Job description
In this role, the game designer focuses on the economy of progression, rewards, events, offers, and new content. You’ll need to understand how much gold, emeralds, and other resources players earn and spend, and identify where new content may start to devalue existing systems.
This is not an isolated role-it is important to see the bigger picture and understand how the game economy impacts monetization, balance, PvP, events, and long-term player motivation. We’re looking for someone with strong systems thinking, knowledge of the 4X market, experience working on LiveOps and/or mid-core projects, and a solid understanding of how game economies influence player behavior.
What You’ll Do
- Own features from concept through post-mortem.
- Design the economy of events, rewards, progression, and offers.
- Understand resource loops, dynamic systems, and game economics.
- Work with analytics before and after launch.
- Balance the value of new content so that it strengthens the product rather than undermining existing systems.
- Collaborate with Product Owners, analysts, developers, UI/UX designers, artists, and other stakeholders.
Requirements
- 5+ year of experience in Game Design
- Strong knowledge of successful mid-core games (Battler), including LiveOps practices.
- Experience working on LiveOps for existing projects using a data-driven approach.
