iRadikal

We have been working on the news app for some time now for Radikal (www.radikal.com.tr) which is one of the biggest news corporations in Turkey and has around one million unique users per day on the web.

Our priority while developing this app is fast and enhanced user experience as well as a user-friendly interface.

On iRadikal, you can easily go through the headlines, columnists and news categories such as “Turkey", “Politics", “Sports", "Finance", “Life", "Culture and Art", "Global News", “TED", “Health" and many more.

The app also provides the reader with the latest breaking news and the easiest social media sharing options.

Why hesitate? Give it a go.

We are currently working on a new project. Hack the Hackathon Event @ BAU Galata

ÜLKER ÇİKOLATALI GOFRET - TÜRKİYE’NİN MUTLULUĞU

ABOUT THE PROJECT 

Türkiyenin Mutluluğu is a game for the major Turkish food manufacturer Ülker's favourite snack, "Ülker Çikolatalı Gofret". Let the finger battle begin!

OUR ROLE

In collaboration with Manajans/JWT, we have developed a real-time multiplayer game for Ulker, which is one of the biggest food&beverage companies in Turkey. We were responsible for doing the technical development and the execution as well as creating the game logic.

CHALLENGE 

The main challenge in this project was getting both iOS and Facebook applications to work together with the exact same game dynamics. In addition, we were expecting a high amount of usage in a short period of time; therefore, our backend had to be rock-solid, scalable, fast and secure.

SOLUTION

Our motivation was to deliver the best gaming experience for the players using both Flash and iOS clients. 

To make this possible, we have worked on the controls of both clients to make them equivalent to each other and we have build the whole game logic on the server to maintain the same gameplay on both platforms.

Further more, we have developed both applications in their native languages to gain performance and stability on both ends. The Flash platform allowed us to quickly develop the Facebook client which we later ported to the iOS platform. On the backend, we decided to use Electrotank’s Electroserver for real-time multiplayer communication and Parse as our main data storage for its fast and scalable architecture.

TEAM

Flash Development: Gürkan Tümer iOS Development: Furkan Cengiz Backend Development: Emre Bağcı Frontend Development: Meriç Kara, Coşku Demirhan Project Management: Merve Engür

HIGHLIGHTS

More than 7 million turns of the game were played on all platforms in its first month and our servers received more than 2 million requests in a day.

Triple Trouble

Don't really know how the first blog post should be but this will be about the last week for sure.

After sleepless nights we have released 3 projects in a row (and also a fully automated farm, a chicken & egg factory and an elevator in Minecraft).

Lufthansa FlyVenture (the toughest one)

We created an alternate reality game based on social media quests for Lufthansa Turkey. Every week we have various prizes (mostly iPads) for the top users of the week aand a big prize for the overall top user!

Download: App Store

  Bobiler.örg (the most entertaining one)

If you have never heard of it then you are missing big time! It is one of the biggest privileges of being a Turkish citizen. After the parallel universe application we have rebuilt their official app from the bottom to top.

Download: App Store

  Tunebow (the coolest one)

An online radio, a music blog, whatever you say. A place where you don't need to think about the next tune. Our main goal is to make you happier, then you were before. Just hit the play button and have fun.

We have created an iOS application for Tunebow with our friends -the real heros- ADDO from New York.
