Platform Choice

platform

To promote accessibility, PetStory is designed to be playable anywhere and anytime, whether during short breaks, commutes, or moments of downtime.

This vision requires: Mobile-friendly gameplay with idle mechanics. Short, session-based design (around 5–10 minutes per play). A balanced experience between passive and active play - too idle feels unrewarding, while too active contradicts our goal of convenience.

Web Application​

We’ve chosen to launch PetStory as a web application rather than native iOS or Android apps. While mobile platforms offer better UI/UX, they also impose limitations that restrict Web3 integration and development freedom.

For example, current app store policies prohibit linking to external marketplaces, which prevents us from fully participating in the MSU Marketplace Affiliate Program. In addition, platform fees and approval cycles can slow down innovation and reduce treasury efficiency.

By choosing a web-based approach, PetStory can:

  • Deploy updates faster without waiting for store approvals
  • Maintain direct connectivity to Web3 services and MSU partners
  • Ensure full accessibility across devices with minimal resource constraints
