Nightingale is a unique survival game set in a shared, Victorian-inspired fantasy world where players craft and navigate its perilous landscapes with friends. This gaslamp fantasy realm features procedurally generated areas, role-playing elements, and captivating lore. Magic Media was thrilled to bring our security expertize to this project, ensuring a safe experience for all players.
Our Role in Nightingale’s Development
Inflexion Studios enlisted our team during Nightingale’s development as they prepared for its launch. Our extensive experience in delivering cybersecurity solutions for gaming projects, particularly through white box penetration testing, was crucial in securing Nightingale’s gameplay experience.
White Box testing is a thorough, recommended, and complete analysis and testing of your game’s security. Offering our security team a complete, unhindered look at your game and its code, it all but guarantees that every vulnerability or manipulatable piece of code is found and secured against dangerous hackers and malicious actors.
Thorough Security Testing
Our first step was to conduct a comprehensive security test of Nightingale, ensuring no vulnerabilities were overlooked. Built on Unreal Engine, Nightingale presented unique security challenges, requiring us to tailor our approach to bolster the game’s defenses. We also focused on the game’s live service elements, aiming to secure real-time interactions and networking. Given the online nature and consistent online check-ins for live service elements, we wanted to ensure Nightingale’s code was rock solid against any malicious attempt.
Key Areas of Focus
Our security assessments covered numerous critical areas to ensure a robust set of features, including:
– Physics
– Party system
– Matchmaking
– Class and tier systems
– Realm management
– Inventory management
– A diverse range of skills
– Crafting and construction
– PvE/PvP dynamics
Ensuring a Safe Player Experience
Magic Media’s involvement was instrumental in assuring players of Nightingale’s reliability and safety. We meticulously examined the game to provide a secure environment for all who venture into its worlds. Thanks to our equally meticulous security report and regression testing, our penetration testers ensured the Nightingale team had every detail they needed to address and secure themselves against all potential threats and vulnerabilities we had discovered.
With our expertize in white box penetration testing and security fortification, players can confidently explore Nightingale’s captivating realms, knowing their experience is safeguarded.
