Let's create a Wild Politics team together

Optimization. Planned for the very near future. Many things in the game were done back when I was just starting to learn the framework Django and web development in general. Now I have more experience, and I return to many things to rework them more thoughtfully.

Education. According to many people, it ends too abruptly, does not give an understanding of what you can do in the game, and simply does not drag on. I plan to rework it so that during the learning process the player can immediately touch the functionality of managing a country, even if it is a “stub” country. (no real politics!), and at the end, having gone through all aspects of the game, show the final “window of opportunity”, which summarizes everything that can already be done in the game.

Availability in Play Market. Most likely, the game is not visible in the search, primarily due to the fact that it is at the pre-registration stage. Also, ASO optimization of the game page was previously weak (literally few “keywords” in the description text). I believe the situation will change with the release of the game to public access. But it has already collected more than 200 applications for preliminary downloading.

Before publishing the game to the “billions of Google Play users”, I plan to complete the translation of the game into English, as well as add interface help to make the game easier to navigate. Also, the game’s Wiki site, in Russian and English, requires attention. Either the players will help fill it out – or I will have to do everything myself.

By the way, about team development. At the moment, the game interface is designed by my friend. He did much better than I can do myself, but now he has much less free time than before – so any innovations in the game are delayed. Therefore, I I will be glad to help with the frontend of the game. It is quite primitive now – html, js, css – but in the future we will need to move to something more serious, but we still need to do it. They greet you based on their clothes, after all.

There are also plenty of tasks on the backend. And if at the initial stages even an enthusiastic schoolboy helped me quite effectively, now I am faced with tasks when I'd like to not to train someone from scratch, but work on a project together with a person whose knowledge is at least as good as mine.

And a few words about applications. The Android application at this stage is only a webview with minor improvements – a kind of “cropped browser” showing only my game website. In the future I would like to turn the application into a full-fledged client, but at this stage of the game’s development, I consider even this to be a good level. At least because iOS things are pretty much the same. I have neither experience in developing for this system, nor simply Apple devices (no, this is not a call for me to chip in for an iPhone, haha). And, I’m afraid, the same trick with a “cropped browser” as in Google Play will not work in the App Store. In general, I would also like to find ideological comrades in this area.

To sum it up: thank you again for your attention to Wild Politics. Many things have been done, and much more needs to be done. But at the pace that I do them myself, it can take a while. Therefore, I decided to take the opportunity to find people willing to join the development of the game.
