I’m setting up a brand-new role-playing game for mobile and need a skilled game developer who can guide the project from concept through a playable prototype. Scope • Design the core gameplay loop, character progression system, and quest structure typical of an engaging RPG. • Produce art and UI placeholders (simple but clear) so we can test user flow on both iOS and Android. • Build the first vertical slice—one explorable area, basic combat, inventory, and save/load functionality—using a popular mobile-friendly engine such as Unity or Unreal. • Integrate touch controls and optimise performance for mid-range devices. What I’ll provide • High-level story outline, key character bios, and mood-board references. • Access to a private Git repository and Trello board for collaborative tracking. What I expect to receive • Source project in the chosen engine, fully commented. • APK/IPA test build, plus a short video walkthrough demonstrating all implemented features. • Brief technical document explaining architecture choices and how to extend the game beyond the prototype phase. If you have shipped or prototyped mobile RPGs before, especially with Unity Addressables, Firebase, or PlayFab back-end hooks, I’d love to see examples. Let’s create a foundation we can iterate on and grow into a full release.

The important part of an RPG prototype is proving the gameplay loop early, not building a large amount of content before the mechanics are validated. I’d focus the first slice on character progression, one area, combat, inventory, and save/load using Unity with mobile performance in mind. The architecture should leave room for future systems like live services or content expansion without overbuilding the prototype. For the first milestone, do you already have a preferred art style, or should the placeholders define the initial direction?

For an RPG prototype, the main challenge is controlling scope while building systems that can grow beyond the first playable slice. I’d start with Unity and structure the gameplay around modular systems for combat, inventory, quests, and saving rather than hardcoding the first area. The first milestone should prove the core loop: movement, combat, progression, and persistence on real mobile devices. That gives a reliable base before adding more content or backend features. Do you already have a preferred combat style for the prototype, such as turn-based, real-time action, or something else?

Hi! This is an excellent brief. The clear scope for the vertical slice—one explorable area, basic combat, inventory, and save/load—provides a perfect roadmap for a successful prototype. A quick question to help refine the approach: for the backend hooks (Firebase/PlayFab), is the immediate goal a simple cloud save system, or are you already envisioning early integration for user accounts and analytics? This helps us focus the initial setup. We would build this in Unity, leveraging its strong cross-platform capabilities for both iOS and Android. Our approach is to create a clean, component-based architecture that is easy to extend, just as you described. In a recent project, we developed a playable prototype for a mobile strategy game, focusing on designing core mechanics and a scalable foundation, so we're very familiar with this process. The technical documentation you requested is a great idea, and we'll ensure it clearly outlines the architecture and provides a guide for future expansion. We're ready to get started.
