Introduction to Zelgor

Zelgor for iPhone is our latest in-house development project. The game has reached a state in which we’d like to take a few moments to walk you through some of the features you will experience playing it. 
 

Zelgor game

First of all, we should mention that Zelgor is a social game which allows you to explore and conquer your virtual neighborhood by getting involved in three types of mini-games: fight the players around you, conquer real-life street-delimited territories and seize important locations around you. If you are a first-time player, we prepared a special tutorial for you to get started.

The Game

After starting the game and logging in, you will be placed accordingly to your GPS position on a map consisting of street-delimited territories, locations and other players around you. When we say players around you, we include real players, but also bots. These bots are there in case you decide the play a few Zelgor games at 3 AM and everybody else is asleep or in case you climbed Mount Everest all by yourself and decide to take a break. Also, these bots are not placed there only to look good on the map or to keep you company. They have a mind of their own and will move across the map and actually attack you.

Multiplayer

The game’s mechanisms and logic allow the player to be part of a team: Orange Team or Green Team and regarding the weapons, he can switch between knife, pistol, grenades, sniper, shotgun and cannon.

Loking at the first image you will notice that the player belongs to the Orange Team, is using a Sniper weapon and has zero notifications. These notifications will arrive directly if you are online in the game or via Apple Push Notifications Service if you are offline. From this point on you can take part in any of the three mini games offered, you can inspect the Armory and your profile details or even defect to the opposite team.

How to Play

One of the posibilities is to select a player on the map and use the ATTACK option in order to start a player versus player battle. How this looks like is presented in the second image. Instructions are also present there, in case you need them. If you win, you will be awarded with some loot (experience points or weapon ammo). However, if you lose the fight, you will become a part of the opponent team.

As you probably already noticed in the first image, there are 3 types of territory colors: blue for those belonging to your team, red for those held by the opponent team and gray for the territories with no owner. You will be able to attack the neutral territories and the ones belonging to the adverse team. During this mini game, you have to drop from a plane and land some paratroopers on 4 marked places using the accelerometer in order to avoid the anti-aircraft fire from two gun batteries. The corresponding image for this mini-game is the image to your right

The third option you can choose is to attack a location. In this mini-game you’ll have to eliminate the enemies appearing at a building’s windows. During the attack, bonuses will be parachuted. Shoot them, and you’ll get some loot. How this minigame looks like is presented in the last image.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is ASSIST Software's development process?  

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the following stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

2. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?  

ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.

3. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?  

We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.   

  • A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)   
  • Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.    
  • Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).   
  • Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).

4. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?

We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions. 

Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.  

SAFe provides a structured approach for aligning teams, coordinating work, and delivering value at scale. It focuses on collaboration, communication, and continuous delivery for optimal custom software development services. 

5. How do I choose the best collaboration model with ASSIST Software?  

We offer flexible models. Think about your project and see which models would be right for you.   

  • Dedicated Team: Ideal for complex, long-term projects requiring high continuity and collaboration.   
  • Team Augmentation: Perfect for short-term projects or existing teams needing additional expertise.   
  • Project-Based Model: Best for well-defined projects with clear deliverables and a fixed budget.   

Contact us to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
