Multiplayer Idle Game

We can build all the common types, and mix them too: • Clicker idle: tap to earn a little, then earn automatically after upgrading • Tycoon: run shops, restaurants or factories and keep growing • Idle adventure: characters automatically fight monsters, collect gear and level up • Cultivation idle: realms, techniques, alchemy and tribulations • Text idle: an all-text interface, driven by events and choices • Raising games: pets, characters, farms • Gathering: mining, fishing, woodcutting • Merge idle: merge two identical items into a higher-level one • Card idle: collect characters, build teams, auto battles • Idle tower defense: towers placed automatically, waves fought automatically Not currently accepted: 3D games and action games that need real-time control.

Single-player: each player plays alone, saves are stored on the player's phone or computer, and no game server is needed, so development and monthly costs are lower. You can charge for downloads, offer rewards for watching ads, or sell unlockable content in the app. Multiplayer: players have accounts and saves are stored on the server, so they can continue on a new phone. You can add leaderboards, guilds, chat, arenas, server-wide world bosses, plus top-ups and a shop. Values and earnings are calculated on the server, so changing the phone's clock or editing save files doesn't work. If you want to test the market first, you can start with single-player and switch to multiplayer later. The gameplay and art can be reused, and the price difference is quoted separately.

First, the market rates: on Taiwan's freelance platform Tasker in 2026, simple mini-games cost US$970–100,000, full mobile games US$3,230–500,000, and games with multiplayer, a backend and operations tools US$16,130–2000,000. Most require you to ask for a quote before you know the price. How we do it: • Prices, plan contents and the number of art and sound assets are public on this page, and quotes list every item • We make the art and sound, so you don't need to find other people • We already use ready-made parts for accounts, payments, the admin panel, reports and support tickets instead of writing them from scratch, so the price is lower than similar projects • We start with the web version, so top-ups don't pay the app stores' 15%–30% cut; publishing to the stores is an add-on • Stats and events can be adjusted in the admin panel, so you don't need an engineer every time • Earnings are calculated on the server, so changing the phone's clock or editing save files doesn't work • You buy the source code, database and original art and sound files outright, with a one-year warranty after delivery

We make the art and sound. The quantities for each plan are listed above, and the commercial use license is handed over to you as well. Before work starts, we make 2–3 art style samples, and full production begins only after you choose one. The interface, icons, characters, backgrounds, effects, sound effects and background music are all included in the plan. For more character illustrations or music, see the add-ons above. Market rates for reference: elsewhere, one character design costs US$165–18,000, a character CG US$0.11,000–4.80,000, one game music track US$645–60,000, and one sound effect US$10–700.

Yes. See the add-ons above; Android and iOS are priced separately. • You apply for the developer accounts: Apple costs US$99 per year, Google a one-time US$25 • New personal Google accounts must have 12 people test the app for 14 days in a row before it can be officially released. We'll tell you how to set this up • Selling game currency or unlockable content in the app requires the store's in-app purchases, and the store takes 15%–30%. This is the store's rule • The store version works offline and runs like a real app, not just a wrapped web page. If it's rejected, we fix it until it passes You don't have to publish to the stores either: the web version can be added to the phone's home screen and opens full-screen just the same. Top-ups go through ECPay or NewebPay, with no store commission.

Upgrade prices, output, drops and draw probabilities are all kept in the balance settings, separate from the code. For the single-player version, you get a balance table: edit it, upload it again, and the changes take effect. The multiplayer version has a balance admin panel where you edit directly on a web page, and the changes take effect the next time players enter the game. Before delivery, we use a program to simulate one player playing for 30 days in a row, to make sure every stage can be progressed through, players don't get stuck, and the game isn't finished in a day or two.

Multiplayer features like the arena and world bosses are built so players don't need to be online at the same time: arena battles run automatically against the other player's team, and world bosses are fought by each player separately with damage added up across the server. This way the server doesn't have to hold open connections all the time, and monthly costs are much lower. For the Operations plan, acceptance testing simulates 300 players online at once. If you need more, just upgrade the server; the code doesn't need to be rewritten.

With the Operations plan, players can top up to buy game coins, bundles, monthly cards and passes, and the money goes straight from the payment provider to your account. If you publish an app, in-app purchases through the app store must be used inside the app. Game coins can't be exchanged back for cash. We also don't build player-to-player trading of game coins, or any feature that turns in-game items into money. If there are lucky draws, the odds of each prize are published as required by the Mandatory and Prohibited Provisions for Standard Contracts of Online Game Services, and draw records are kept for at least 180 days.
