Challenge
Buff Games asked us to create a loyalty program app for gamers. Being super easy in use, the app had to reward gamers just for playing.
So, our main task was to develop a complex loyalty program, more like universal support system for all types of games. What’s more, we had to make it secure enough to provide user verification and avoid cheating.
Solution
We developed a virtual gaming economy platform - BUFF. This loyalty program app enables gamers to earn coins in the background as they continue to play without interruption
From a technical perspective, we managed to build not just one React app but a system of applications. BUFF became a bundle of separate React applications working in synergy and communicating via the EventBus pattern. Later, we’ve also developed its mobile cross-platform application, exposing BUFF to even more users.
