Project Summary

Tintash was hired by a nonprofit (Sesame Workshop) to port two existing Cocos2d-x apps to Unity to improve maintainability. The vendor reproduced all functionality and converted animations, and delivered app versions that run on Amazon Fire TV with a new remote input method. The project was completed on time and within budget, and the client was impressed with the team's responsiveness and rapid iteration.

Key Challenges

Increase the longevity of existing digital products.
Facilitate easier maintenance of the apps.

Project Deliverables

Reproduced all existing app functionality in the Unity framework.
Converted all animations to a format usable in Unity.
Created versions of the apps that worked on Amazon Fire TV with a new input method.

Project Solution

Tintash was engaged via referral and chosen for high ratings, pricing fit, culture fit, and value. A small team (2-5) ported two apps from Cocos2d-x to Unity, reproducing existing functionality, converting animations to Unity-compatible formats, and producing builds that run on Amazon Fire TV with a redesigned input method for remote control.

Project Outcome

Tintash delivered on time and on budget.
The team was flexible and worked through out-of-scope details, enabling rapid iteration cycles (client provided feedback end of day and saw results the next day).
