Product
HALOG
Turn-based online multiplayer hex strategy game where players compete to control infected hosts in a living city.
HALOG (Host Adaptive Lifeform Organism Generation) is a DigitalTouch product: players control a virus on a hexagonal city map, infect residents, and outmaneuver opponents while the City Protocol reacts automatically and deterministically after every turn.
The challenge
Building a fair multiplayer strategy game requires deterministic rules, reliable realtime sync, and a client experience that stays readable on mobile hex maps.
What was built
HALOG — a turn-based online multiplayer hex strategy product with ranked/casual modes and a City Protocol that reacts after every player turn.
