Game designer. I simulate game economies and break down the math behind mechanics you play every day.

Made this #IdleGame Prestige Curve Simulation. Every prestige wipes your progress and makes the next threshold 3× harder. But your income multiplier keeps growing. Feels like a trap on paper but pulls the player in to go for more! Made in https://t.co/G38Vx87Csy

Hey Game Designer and Game Dev friends. Participated in my first solo Game Jam and made this game prototype called Splice Lab! Great Experience!
Here is the concept art I made for the main characters. Will be posting more screenshots and recordings soon.

Hey Game Designers, especially beginners. Wrote about game economy design for #f2p games. Check it out if you want a beginners guide.

hey Game Devs and Game Designers. Have been working on a new game idea today, pretty excited actually. Thinking about building in public, any thoughts on that? Is it worth it and will it help in the future for the launch.

@maseylia The gameplay and the art look really cool. The vibe reminds me of Adventure Times!

@KryyssX I am asking about idle games as a genre

[Hiroshi | Game Economy Designer @GameSimulations]

hey Game Devs and Game Designers, are we seeing a big popularity loss of idle games and some other genres emerging?

[Hiroshi | Game Economy Designer @GameSimulations]

@KakapoCalypse Yeah, agree. Too many games just copying each other and flooding the market. And with AI now it's even easier to clone mechanics and assets and push something out fast for a quick buck. So yeah, twists aren't optional anymore, they're the only way to stand out.

@IchitGame i hear you, overplanning is my worst enemy

[Hiroshi | Game Economy Designer @GameSimulations]

hey Game Devs and Game Designers, if you could redo one design decision from your last project, what would it be? #gamedesign #indiedev

[Hiroshi | Game Economy Designer @GameSimulations]

@chase_8bitroots solo dev is tough, but it's never too late so, if you start now, you'll be eventually there

[Hiroshi | Game Economy Designer @GameSimulations]

@brilliancegames every game is basically a prototype for the next one, the devs who keep that loop going are the ones who actually get better. respect

[Hiroshi | Game Economy Designer @GameSimulations]

@playmygamesnow that power + no fall damage was basically a free game mode and they patched it out of existence. painful to read honestly

[Hiroshi | Game Economy Designer @GameSimulations]

@playmygamesnow bro the high fives are the metric. when players are literally jumping up and down screaming that's not a bug, that's a feature you stumbled into. the best emergent gameplay moments are the ones you didn't plan, and decision to "fix" it is such a classic creative director move.

Game designers, what's the hardest player behavior you've ever had to design around? #gamedesign #gamedev

[Hiroshi | Game Economy Designer @GameSimulations]

Made this quick sim of XP scaling in a Survival game.
Love seeing the nodes interacting.

Are Game Engines and Game Design Tools the same? Wrote about what game designers actually need: not generic game dev stuff, but tools that are specifically made for them and how they are different.
