System Design & Balancing - Meaningful choices
 

In Game 01, is a like a RPG version of Slay the Spire, in a 3D world. It consists of deckbuilding combats, socials events & explorations. So creating fun experience, with high replayability 

 

For this game, I had the ownership of several specific features including designing Encounter Types, Cards, Encounter Pooling System and Loot Pooling System:

​

• Encounters are the main gameplay element of this game. The combat encounter was the first game mechanic which was designed before I joined the project, so I had to create a list for other encounters which could complement the combat. The result was a design proposal including the design, a mock-up, time & difficulty estimation (both considering design, tech & art needs), description of MVP & full version, and lastly, priority based on all the above condition. The chosen encounters went through a few more rounds of iteration after implementation.

• Other than exploring the map, the most time player spend in this game is in the combat. And the effect on the cards and how they effect each other are the core of gameplay. I was in charge off creating different cards and the focus was to design effects which create fun and different dynamics based on using each specific tile in specific situations. This design process included sever rounds of prototyping based on team members and playtest results which resulted in fun combos with some crazy attack numbers 

• I also worked on rarity, durability, category and balancing the numbers on each tile.

• As a rogue-like, one of the pillars of the game was to create an experience which feels different every time the player restarts the game. This created a need to automate the distribution of both encounters and loot. I created rule sets for how to control the randomization of these systems, with tweakable values (for easier balancing) based on design, narrative and tech needs & limitations. Lastly I created a tool proposal document for programmers with all the needed information as well as scheduling different meetings to ensure alignment and easy hand-off.
