Case Studies

Royal Quest Case Study

Royal Quest: Reimagining Mobile RPGs

When the team at Mythic Entertainment approached us to revitalize their struggling RPG, we faced significant challenges. The original game suffered from performance issues, outdated visuals, and complicated progression systems that alienated players.

Our team implemented our Royal Reels animation system to dramatically improve visual quality while actually reducing device resource consumption by 35%. We redesigned the core progression systems to be more intuitive while preserving depth for veteran players. The result was a 280% increase in daily active users and a 4x boost in revenue within three months of relaunch.

Reels Racing Case Study

Optimizing Reels Racing for Console Performance

Developing a racing game that maintained 120fps on next-generation consoles while delivering photorealistic graphics presented enormous technical hurdles. Our client needed a racing game that would showcase their new console's capabilities without compromising on gameplay.

By developing custom shaders and leveraging our proprietary Reels Engine, we created an adaptive rendering pipeline that dynamically adjusts visual fidelity based on racing conditions. This innovative approach allowed us to maintain smooth performance even during chaotic 16-player races with dynamic weather effects. The game became a console launch title and sold over 1.2 million copies in its first month.
