"A combined effect is always greater than the sum of separate effects."

Recently, the merger of  Evon Technologies Pvt Ltd and Logic Simplified was announced, with exactly this synergism at its core. The two companies will be functioning as one. This Diwali, the CTO, Sumeet Arora, and the CEO, Vijendra Chauhan, made this decision known to the workforce of the two companies. The instant applause that followed Vijendra Chauhan’s announcement added an extra note of celebration to the already happy occasion.

Evon’s journey, as shared by the founder, Sumeet Arora, is important to know - not just to understand this forward-looking decision but also to draw a leaf of inspiration from. 

Evon Technologies was founded 17 years ago, as a small business big on skill, passion and a commitment to grow roots in the technology industry. A steady inflow of fixed price projects coupled with a lot of hard work and planning, drove the vision forward. In the next phase of the company, ‘work for hire’ deepened those roots even as all eyes were kept fixed on the global horizon - to foresee and stay ahead in the ever-evolving tech landscape.

The time of the pandemic was challenging in ways the world was not prepared for, followed by high attrition, inflation and a looming global recession. However, in Sumeet’s own words - ‘Evon didn’t just survive, it thrived!’ While the strength of the company doubled to over 400 people, the revenue tripled. Today, Evon Technologies is one of the largest, most trusted, software development companies in Northern India. 

Meanwhile, back in 2011, Logic Simplified was founded by Sumeet Arora as a niche game design and development company. After over a decade of inventive products and the best game development services, the team of 3 has grown to over 100 top designers and game app developers under one roof. Its constancy of growth is testimony to its solid foundation and resilience, as is its global reach in providing emerging technology solutions.

Logic Simplified is now a unit of Evon Technologies Pvt Ltd - with common leadership and a single focus. The two companies are ready to take advantage of synergies. 

Synergies are typically described as ‘one plus one equalling three’, three being the value produced when two companies decide to work as one. Rightly so, it is time for Evon 3.0. 

Going forward in its new vision, as shared by Sumeet, Evon plans to target scaling and further increase its global presence, with international delivery centers and new client locations. A renewed focus on consulting is envisioned. Price-capped implementation, with more liability and ownership, is expected. 

Thanks to the merger, the diversification of the portfolio is a value addition that is a win-win for both. Logic Simplified brings to the table expertise and experience in AR,VR, Corporate Metaverse, Blockchain and Gaming domains. Evon, on the other hand, has been freely implementing Cognitive AI and Reinforcement Learning in its solutions. 

Overall, with more access to industry-leading talent, market and customer base, both companies are charting a new road ahead, strategizing greater growth and productivity, while also hoping to give back to society through renewed CSR initiatives.   

At any given time in any given company, the entrepreneurial ecosystem, expertise and experience make for a successful combination. With Evon Technologies and Logic Simplified merging, we will have all of these, two times over.

1. Market research: Get the answers to these questions.

• Are you the first one to have this idea?
• Is there a game in the market already on this idea?
• What is the closest game to your idea in the market?
• How successful are those games? How much competition do you have?
• If you are the first one to develop game on this idea, then think why someone has not developed the game before on it? Is it viable?
• If there are already games similar to your idea, then what different are you going to offer to beat the competition?
• Is there enough space in the market to have your game along with other similar games to share the market space and still be profitable?

It is difficult for you to get these answers yourself. This is the first and most crucial step where your consultant will help you.

2. Converting an idea to a business case : Once you are convinced that your game idea has the space and potential to fit in and do well, the next step is to give your idea a shape. The consultant can help put your idea on pen and paper. This gives a concrete shape to your idea. When it is written, the idea converts to a business case. In case of the game, the best way to start is with some drawings. Need not to be an artist at this stage, but start putting your idea for the game play on paper.

3. Identifying the right channel to deliver your idea : Today's world is full of channels through which you can reach to your customers. Your idea can be delivered through web, social channels like Facebook, applications on computers, consoles like PS2 & Xbox, mobiles and other handheld devices. It is a key to understand the strength of your game idea and your target demographics. Based on that right delivery channel(s) need to be chosen for the idea. Your consultants will show you statistics for usage of different channels based on demographics (location, age). A professional business consultant will help define that.

Key:- People enjoy games more on detachable handheld devices rather than wired computers. What fun it is to be able to play while you are laid down on your bed? At the end of the day, you plan to relax.

4. Identifying the right technology : Once you know what needs to be developed and how it needs to be delivered, the next step is to choose the right technology platforms to develop it. Do you want to go for proprietary solutions or open source solutions? Which platforms, frameworks, programming languages, databases do you need? You want to develop for each platform independently or you can work with one of those cross platform framework and leverage the philosophy of Build once, Run anywhere. You can avail game design and development services from experts to choose the best technology platforms to deliver your requirements through your chosen channels.

5. Finding the experts : Now you know the skills that you require. The next step is to find and hire those skills. At this level, your consultant will act as an effective HR for you and get you the right people to do the job.

It is always better to partner with game design studios for gaming ideas. They have a big pool of talented and experienced game app developers to build highly engaging and entertaining gaming applications. You will find gaming consultants, artists, developers, testers, monetization experts, all at one place.

6. Planning the execution : Now you have everything that you need to build the game. It is time to plan the execution. Today's world does not want to wait for a year to get a taste of a new game. If you are going to take a year to bring your idea to world, someone else will get it out earlier. It is the age of MVP (Minimum Viable Product). Do not build too much. Do not try to give everything. Keep your idea lean and get it to the end users quick. Your users will tell you what they want most and build that. Give them what they want and not what you want to give them. Consultant will now put on the Product Managers hat and help you plan this.

7. Marketing : You are not building the product for yourself. You got to sell it as well. Your consultancy partners job is not complete until he helps you with marketing your product as well. Product development is just a small part; the big part is how you market it.

So, go find a consultant who can take you on a ride from start to end. This is the first step. You take this step in right direction, the rest will follow. You falter in this step, it can result in a nightmare.

The vengeance that Karma serves to the voracious and deliberately mean manifests itself in varied forms. At times it shows up as natural disasters, at others in the form of dengue infested mosquito. Our perspicacious client wanted to depict this in the form of an engaging game.  Our iPhone game developers fueled his thought juggernaut by helping him create Angry Ball Street, an iOS game where you get to teach fraudulent and nefarious people a lesson. All of the world’s anger is suffused into one big ball, which is hell-bent on trampling over everything in its path. This ball is purposely placed in the most notorious streets, to discipline the most scheming and deceitful people.

The objective of the game is to obtain maximum points in the stipulated time by trampling the throng of wrong doers, their cars and properties. You get to control the angry ball, through the swipe and tilt features, and run over baffled corrupt crowd and their belongings. You qualify for the next level once you acquire a preset score. Each new level comes with its own setting of crushable objects and special effects. iTunes offers a free version of the game with one unlocked level. Further levels of the game can be unlocked on payment.

The Wrath of the Raging Ball

The karmic forces get together to show consequences as an aftermath to the conniving nature of individuals. You get to assist these forces, which are manifested in a ball by running over deceptive people and their properties. This game required many specific animations and special effects. Our developers utilized Detonator to depict blasts and Particle system to show balloons in 3D animation. The particle system was also used to give users the option of putting Advertisements.

The client reached out to us to avail impeccable iPhone game development services and didn’t regret the decision of choosing us for his game. The game was developed on the Unity 3D development kit and it was coded using Javascript and C# on an SQlite database. A stat pathfinder was used to trace paths of the people running to save themselves from the raging ball. An InApp purchase integration facilitates the purchase of the paid levels of the game. Our Graphic designer specifically created the menus using the GUI skin so as to ensure a lively interface. Our Game Design India Team strived towards creating vibrant and pulsating designs to make the application stand out.

The team that set the ball rolling

1 Team Lead, 1 iOS Developer, 1 Graphic Designer and 1 Quality Analyst brought this project to fruition in 3 months.

Temporal transits

We are a game app developer striving to create profitable games, which help people overcome bouts of boredom in the most pleasurable manner. This addictive application will keep you glued to your screens for endless hours. We have been successfully able to capture user's attention through a refined game-play and wonderful special effects. This game is specially created for people who get bored very fast and are eager to do something about keeping themselves entertained.

We realized that unlike any other business process, Game Development requires very specific, niche mindset as well as knowledge that takes years to gain. We can surely get a game developed from a company that has developers, not trained to be Game Developers. But, we realized that the end game which a regular developer builds, as compared to the output of a game developer is miles apart, not just in quality but also in turn-around time. Hence, the core idea to build Logic Simplified as only a Game App Developer evolved.

At LS, we only hire people who have good foundation in mathematics and have loved playing games from their childhood. They should already be aware of end-user expectations and know how to realize them. In Offshore Game Development, unlike any other business process, you cannot spec down every requirement, hence a great deal of inputs are expected from the developer himself. While developing games, a developer has to constantly think about elements of the game that would give him an Adrenaline rush. He has to be closely involved in the game and incorporate many unspecified requirements very quickly.

The Gaming industry is evolving each day. Many new inventions like Windows Kinect & Leap Motion have taken over the market. It would be impossible for any non-game developer to cover the gap from basics to optimum usage of the new technologies. At LS, our game development company, a developer programs basic physics rules into most complicated graph algorithms day in and day out. They understand rendering and GPU working inside out. They manipulate basic 2D graphics and implement most complicated 3D rendering logics every day. While most non-game developers might struggle to figure out ways to implement basic features, our team knows exactly the algorithm, the library and the platform in which that feature can be best implemented. These strong basics help us quickly learn and adapt to above mentioned new technologies as well as technologies like WebGL.

Our team at LS not only has great programmers but also experts in game development technologies like:

• Physics Engines.
• Maths Libraries.
• Networking Programming.
• Gaming Servers
• Streaming Servers.
• OpenGL, DirectX and other Rendering Engines.
• Shading Language.
• XMPP.
• RTMP, RTMPE
• Security, Encryption
• and many more.

Domain specific and deep skills are the need of the hour to hire for game development services and that is what, we at Logic Simplified, a game design and development services provider in India is striving to achieve.
