TREE WORLD
Full-Cycle Development & Live Operations for Collection-Based Mobile Adventure
Tree World is a mobile adventure game where players grow a towering tree, collect unique critters, and trade with friends. Juego Studios handled the complete porting, development, and live operations for this collection-driven experience, delivering a feature-rich mobile game with social trading, RPG minigames, and dual-currency progression across iOS and Android.
Project Context
Tree World required a complete mobile game implementation combining collection mechanics, social features, and live event systems. The project demanded careful balancing of player engagement hooks, monetization integration, and retention mechanics across a 300-level progression system.
Key requirements included:
- A large collection of forest critters across structured rarity tiers (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Limited) with unique acquisition paths
- Social trading system with neighbor mechanics and approval workflows
- RPG-style minigame (Critter Adventure) with path choices and boss battles
- Dual-currency economy balancing free progression with premium acceleration
- Live event systems (rotating Critter Capsules, Golden Egg hatching, daily rewards)
- Cross-platform cloud saves via Facebook integration



Our Contribution & Execution
Juego Studios managed the complete development lifecycle from porting through live operations, implementing all game systems with comprehensive feature specifications.
Our contributions included:
- Platform porting and Unity implementation from original codebase
- Complete systems implementation: collection mechanics, progression, social trading, minigames
- Four fairy-driven gameplay mechanics (Poppy summoning, Pappy trading, Pippy fusion, Patty automation)
- Spreadsheet-driven balancing across 300 branches, 6 plant categories, and a 4-rarity critter system (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Limited) with structured acquisition paths
- Social infrastructure with neighbor visiting, trading approval workflows, and daily gifting
- Critter Adventure RPG minigame with procedural paths, 9 obstacle types, and boss encounters
- Live event systems: 3-day Critter Capsule rotations, Golden Egg hatching cycles, daily rewards
Execution approach
- Rarity-driven collection loops supporting long-term retention
- Time-limited pressure through rotating events and cooldown timers
- Social comparison via neighbor tree visiting
- Strategic trading economy driven by asymmetric collection
- Multiple free Vita Gem earning paths to support non-paying players
- Rewarded video ad integration (Supersonic mediation with Vungle, AppLovin, Unity Ads)
