Overview
ELK GameVerse is ELK Consulting's gaming platform: one account, every game, on the web and on mobile. The catalogue is organised by continent, with the ambition of one game from each. Three titles are currently in beta.
The problem
Games drawn from African history can be counted on one hand, and those that exist treat the continent as scenery. Separately, a game whose score is computed on the player's device is a game whose leaderboard means nothing.
Objectives
Build a platform able to host several games under a single account, treat each historical subject seriously rather than as a backdrop, and make scores impossible to dispute.
The solution
A React and Next.js platform, shipping as a web app and a mobile app. The score is never computed by the device: the server issues the game seed, replays every order the player gave and computes the result itself. Three games are in beta. Africa Puzzle Empire is a puzzle game in which you build an empire across Africa. Shaka: Rise of the Zulu is a turn-based strategy game in two chapters, where food, materials and people are managed to raise regiments across a campaign map. Michelangelo: The Sistine Ceiling is a worksite simulation: each morning you choose how much plaster to lay, and the day settles the cost across patience, strength, ducats, quality and flaws. Each chapter carries its own historical context. A full back office handles the catalogue, pages, advertising, progression, live operations and an audit trail.
Results
Three playable games in beta across two continents, under a single account. The interface is translated into eight languages — English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Hindi and Kiswahili. Server-side scoring makes cheating pointless: a replayed run that does not match is rejected.
Conclusion
The platform is in beta: the three games are playable and the catalogue keeps growing, continent by continent. The mobile and web apps are progressing in parallel.
