Project Overview

Tank Supremacy is a multiplayer mobile tank combat game developed for iOS and Android using Unity 6. Players customize and upgrade their vehicles, compete in Team Battle and Free For All matches, and participate in Domination and Diamonds Forever events. The experience combines real-time combat with player progression, legion communities, squad formation, and competitive leaderboards.

Solution

The project uses a modular architecture that separates gameplay, multiplayer networking, backend communication, and presentation. Dedicated services and state machines manage authentication, content loading, matchmaking, battle initialization, and results:
 

• A custom REST API handles player profiles, progression, inventory, tank upgrades, matchmaking coordination, leaderboards, and purchase validation.
• Socket.IO delivers matchmaking and readiness updates, profile changes, team invitations, and live chat messages.
• Photon manages live multiplayer rooms, player synchronization, combat events, and shared match state.
• Backend-provided configuration supplies tank and match settings, while event services load availability, remaining attempts, and session countdowns.
• Zenject dependency injection, UniTask, and Unity Addressables support service composition, asynchronous operations, and asset loading.
• Apple Game Center and Google Play Games provide platform authentication, while Unity IAP handles purchases with backend validation.

Gameplay supports solo matchmaking and squad entry for team modes. Players can upgrade tank modules, equip technologies, and personalize vehicles with paints, patterns, decals, and auras. Unity’s Universal Render Pipeline, Control Freak 2, and DOTween support the visual presentation, mobile controls, and interface animations.
