Project Overview

Schnyder’s Dice of Fire! is a cross-platform multiplayer dice game developed by App Vertices for iOS and Android. The game introduces a unique dice-based scoring system combined with risk-and-reward mechanics, social competition, and a token-based reward economy. 

From day one, the app was designed to support three parallel monetization models—a free ad-supported version, a premium subscription version, and a token-powered progression system—while maintaining a seamless and engaging gameplay experience for a nationwide audience. 

The Challenge

  • Complex Monetization Structure: Designing a system that supports free play, subscriptions, in-app purchases, and token-based gambling without breaking game balance. 
  • Real-Time Multiplayer Performance: Ensuring low-latency, fair, and synchronized dice rolls for multiplayer matches across the country. 
  • Fairness & Trust: Providing transparent gameplay logs and anti-cheat mechanisms, especially critical for gambling matches. 
  • Scalability: Supporting tournaments, matchmaking, and leaderboards with potentially thousands of concurrent users. 
  • Regulatory Readiness: Implementing KYC and user verification workflows for gambling features. 
  • Cross-Platform Consistency: Delivering identical gameplay quality and UI/UX on both iOS and Android from a single codebase. 

Our Solution

App Vertices designed and implemented a scalable, real-time gaming architecture using Flutter for the frontend and Node.js with WebSockets for the backend. 
A centralized token economy engine was built to manage rewards, purchases, wagers, and payouts while keeping gameplay fair and engaging. 

To ensure transparency and compliance: 

  • Dice rolls and game outcomes were logged and auditable. 
  • A robust Super Admin Panel was developed to control users, tokens, monetization, and gameplay integrity in real time. 
  • Firebase Authentication simplified secure onboarding, while KYC verification was enforced for gambling participants. 

This architecture allowed App Vertices to launch all three versions of the game simultaneously without compromising performance or user trust.
