Introduction
Having built a few mafia games in my time, I’ve found them to be the perfect ecosystem for shipping fast features, working with different technology and having free run space. The original Mafia Online reached thousands of users between 2018 and its closure in 2022.
The wide range of features that are available in a multiplayer online game make it the ideal testing ground, and the active communities provide instant feedback for UX improvements and new feature ideas, making it a constant grindstone for levelling up.
