2 Birds 1 Stone

Josh came to us with a well defined set of screen that outlined his vision for this IOS Game. His superb graphic design skills allowed him to create all the graphic elements for the game and he found the programing help needed to realize his vision with SoftwareCriollo.

The game is simple. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. See how far you can get and challenge your friends.

Development

This project tooks us a couple of months to release. We integrated it with Apple's Game Center in order to challenge friends and post the players' highest score into GC's leader board. Moreover, we use the Motion-Social gem - that we previously developed - in order to easily share the highest score on Facebook and Twitter.

Our Process

Meetings

We have weekly calls where we discuss progress. We use Skype, Google Hangouts or GotoMeeting.

We agreed on a day and time that worked for everyone.

Planning

In the beginning we send a timeline specifying the planning and tasks for that week.

These tasks are the same cards we have planned in Trello.

Trello

We translate all requirements into stories in Trello Cards.

Trello is the place to add any specification, ask questions or comments to the team.

Deliveries

Once the tasks are done they go through a testing process and we pass them for your approval.

Every week we will pass cards onto the client list for you to give us feedback.

Quality Assurance

Once the functionality is completed one of our functional testers will try to break the feature.

We either move it to Needs Improvement or pass it to you for feedback.

Feedback

We need the support from you to review the cards and Approve them or tell us how to improve it.

This is key to meet goals and being on time in the development of the application.
