Storm Lancers
Platforms: Nintendo Switch 1/2, PC
Storm Lancers is the first game developed and published by ProbablyMonsters studio. The game is a cooperative, rogue-lite, multiplayer action-adventure game set in the fictional world of Storm Lancers. The game is primarily designed for a couch coop experience but also supports single-player games.
Storm Lancers required custom analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, and visualizations to support the game during its development and in production. The game does not make use of any third-party hosting services, and this presented a unique challenge and opportunity to create a custom data telemetry collection platform that game clients could connect to directly.
As a result, our founding team members designed and developed a flexible data ingestion pipeline that could scale rapidly to support millions of players and trillions of events per day. With the flexibility to scale services down to practically zero, the team was able to achieve a high level of performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for the game.
