TOTAL IMMERSION GAME COMBINING ONLINE AND MOBILE EXPERIENCE

Abstract

In this thesis, I discussed the whole process of designing a role-playing game on an extent instant messenger named GAMMA. The ultimate aim of this project is to design and implement a gaming application via which to grow the existing customers. Our design is to develop a virtual city on GAMMA, and this virtual city contains all the basic features of the popular web virtual communities. In this application, players will be regarded as the members in a virtual city. They can do all the things they are able to do in the real society, like work, playing games, doing sports and leisure as well as interact with other players, also they can invest their virtual money into our site market. Avatar is also included to the extent that players can see their virtual appearance on the screen. In each of the portions, we are using the TUS format for the display of pages, by which decreases the data flow significantly. Also, we have proposed some other types of technology such as quiz structure and profile logging to make our implementation simpler. So far, some parts of our implementation are launched, and we are expecting to launch our whole application in the near future. Of course, we will make some modifications of our design and implementation according to our customers' feedback. Furthermore, a web portion that contains more content will be our future work.
