My very first role as a professional-level designer. My role was to create a challenging, physics based puzzles that challenged and engaged players to keep them coming back for more.
Role:
Systems Designer
Developed and fine-tuned the mathematical models and algorithms to determine slot probabilities and game mechanics, ensuring a balanced and engaging player experience.
Collaborated with the game design team to integrate systems seamlessly into the overall game structure, maintaining consistency and coherence.
Conducted extensive simulations and analyses to validate and adjust the game's mathematical models, ensuring fairness and fun for players.
Implemented player-centric design principles, gathering and incorporating player feedback to refine and optimize game systems for maximum enjoyment.
Worked closely with engineers and artists to ensure the implementation of systems was visually appealing and aligned with the game's aesthetic and technical requirements.
Design Process:
For "Vacation Slots," the vision was to create a captivating slot game that transported players to a virtual vacation paradise. The systems design journey began with a deep dive into the mathematics of slot probabilities, crafting algorithms that balanced challenge and reward. Regular collaboration with the game design team ensured the systems were well-integrated into the overall game experience. Simulations and player feedback were pivotal in fine-tuning the mechanics, ensuring they delivered a fun and fair experience. The iterative design process, coupled with a focus on player engagement, resulted in a game that offered a delightful escape into a world of chance and excitement, one spin at a time.
