Card games are known as one of the best examples of skill-based games. It is growing rapidly, but there are some drawbacks or disadvantages that many users may not like in the coming years. What are the changes and improvements required? Let’s dive in.

What are card games?

Card games are the most popular games in India as well as globally. People always like to play card games in their leisure time, to socialize with friends, and some play for earning purposes as well. Some of India’s most common card games are Rummy, CallBreak, Mindi, Teen Patti, Andar Bahar, Spades, 29 Cards, Court Piece, Mindi, Solitaire, etc. So, what are the drawbacks that can be improved? Let’s go step by step.

  • Must be capable of handling a huge number of concurrent users.
  • Single-platform app
  • Degraded UI/UX
  • Repeated 2D designs
  • Not having exclusive avatars
  • Insecure payment gateway
  • Less user interaction options

Concurrent users handling capability

Card games are growing day by day and with that, the user base of card games is also increasing. In such a large increasing gaming arena, the card game must be capable of handling a huge user base that grows over time. The card game must be developed from an experienced vendor like Artoon Solutions Pvt. Ltd. who has proven successful capabilities of handling 10K+ concurrent users & experience in developing card games by working with bigger brands on their multiple projects like MPL, Pokerdangal, and many others who have a humongous user base.

Single-platform app

If the card game app is single-platform and different OS versions aren’t created in the future it may not get success, but before developing a multiplatform app one must study the region of the game. Developing games without knowing anything about the popularity of games won’t help either.

On the other hand, multi-gaming apps can offer various types of games like Cards, Casinos, Puzzles, Sports, Fantasy sports, Hyper Casual, Arcade games, etc. If your application is dedicatedly developed for card games then you can pick all the card games under a multi-gaming app.

Degraded UI/UX

The UI of the game app also plays a crucial role to get new users. In previous years, when graphics and software were not at their peak, gaming industries used to add average UI and many users didn’t like the game in the first place. But now things have changed. With so many improved technologies we are also witnessing UI/UX of the highest quality. So, the era of degraded UI/UX is gone and some users tend to stick with the game just because of the UI. It shows how impactful UI/UX is in a game app. Better the UI/UX, better the chances of increment of the user base too!

Repeated 2D designs

Nowadays, there are two types of games i.e 2D games and 3D games. In the current and looking at the popularity it is obvious that 3D games have the better edge. Users are experiencing the best design. So, the repeated 2D designs must be removed and implementation of new feature-rich 2D/3D designs will definitely help in the app’s success.

Let’s take an example, in 2D games the background is just an image comparing the same with 3D games the background will have different assets. For example, the background of a garden will contain flowers, trees, some statues, a water mug, etc. Comparing the same with a 2D background simply an image will be there.

Henceforth, a game owner should look at designing 2D/3D games, as most gamers prefer these new feature-rich games and it creates a real feeling for the gamers.

Not having exclusive avatars

These are the new modern ways of attracting a large number of gamers in a small time. 3D avatars make the game very interesting and almost every player wants an avatar-based game. In 3D avatar-based games everything needs to be 3D from head to toe and they all must have expressions and animation effects that will create a new aura for the gamers. The playing table, chair, background i.e environment all should be in 3D.

So, if a game owner wants to make an impact in the gaming world he must add a feature like 3D Avatar. The game owner must always look at what are the trends and according to that avatars should be created. One of the best examples of a 3D Avatar-based Card game is 400 Arba3meyeh.

Insecure payment gateway

In card games, the payment gateway must be of the highest quality. The payment options become highly important as users will continuously do transactions. If the payment gateway is not up to the mark then users might face issues that will result in a degraded user experience.

The owner should always go for secure payment options and adding a feature like multiple payment options i.e Debit card, Credit card, and UPI payments (GooglePay, PhonePe, Paytm, etc) will make the game trustworthy and that will result in generating huge revenues.

Less user interaction options

Chatting is a great feature to add to a card game. Most gamers always prefer to know about other gamers and increase user interaction. Chatting will definitely help in increasing user interaction. The owner can add a special feature like emojis to express the feeling in a more precise way. Also, the owner can add a video chat feature. Most users like video chats instead of normal chats. Giving both options in the same app will surely result in gaining more users.

Conclusion

In this fast-paced digital world where providing essential features in the game app becomes essential for the app’s growth, it is very important to choose a perfect vendor or game development company to develop the game app.

A game development company must have in-house proven and experienced 2D/3D Designers, Frontend/Backend Developers, QA team(Testers), Server management team, Project managers.
