Axe in hand and honor at stake, wage brutal war against friend and foe!
Hexagonium is a cross-platform MMO game that combines the most exciting elements of turn-based and real-time strategies targets a mid-core audience that has a particular affinity for medieval/fantasy aesthetics. The basic breakdown of how the game functions are as follows:
- - A player chooses the world to play in.
- - The world is represented as a map populated by other real players. The map is divided into tiles. Each tile contains a strategic resource.
- - The player's goal is to gain control over tiles with his armies, collect resources from them, and then build structures and units to compete against other players.
We chose to wrap the game mechanics in a medieval/fantasy aesthetic and theme thanks to its popularity for a wide demographic of users.
The game has been released and optimized for iOS and Android as a free-to-play game. The application proves Game-Ace capacities for developing sophisticated online gaming solutions from scratch supported by appropriately-designed servers and software architecture.

Server-Side
Programming
Programming
Naturally, in MMO strategies players can battle their friends, foes, or even random strangers. For that reason, it is necessary to write a server-side program that will coordinate connecting a player with his/her battle partner and keep the information about the battles and players' progress.
For Hexagonium, the Game-Ace team precisely structured the servers to perform seamlessly in real-time under heavy traffic.

Technologies
Developed full-cycle and completely in-house, our game designers engineered Hexagonium to incorporate aspects of popular genres - RTS, 4X,
and MOBAs - but recast them novelly. In order to support the heavy traffic accompanying a mobile-based MMO and to avoid lag, our development team
structured the servers to flexibly coordinate between users. To minimize loading screens and maximize gameflow, our artists pursued best practices
by balancing carefully-crafted models with engrossing design.
