Fortnite Creative Collaboration

For the last three years we are honored and proud of having collaborated with the Epic Games Fortnite Creative team, helping them with features, devices and content.

Together our Designers, Engineers and Artists worked hard to produce new experiences for the content creators and players who love the game just as much as we do.

At Nimble Giant we look forward to continuing building an even stronger and solid partnership with Epic Games in the future.

Drone Strike Force

The Challenge

Odisi games aproched us with a bold idea: to make a multiplayer shooter MMO in the vein of World of Tanks but featuring fast moving Combat Drones. Speed, Scale and controls meant great challenges in tems of netcode and design.

The Solution

Our team quickly fell in love with the idea. We started designing all the art for the game and took over the development of the project after early prototyping in UE4’s Blueprints. We helped the client establish a cohesive vision for the project, we re-architected the game in more efficient C++ code, We iterated to improve the core mechanics to deliver on the gameplay pillars we set and we wrote a solid netcode to support such fast paced gameplay.

Results

The game was released on Steam Early Acess in August 2019 with very possitive reviews.

Endless Legend DLCs

The Challenge

Amplitude Studios offered us the opportunity to continue expand both of their seminal 4X games: Endless Legend and Endless Space 2. Being huge fans of Amplitude’s work we took this challenge with a great deal of passion and respect for the source material.

The Solution

We put our Mater of Orion Pedigree in motion and studied the Endless Lore, mechanics and code base (developed in Unity3D). We expanded both games adding new playable races, quest lines and mechanics. Following Amplitude’s tradition, we employed an open development approach, always in contact with the player-base, incorporating their feedback and trying to innovate in the genre.

Results

We delivered Endless Legend: Inferno, Endless Legend: Symbiosis to great reviews. ES2: Awakening is set to be released in September 2019.

Core Shooter Platform

The Challenge

Right after the release of the phenomenal PUBG, we were approached by a Publisher that wanted to make a Battle Royale style game featuring a major Hollywood license. We knew that UE4’s baseline Net Code was far from able to deliver 100 networked players. Just the engineering effort was a monumental task.

The Solution

We built a framework code named Core Shooter Platform (CSP) on top of UE4 to implement a Lag compensated authoritative hit registration. This would allow us to provide a smooth and reliable experience in all latency conditions for 100+ players in a single server instance.

CSP’s toolset also includes:

• Simulator-grade Weapon and Ballistics mechanics
• Inventory support for Items, Equipments and Attachments
• Latency-Free Server-Authoritative Vehicles
• Highly scalable backend (AWS)

Results

Even when the project was cancelled, our team decided to continue the development of CSP. CSP is now a big part of our competitive advantage. its solid netcode and weapon and ballistic systems and back-end technology are at the core of Quantum League’s flawless online experience
