Originally, Tofu Heroes was made in Singapore and it has already been in develop for 5 years. Prior to joining MOS, Tofu Heroes was already in the hands of the Philippine development team. I was originally hired as a Backend Developer, however, there were no documentation of the project to be found, and the team was having a hard time to bring in new features for the game.
The New Tofu Heroes
There was a clear problem with the production as a simple match-3 game shouldn’t take long. I initiated a revamp of the whole game, and transformed it to what it is today. It took the whole team of 5 to do it in less than 6 months of development time to re-do the project with better architecture, solutions, and direction.
Saving Time and Cost
At the time that I joined MOS, the company has already been shelling out 5000 USD per month for almost three years of unmanned AWS services. The first thing that I did was to investigate how these services are being used, and to see alternatives for it.
It was indeed the server cost for a full release of Tofu Heroes worldwide. Given that the release didn’t came into fruition, the original team was not able to close everything down. I decided to close everything and use GameSparks to solve half of all our production problems.
