Welcome to Abstractica, the game developer's essential toolkit. Designed for indie developers and publishers, Abstractica streamlines the intricate world of game mechanics into an intuitive API. Whether you're in the prototyping phase, refining your game's rules, or searching for the perfect asset solution, Abstractica is here to simplify and redefine your game development journey.
FEATURES
True Randomness
Dice rolls to custom card decks, every call for a random result in Abstractica is obtained from sources
across the internet that use environmental noise to generate values. No pseudo-random seeds, no chance for
streakiness. Metadata is stored for every transaction that ensures validity and transparency.
Game Mechanics API
Abstractica's GraphQL and REST APIs are designed for indie developers and board game designers.
From die rolls and true random number generation to crunchy turn-based wargame mechanics and in-game
resource economies, we've got you covered. Each result is stored and signed for verification purposes.
Mechanics Studio
Offering a visual approach to game mechanics, developers and designers can easily assemble, tweak, and
experiment with different game elements without diving deep into complex coding. This hands-on method
not only accelerates the prototyping phase but also offers a real-time visualization of how various
mechanics interact and influence gameplay.
Analytics Dashboard
Abstractica's platform captures, analyzes, and visualizes key player interactions, ensuring that you're
always informed about how your game is experienced. From monitoring resource management strategies to
evaluating the current metagame, our dashboard translates intricate data into actionable insights.
Asset Hosting
From detailed art files to game-related digital assets, our edge platform ensures secure storage, retrieval,
and seamless integration. With built-in version control, developers can track changes, revert to previous
versions, or A/B test variants.. Make your art assets part of your API to perform updates
and release patches with ease.
Discussion & Support Forums
Community is baked into the DNA of Abstractica, with each project automatically getting a support forum both for
you, and your customers to use. A custom branded discussion forum can also be added to any Abstractica plan. Also
planned are a Discord server, live workshops and Abstractica game jams.
Game Design, Demystified
Abstractica breaks down the barriers often encountered by both novice and seasoned developers. Gone are the days of sifting through cumbersome code or getting lost in abstract game theories. With our platform, complex mechanics become tangible, actionable modules; analytics turn into clear insights, and game dynamics evolve right before your eyes. Whether you're refining a classic board game or conceptualizing a digital masterpiece, Abstractica ensures that the essence of game design is accessible, understandable, and undeniably engaging.
Mechanics Library
The Abstractica API comes with a library of basic game mechanics and structures taken from the decades of physical and
digital games. Take a mechanic off the shelf, customize it to your needs, or use the design studio to build complex processes from
scratch using just the basics. Our flexible platform supports you at your experience level.
Dynamic Playtesting Environment
Abstractica offers an immersive sandbox environment where developers can instantly see the outcome
of their game mechanics in a simulated play scenario. This immediate feedback loop allows for rapid
iteration and refinement, negating the need for constant manual testing and reducing the time from concept to completion.
Game Design Community
Abstractica boasts a rich library of tutorials, best-practice guides, and community forums.
Whether developers face challenges with a specific mechanic or are looking for inspiration,
they can easily tap into this wealth of knowledge. ensuring developers are always at the forefront of game design techniques.
