A Digital Application Produced By Gamers For Gamers, Empowering Players To Connect And Conquer.
Game Geeks News are proud to bring you another amazing project currently running on kickstarter. Kieren ONeill started this campaign to raise funds in order to bring Alliance SOS to life.
If you’re an avid strategy gamer who regularly invests in universal gaming with other players, you know what digital communication struggles can be like – trying to have your informative messages seen and executed is often a hassle with so many factors influencing worldwide connections while you play.
We have all encountered these inconveniences across the gaming landscape. Conflicts like time zone conversion and global language translation regularly contribute to communication complications and cause teams trouble with following the team’s direction and accomplishing their goals.
Perhaps you’ve been a leader on your team and have experienced complete burnout from attempting to relay important messages to your teammates. Or because of team miscommunication, the team has changed multiple leaders, indicating exhaustion from those in charge.
Alliance SOS solves all these gaming communication problems by promoting an interactive environment for players to connect and convey their tactics across the app’s internal messaging network and notification system. Regardless of the number of messages they receive or how many languages the app is translating, players can stop feeling as if their messages are being left unread by their teammates with Alliance SOS’s collaborative platform.
The enjoyable journey of forming friendships forged across the world is what truly inspired Kieren and the team to design and develop Alliance SOS. They care about their app because it delivers exactly what gamers want in their gaming experience. Alliance SOS is structured to consider the desires of the strategy game players who use the application and accommodate their expectations with the specs and features real gamers would appreciate in an app solely produced for them, by gamers like us.
Since Kieren`s team consists of strategy gaming fans, the idea of the app was generated from their experience with playing this game genre. The teams imagination for the app was born when they envisioned players downloading a popular mobile strategy game expecting to kill some zombies, but the minute they enter a session, they encounter a sensational alliance of players, a team strategizing to succeed made up of players worldwide – this vision is what generated the concept for Alliance SOS.
The chance for players to join a community constructed to compassionately prevent their city from being destroyed by in-game attackers in addition to their hard work building it is what motivated the app’s production. They aim to enable players to collectively fight with numerous gamers around the world to protect the months of dedication and time spent defending their cities and defeating their enemies.

Advertisement Testing:
The Alliance SOS team is open to all types of advertising, from digital to print, they welcome all advertising opportunities available to promote the Alliance SOS app. A few options they have considered and plan to execute are online commercials, virtual ad banners, printed banners to advertise in physical stores and public spaces, in addition to social media marketing and email marketing.
As a social network for strategy gamers everywhere, they plan to advocate for Alliance SOS anywhere they can to invite gamers surrounding the globe into this strong community of gaming friendships and unending fun. Through an official Alliance SOS website, and an influential social media presence on platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, they aim to make every gamer out there aware of what they have created. And by encouraging players to support an app that has been thoroughly tested by gamers just like them in addition to granting gamers who sponsor the app’s development valuable rewards, they are confident such promotion will help build the Alliance SOS platform and its community.
Our Fundraising Goal And Financial Contributions:
Alliance SOS has required consistent brainstorming and dedication from all aspects of their team. This project is not new – it began as an idea that transformed into a proof of concept in just under a year to determine the market size for its widespread use and to regulate its features depending on what users want the app to offer. Donated funds will support the development of future updates the team is planning to implement, which include integrated surveys/forms for group member feedback, allowing them an inside look into the ideas of devoted gamers regarding the app’s specifications, features, and functions. Another update will include customizable tiers of access within a group to enable select members’ measurable access to group controls, depending on their team role.
Alliance SOS is built on a subscription model designed with built-in rewards to ensure the application’s costs are reduced and functionality is improved upon its launch, warranting the market a fully scaled and ready-to-use application. The application is suitable for both subscription-based and non-subscription-based users so both player types can benefit from the app’s unique features like SOS credit transferring and other exclusive extras.
Years of working in the business realm and gaining credible experience have taught them that with any product or service, it is best to under promise and over deliver on results. The purpose is to provide the ultimate gaming experience available on the market, which includes all gamers and their playing preferences, schedules, and styles. They intend to acknowledge every individual sponsor Alliance SOS has within its user base, in every aspect of the application. As an application entirely structured for gamers, by gamers, they want the Alliance SOS community to have full control over how the application is improved and determine what enhancements are necessary for it to become better. The support of their audience is everything – users will have the power to measure the application’s development, upgrades, and complete evolution.
Why Alliance SOS Is Worth It:
Kieren’s team launched Alliance SOS with a long-term mission for the app to create a communal atmosphere for strategy game players to prosper. Every true gamer wants a gaming friend and that is exactly what the application provides – they plan to establish Alliance SOS as the largest social gaming network for strategy gamers to create digital friendships and offer them a place to connect beyond their gaming tags to engage and share fun gaming memories!
Alliance SOS is a clever resource for forming alliances and instantly reaching all members of an alliance group for in-game assistance if your team is being attacked or if you have a need to strategize for a plan of attack! The app addresses these needs by enabling you to send a custom SOS or a digital picture to everyone in the group with a few simple taps so you can notify everyone and get right back to gaming with minimal interference within your gameplay.
Players will have the power to join or create multiple groups so Alliance SOS can be used for multiple other games as needed, equipping players with different sets of gaming teammates in various groups. This feature is especially useful if a team has a specialized player and needs to notify them to join and defend with their unique skillset or abilities.
Alliance SOS Pledge Perks:
Since the start, a significant amount of funds and effort have been poured into Alliance SOS to bring it to its current stage. With continual sacrifice, dedication, and collaboration from their team, they have approached the final steps needed to officially launch the application.
