Overview
Program-Ace built Miivies Oy a cross-platform cricket management simulator covering team, finance, training, and stadium management, with tactical matches and a server-side MMO ecosystem, engineered to run well on low-tier smartphones across cricket-fan regions.
The challenge
The client wanted a cricket management game with marketing appeal across cricket-following regions, available on both platforms, holding high graphics quality while still running stably on the low-tier phones common in those markets.
The solution
Program-Ace built a deep management sim on a server-side MMO backbone.
Team composition, finance, training, and stadium management.
Player health, transfers, and tactical cricket gameplay.
A graduated league system and multiplayer.
Social network integration.
A server-side MMO ecosystem with publisher-adjustable monetization.
Technology and approach
How we built it
Built in Unity with a PHP backend that runs the MMO calculations server-side, plus Facebook SDK for social features and 3ds Max, Maya, and Photoshop for the art, the game keeps high graphics quality while staying playable on low-tier phones, since the heavy simulation lives on the server, not the device.
