespoke game engine built on Apple Maps API
Modular content system (JSON packet input) for dynamic content
Discovery-phase deliverables and development proposal
QA and iterative bug-fix releases

Project Solution

Rootstrap conducted a two-week discovery phase and then developed a native iOS app in Swift. They built a bespoke game engine on top of the Apple Maps API with geo-location triggers and configurable conditions, and implemented a modular JSON-based content input so new content could be delivered continuously. The team of three (product manager, lead iOS developer, QA tester) managed work via Trello and Slack and provided iterative releases to address crashes and bugs.

Project Outcome

The app was used in a limited beta test to experiment and validate user-behavior hypotheses and will serve as the foundation for the client's product lineup.
Rootstrap addressed crashes and bugs through iterative releases and developer fixes.
Project management and communication were effective (Trello and Slack); the work was delivered to a high quality and was close to the original budget and timeline despite slight overruns.
