Digitopolis Game Studio aims to transform an old online card game into a unique social game, leveraging a small, agile team. They focus on developing game logic and implementing features like quests, achievements, and a capsule machine while addressing their lack of experience. The development is structured into cycles for review and iteration, with plans for beta testing and future expansions.
