The Sama-Sama Huat campaign was launched by Lotus's Malaysia for Chinese New Year 2023.
I was contracted by a creative agency to develop a game that could be played offline, and loaded onto iPads. The iPads would then be taken for roadshows across Malaysia, and contestants would win prizes if they managed to win before the timer ran out.
The game was a simple memory game incorporating elements from Lotus's and Chinese New Year. It was developed using Next.js, and was a Progressive Web App (PWA).
On your mobile, click the Share button, and then select "Add to Home Screen". The game will then be installed on your device, and can be played offline.
The phase 'Sama Sama Huat' is a play on the Malay phrase 'Sama Sama' which means 'together'. The word 'Huat' is a Chinese word that means 'prosperity'. Combined, it means 'Together We Prosper'.
I was also tasked to create the music and sound effects for the game, which I outsourced to a music producer.
Conclusion
I had fun developing this game because I got to use components that I rarely use such as PWA, creating splash screens, app icons, and sound effects. I also got to use Next.js for a project that wasn't a website, which was a nice experience.
