Android Game Programming For Subway Surfers by Datanet: 5:17pm On Aug 16, 2015
Dear all.

i have been following the programming section looking for very good android programmers. some of the programs i have seen are not too encouraging.

my request is: can anyone programme to the standard of an android game like subway surfers. my intention is to engage a programmer to design a game

if you can, kindly drop your email or phone number so i contact you to disucss further. note that i would request to see and test an andriod game that you must hav done in the past.

dhtml. pcguru etc. can anyone of you do this.

I don't think Subway Surfers was created by one programmer.

okay. so what is required. how many programmers. what skill sets. leave out the designs and colours. am more interested in someone thta can write a 3d program like tht. note that subway surfers is essentially 2d design to look 3d. you can only move up. left. right. down. it is actually the screen tht moves towards you.

hello.

i have done further research and found out that the game can be built by one person using a game engine called unity3D. that was what the two original designers of subway surfers used.

Does anyone have experience using this software. you can download free at unity3d.com

While a dedicated brilliant all-rounder developer can create something close to Subway surfer game (temple run was created by a couple), it will be a tremendous task to give one developer the job of team.
BTW, Subway Surfer wasn't created by one developer (regardless of your source), it was co-developed by two studios, Kiloo and SYBO. Combining the two teams, there are around 11 guys who worked on the project. Each with his own area of specialisation.
Yes, they used Unity3D. And No, Subway surfer is not "essentially 2D design to look 3D". There is actually nothing 2D about the game, it only has restricted movements which is part of the game mechanics.
There are quite a number of Nigerian devs adept in Unity3D and the likes. Perhaps they are not noticing this thread.
On a more serious note, you need to do more research on game dev and outline the type of programmers you need for the job. I will refer you to the wikipedia page on the topic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_development. For more on Subway Surfers check these sites: www.nardio.net/2012/09/12/kiloo-subway-surfers-interview/ and www.venturebeat.com/2013/03/06/subway-surfers-creator-explains-why-co-development-is-key-in-mobile-games/
I would have loved to work with you (I love seeing my people interested in game dev) but I'm pretty much occupied with another game.

Dear all,

So programming on this game has commenced in earnest. We are hoping to develop a Nigerian run game similar to subway surfers. We have been at it for some months now. Though progress has been slow, the game is finally coming together. We plan to release the game first quarter next year.

Will provide further updates as we get closer to the launch date.

ordinary android codes cannot create a game like subway surfers, u need a game engine like unity3d, 3drad, etc.. To make the game then convert the byte code of the game engine to that of java.. Unity3d can create android games with its game language..

Subway surfers is a 2.5D game
