What is the Cost of UNO Game Development? 

UNO game development cost varies based on the developers and other experts who will be working on the project. Much of the final cost is based on an hourly rate for each team member.  

Cost of a UNO Game App

As is the case with most card games like UNO, the development cost is not fixed and it can vary depending on how complex and customized your UNO game app will be. 

What is UNO? 

UNO game app is a classic game card-shedding type. This quick-play card game is among the Crazy Eights group of card games. Players take turns to shed a card, and the first person to shed all their cards wins the game. A set of actionable cards will make it slightly more difficult.   

A regular deck of UNO cards consists of the following cards: 

  • 76 Number cards, 
  • 24 Action cards,  
  • 8 Wild cards 

How to Develop a UNO Game

If you are confused as to how to make a card app for Android or iOS that replicates the UNO game, here are the steps that will apply throughout the process. It starts with assessing the market and doesn’t end that is there is the constant work of maintenance and player support. 

Market & Competitor Research 

Looking at the game market and who your biggest competitors are can be a critical step in UNO game development.

By carrying out research, you can assess market success and know what your competitors do well and do poorly! Thus, it also provides an opportunity to know how to beat the competitor or, in most cases, attract players.

Designing

Every UNO app has something in common, a similar card design! This doesn’t mean you have to follow the crowd. As a UNO game development company, we know how to design and redesign UNO card games. 

The UNO card design and the backgrounds of playing boards, leaderboard screens, and chat screens will all be judged by players. Ultimately, your game’s design could be the reason why users pick or leave your game. 

Aspects of UNO game design include colors, background elements, text style, size, and font, and all come under the design of the game.   

Development

The development of a mobile game requires making the right decision. This is especially when it comes to picking out the right combination of technologies to ensure the game’s best version is developed.   

The development phase involves choosing the front-end and back-end technologies. While Unity is the most preferred front-end technology, Node.Js acts as the most popular back-end. 

The development phase applies to the developers and coders who will be writing the UNO game’s code.         

Features   

A traditional UNO deck may not have the wild game mode and many other features and functionalities that people like to play. Some exciting features would be:

  • Free Rewards
  • Quick Play
  • Invite Friends, Invite Codes
  • Real-Time Matches
  • Special events

Apart from this are the standard options of free rewards, new challenges, and the ability to connect anytime and play UNO with other players’ friends who aren’t online.

QA (Testing)

Several phases and testing types ensure that the UNO app will function as per expectations. This includes turning off cards, selecting certain menus, and changing themes/avatars. 

Testing processes also ensure the game is playable on the most significant number of devices. A bonus would be to create a cross-platform UNO game that can be enjoyed on multiple platforms and devices.   

Other testing types check the loading speed, graphics, battery usage, network connectivity, sound, and security testing.     

Beta Release (Pre-Launch) 

Sometimes, only some bugs are picked up when executing multiple testing phases. The beta release is a release of the app to a limited group of users as a means to test the game on real users and check the game’s acceptance with genuine players.    

As a result, the beta release helps pinpoint these errors before they can compromise the quality and reputation of the UNO game. 

UNO App Complete Release 

After all, changes are complete, the soft launch is the complete launch, ensuring that the UNO game is entirely available to all users depending on the location and device OS restrictions that may be in place. 

After the soft launch, maintenance and support will be ongoing processes. These two processes are vital in maintaining a significant player or user base for a UNO game.
