This feature was something that i had partially done before for OC-TANE but for Tiki Tapa i needed to enhance the experience for the user and make it easier for them to understand what was going on, and that is where i came across Gamesparks! It was very simple to set up gamesparks to a state where you could post scores to the leaderboards and get notifications when someone beats your score etc but to get these Challenges to work in the way that i wanted them to work was a bit of a pain, as there is a lack of Documentation on their website however it is nice to know that the Support team are amazing at responding to questions and do it quickly too! With the help of the Support team i had the challenges running very quickly then it was just a matter of testing. So with a massive smile on my face i can say that the game has now got Multiplayer features, Which i will explain and take more about in the next post.
Another new feature for this update of Tiki Tapa is an idea that came about by accident, we were reading an article about some funny quotes said by football pundits/current footballers/ex footballers and we were laughing so much that we decided to created a Pundit Corner! which will let the player read these hilarious quotes and it lets them share them to their friends on Facebook or post it on Twitter. It is set up to get quotes from a live server and then update the list within the game which means we can keep editing this list to keep the quotes fresh in the game!
The final big change in the game is the addition of a second language for the game! Tiki Tapa now translates into Spanish! We had to get this done because it it quite popular in Spain plus it is Tiki Taka styled gameplay which is played mostly by Spanish teams! If the player wants to change the language they can do it via the settings options in the menu!
Thanks for reading this version is currently under review by Apple so will be on the store really soon!
