Overcoming Challenges: Kiwi Creations’ Creative Solutions
Kiwi Creations brought solutions for the challenges Virtua was facing using advanced technology, bringing smooth performance across devices. Here are some of the difficulties Virtua was facing with the solutions provided by Kiwi Creations:
Challenge 1: Bulky Asset Files
The file size of avatar assets was initially too large as it included heads, faces, and clothes for the avatar, making the files even larger than 8MB, which eventually made the app size 2GB. This made WebGL performance optimization difficult, making the app and avatar load time unbalanced.
Solution:
Kiwi Creations smartly implemented a technique called Unity Addressables, which loads only necessary elements during runtime and successfully reduced the app size from 2GB to 30MB, effectively reducing loading time.
Challenge 2: High GPU Usage
High GPU usage up to 97% due to live rendering of the avatars caused lags, ultimately resulting in poor performance.
Solution:
This challenge was overcome by creating a review system in which item previews replaced live rendering. This reduced GPU usage from 97% to 24%, providing smooth, lag-free experience.
Data-Driven Improvements
Kiwi Creations made sure the application design was user-centric by integrating feedback loops. They used GameAnalytics and monitored user interactions with the application regularly to identify the pain points, which helped them refine the app.
A Step-by-Step Approach to Success
Kiwi Creations developed and followed careful strategies to achieve success, such as:
