November 2017, Lightweave and Exceed Sports and Entertainment launched the District Race App. The app offers a new gamified, urban exploration experience to runners by placing checkpoints and challenges in cities around the world and challenging them to push themselves to see how far can they explore.
I joined the District team in as a Unity3D developer in September 2017 and have been responsible for developing several key systems such as:
- District mission functionality
- Mass participation event functionality
- Checkpoint/Challenges Grid Parsing System
- Live leaderboard system
- Challenges user interface
- Cloud database integration
Some of these features are shown in app below.
This project was challenging due to the new race format and working with a wide multi-discipinary team across multiple time zones with differing levels of technical literacy.
