From a bold vision of creating a "Pokémon GO killer" to developing two successful games with a thriving user base, SpaceCatch demonstrates how innovative ideas transform into market-ready products.

THE CHALLENGE
Two ambitious entrepreneurs approached us with a vision that caught our attention: creating a revolutionary augmented reality game to fill a significant market gap. They weren't just dreaming small – they wanted to challenge the dominance of Pokémon GO.

OUR APPROACH

The scope of this project demanded careful planning and execution. We began with a comprehensive pre-production phase, where our art team crafted initial sketches and explored potential game mechanics. Through extensive market research and target group analysis, we developed detailed game design documents and visual style concepts. This groundwork allowed us to create a clear roadmap for bringing the game to life.

To deliver on this ambitious vision, we assembled a dedicated team structure. At the helm was our game director, working closely with our story writer to craft the game's narrative. Our design team collaborated with 2D and 3D artists to bring the visual elements to life, while our Unity and backend developers handled the technical implementation. This comprehensive team approach ensured every aspect of the game received the attention it deserved.

THE JOURNEY

What started as a single project evolved into two distinct and successful games. For SpaceCatch AR, we conducted multiple rounds of alpha testing, constantly refining the core game mechanics based on user feedback. Currently, we're beta testing in Asian markets, gathering valuable insights before our planned US and European launch.

During this development, something unexpected happened. We created SpaceCatch Classic, initially conceived as a simple Telegram game in pixel art style. The community's response was overwhelming – they loved it and kept asking for more. What began as a small side project grew into a fully-fledged game with its own dedicated player base.

CURRENT STATUS

Our journey has led to remarkable achievements. SpaceCatch Classic has successfully launched and maintains an active community of tens of thousands of players. Meanwhile, SpaceCatch AR is progressing through beta testing in Asian markets, where we're fine-tuning the experience based on real user feedback. The enthusiasm from our growing community has validated our approach and drives us to keep improving both games.

WHAT'S NEXT
The future looks exciting for both SpaceCatch titles. We're heavily invested in expanding SpaceCatch Classic with new features to keep our passionate community engaged. For SpaceCatch AR, we're conducting intensive user testing to ensure a polished experience. The coming year will see us gradually opening up to new markets, backed by strategic marketing initiatives to support our expansion.
