TARGET
Creating a modern design and increasing the level of security to engage more players.
MAIN GOALS
- Redesign taking into account trends and requests of the target audience.
- Replacing the technology stack with a new one with more reliable data protection.
- Improvement and maintenance of functionality.
SOLUTIONS
In 2020, we started finalizing and supporting the website Stalker Online, which is the player's personal account and integrates with the RPG API. It’s possible to register on it, log into an account, replenish your account and connect to the shooter.
NEW DESIGN
We analyzed the needs of the target audience, went over the Stalker locations and listened to all the wishes of the client. Based on this, a prototype was created and layouts with interactive elements were drawn. They also include detailed text information about the game, user agreement and cooperation.
Despite the gloomy tones due to the color scheme of the game world, the site perked up. Now there is a download counter, music plays in the background, and when you open the page, the video starts.
The customer was pleased with the result. And soon he gave us a similar development for the landing page for the Stay Out shooter.
NEW STACK
At the initial stage, we made minor changes to the functionality and were engaged in technical support. But soon the customer decided to change the design, and at the same time update the technology stack to a more modern one.
We used the Yii2 framework and rewrote all the code according to the PSR standards, building a concise modular structure. Despite the fact that the site acquired a new design and internal content, its functionality didn’t change much. For the convenience of buying game currency, additional payment systems were added.
THE DIFFICULTIES WE ENCOUNTERED
The first site we hosted was on Yii1. It was written quite original and specific. In order to improve it, it had to be deeply immersed in the code, which made it difficult to quickly make adjustments.
RESULTS
Two modern cross-browser sites for Stalker Online and Stay Out games. Technical support is currently underway.
