MVP Roadmap: 2D Mobile Game (iOS+Android, Canada/NZ, Managed Services)

[mcbastard193-oss]

Overview

Create an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for a 2D stylized mobile game focused on quick, skill-based PvP matches, built for iOS and Android using Unity. The primary market for soft launch is Canada + New Zealand, with a budget of $100k–$300k. Core monetization is via virtual goods (no cash-out), compliant with app store rules. Use managed backends (PlayFab + Photon) for reduced infra overhead and rapid iteration.

Milestones

1. Sprint 0 — Planning (1 week):

   • Finalize game design doc and wireframes
   • Choose official Unity setup, PlayFab, and Photon
   • Repo setup, CI/CD pipelines, task boards

2. Sprint 1 (Weeks 1–2): Prototype core gameplay (local only)

   • Implement one playable mode and map, with stylized 2D assets
   • Basic HUD: play button, end screen

3. Sprint 2 (Weeks 3–4): Backend sync & matchmaking

   • Integrate PlayFab auth, email/social login
   • Photon (or PlayFab) server-authoritative networking
   • Quickmatch matchmaking, lobbies, server result checks

4. Sprint 3 (Weeks 5–6): Economy, shop, and IAP integration

   • Mobile wallet for virtual currency + shop UI
   • Connect Apple/Google IAP (sandbox/test)
   • Receipt validation, item delivery

5. Sprint 4 (Weeks 7–8): Tourneys, leaderboards, analytics

   • Tournaments (virtual payout only), leaderboards via PlayFab
   • Analytics event tracking (Amplitude or Firebase), Sentry for crashes
   • Admin panel for content/prices/KPI review

6. Sprint 5 (Weeks 9–10): Polish, social, anti-cheat

   • Refine UX, onboarding, friend invites
   • Server-side anti-cheat logic, perf optimization
   • Soft-launch build pipeline

7. Sprint 6 (Weeks 11–12): Live soft launch, iterate

   • Deploy backend for CA/NZ; open app stores for test audiences
   • Track retention, ARPU, crash rate; live hotfixes
   • Address store feedback, tune monetization

Tech Stack

• Client: Unity 2D (C#), stylized art pipeline
• Backend/Realtime: PlayFab (user, economy, tournaments), Photon (matches)
• Platforms: iOS, Android
• Payments: Apple App Store / Google Play Billing
• Analytics: Firebase (default), Amplitude (if budget allows)
• LiveOps: Sentry for crashes; PlayFab/Photon dashboards
• Ads: AdMob/Unity Ads (rewarded only)
• Infra: All managed/SaaS for speed

Acceptance Criteria

• End-to-end PvP game loop functional
• Virtual goods shop/lifecycle complete, IAP receipts verified
• Tournament and leaderboards functional via PlayFab
• Crash rate <1% for test cohort, analytics correct
• Meets Apple/Google guidelines, passes store review

KPIs for Soft Launch

• D1/D7 retention, ARPU, conversion %, crash rate, session time

Next Steps

• Assign team: Unity dev, backend integrator, part-time QA, contract artist
• Build wireframes/visual direction for 2D stylized design
• Setup repo, boards, CI/CD
• Begin Sprint 1
