The power of cutting-edge technologies for next gen solutions
We build create games by leveraging the latest technologies with AI solutions directly integrating in the game development process. We allow you to use technology to your advantage and digital transformation.
The right expertise for game development
ASSIST Software was responsible for putting together the pipeline for creating the mech, as well as the mech structure, Animator and AI module. This was in addition to realizing the 2D and 3D art, as well as the environment/ world building.
As a standout technical aspect, we used Unity prefabs. Prefabs are a special type of component that allows you to create, configure, and store a GameObject. The Prefab Asset acts as a Template from which you can create new Prefab Instance in the Scene.
These assets can then be shared between scenes, or even other projects without having to be configured again.
Why is this game so innovative?
Traditional MMO games struggle with bots and the hassle they create for development teams. However, Typhon embraces bots as a core game mechanic. Instead of destabilizing gameplay, bots become strategic tools that can enhance immersion and provide an excellent challenge. Typhon wants players to code, customize, and command their own bot army in a unique PvP experience where programming prowess and problem solving determine victory.
Thus, Typhon: Bot vs Bot redefines the multiplayer, PVP genre, turning a common problem into an innovative gameplay and learning opportunity.

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.
