A tower defense game developed by Belka for social networks – a really cool game with a great story, artwork, and animations. The original game was built in Adobe Flash.
I was one of three programmers responsible for porting the game to iOS and Android, using C++ and a custom engine. I worked on the tower defense core of the game, the popup system, the tutorial system, a localization-merging utility, and various smaller features. Everything else – which was a huge amount of work – was done by other talented members of the team.
Some of the graphics and animations were taken from the original Flash version, while others were recreated from scratch. For example, most of the user interface was redrawn.
Cutscenes were implemented as video clips loaded from the server when needed, featuring animations of localized character dialogues. The old-film visual effect was implemented entirely in code.
