This paper studies the design and development process of a mobile HTML5 game portal with focus on real- time competitive multiplayer games and a gamified environment to incentive competitiveness between players even outside the games. This project involved several complex elements, among which are the need for the portal to be compatible with most major mobile and desktop browsers and game optimizations which were required so that the games could be played with a good performance on mobile devices. Another important element is an accessible match-making service which enables developers to easily integrate their multiplayer games with the portal, relieving them from the need to create logic relative to the creation and management of matches, as well as victory and defeat logic. In order to conduct the case study, a total of four games with varying genres were developed and integrated with the match-making services, while several metrics regarding user behavior were collected. The analysis of these metrics allowed for a better understanding of how players engage with the portal and how to improve it. |
