My first android game. MongoDB/Tornado backend

After graduation, my friend and I decided to build mobile games instead of finding jobs. Today we released our first game called Monster Rivals. It is a fighting game with simple RPG elements such as stats and items with unique powers. We have a lot more planned for it in the future, but wanted to get the game out as soon as possible. The game also allows you to fight your friends through Facebook. The game data including the user/character profile is all on my servers hosted on linode. We have 3 servers- [primary mongo], [secondary mongo], [mongo arbiter, redis(for leaderboards), nginx…

    My first game – CryptoEmpire.io :)2018 · ▲13

    I know everyone is a bit burned out on blockchain and cryptocurrency related stuff around these parts, but I've been working on as a side project for the last few months and thought you guys might be interested: https://cryptoempire.io/ It's still a bit buggy and incomplete (the mobile ux needs a lot of work, the leaderboard isn't functional yet, etc.), but I've reached a point where I'm not totally ashamed of sharing it :) Any feedback would be most welcome!

    Launching our first iOS game, BAMF2013 · ▲9

    I am from Double Stallion Games, and yesterday was the global launch of our first iOS game, Big Action Mega Fight!, or BAMF! for short. It's now sitting at #70 overall for iPad games on the US App Store and we're pretty stoked about it. Meanwhile, an Android version is in the works and coming soon. Most notably, we developed the game thanks to the support of an incubator/accelerator called Execution Labs, which was founded in Montréal and accepted its first cohort this past January (2013).

    Atlas Fury, Space Shooter. My First Public Godot Game2024 · ▲6

It's a time waster, but eh what arcade game wasn't a time waster? This is the first time I've created a game with Godot. On mobile no less which has it's fair share of issues. For example, iOS runs slower than Android. I'm not complaining, I profiled and targeted some older devices approx. 4-7 years ago, so far so good.
