Founded in 2020, NDUS Interactive has quickly carved out a niche for itself in the world of NFT gaming. With a team of 50 passionate developers, the studio is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the gaming industry. Their innovative approach combines cutting-edge technology with immersive gameplay, offering players a unique and engaging experience.
In addition to their creative prowess, NDUS Interactive is committed to leveraging the power of cloud technology to enhance their game development process. By using Tencent Cloud's robust infrastructure, the studio can ensure seamless scalability, high performance, and reliable security for their games.
NDUS Interactive is a pioneering game development studio focused on creating innovative blockchain games. Their flagship product, Xociety, is a blockchain pop shooter game that requires precise and secure operations to ensure a stable gaming experience for its users.
Challenges & Goal
Before partnering with Tencent Cloud, NDUS Interactive faced several significant challenges. The services provided by their previous cloud provider were expensive, which had a considerable impact on the company's budget. Additionally, the response time for technical support was slow, leading to delays in resolving critical issues. Ensuring the security and stability of their blockchain game operations also posed a significant challenge for the company.
NDUS takes an aggressive approach to publishing and servicing multiple games, but not all of them perform well. Some games fail significantly, and there are cases where the server infrastructure costs could not even be recovered. In these situations, if infrastructure costs were very high, they resulted in a 100% loss, creating a significant issue.
Specific Needs:
NDUS Interactive needed a cloud solution that could reduce operational costs, provide fast and reliable technical support in Chinese, and enhance the security and stability of their gaming platform.
Why Tencent Cloud
By switching to Tencent Cloud, NDUS Interactive was able to significantly reduce their operational costs, making their business more financially efficient. Tencent Cloud's robust infrastructure improved NDUS Interactive's capacity to handle increased traffic, ensuring a stable and secure gaming experience for their users. Additionally, Tencent Cloud engineers provided real-time support, facilitating quick issue resolution and system optimisation, which was particularly beneficial for optimising their live streaming services.
Unlike other cloud providers, who often lacked personnel who could communicate in Chinese—a core competency given the amount of work NDUS does with Chinese game developers—Tencent Cloud's team could effectively communicate in Chinese. This eliminated the need for translation tools or hiring interpreters, which had previously been quite inconvenient. NDUS Interactive also implemented Tencent Cloud's ACE to block illegal player actions, ensuring a fair and secure gaming environment. Furthermore, the company is considering adopting Tencent Cloud's MPS to deliver high-resolution video feeds more affordably, improving content quality for their users.
Highlighted Benefits
NDUS Interactive achieved significant cost savings and efficient resource utilisation through Tencent Cloud's flexible cost structure. The collaboration with Tencent Cloud enhanced service reliability and improved content quality, ensuring a stable and secure gaming experience for NDUS Interactive's users. Extensive support from the Tencent Cloud team ensured smooth communication and a fast response to technical issues, contributing to the overall success of NDUS Interactive's operations.
