Idle Arena – Clicker Heroes Battle - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

Yes, I do have prior coding experience. I have a Computer Science degree and I used to develop educational children games before I moved on to developing games for the mainstream players.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

The most challenging aspect of the development of Idle Arena was ensuring that players have enough things to play it every day. As for most Idle games, part of the resources is obtained through waiting and logging in multiple times daily. It can be challenging to have enough content for players to keep coming back multiple times every day.

Budhi Tantra, the interviewee, is the owner of PlayPlayFun LLP. It is a platform where you can play, publish, and promote your favorite games.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

Personally, the game is inspired from other games that we have played in the past. The battle is highly inspired by the battle in the Langrisser series as well as Dragon Force (Sega Saturn). There are some influences as well from Ogre Battle.

These games are classic strategy games that I grew up playing and have always wanted to develop something similar to it.

As for why I love those games, that’s easy. They are one of the leading turn-based strategy games in the market back in the days and I have always had soft spots for TBS games, so it’s natural for me to enjoy the games.

How long have you been working on this app?

We have been working on this app for about a year.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

When we were developing Idle Arena, we believed that there is still room for an idle game in the market where players can engage both in the game and out of the game. This is important as the nature of the game is to partially wait. Therefore, while waiting, they can engage out of the game on other platforms. In our case, in our social media channels.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

There are quite a few idle games that are similar to us, however, our game is the only one that has a featured called Draft Arena. It is where players can “draft” heroes at its max level and play it against other drafted teams by other players for rewards. This is unique to our game and it has been well received by fans.

We are also highly active on social media to listen to our fans to improve our game. Players can head to our Discord to meet the devs directly at https://discord.gg/yrgKntk .

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

We continue to update the game periodically with more content and features. We always release a release note before an update and players can check it out under our page’s Facebook notes.

Therefore, players can expect more events, heroes, bosses, and alliance features in the future.
