Tactical Battle Simulator - Multiplayer Strategy Game

About the Project

I contributed to this highly successful mobile game that achieved over 5 million downloads on Google Play. My role focused on implementing the complex multiplayer networking system using Photon, managing real-time synchronization for battles with up to 100v100 units where any individual unit could be controlled by players. I integrated PlayFab as the backend system, implemented multiple advertising providers, and prepared the iOS release. The technical challenge involved ensuring accurate position synchronization across all units while managing network latency and Photon's message limits - crucial for maintaining fair and engaging gameplay in such large-scale battles.
