I worked on the engine and game code while at Synesis. Graphics, music, animations, and all other non-programming aspects were handled by other talented specialists.
I can’t go into full detail about the development process or the internal structure of the engine and game. Both the game and the engine – as well as the toolchain needed to build the game – were written in C++.
The development process itself was similar to most casual games: we chose the game concept, the artist/designer created sketches, and we approved them together. Animators and integrators then got involved, while I focused on writing the game code and, when necessary, refining the engine.
Everything was then combined into a single project, resulting in a game for iOS and Android.
