Tomorrow we’ll be hosting the latest PocketGamer.biz MasterClass workshop on Game Economy Design – and there’s still time to grab your ticket!
The event kicks off at 4pm BST on Wednesday, September 18th. Attendees will learn how to build sustainable long-term engagement into your game, with the aim to give you the skills required to balance your game economy in a manner that ensures both player commitment and satisfaction, as well as clarity and efficiency in terms of approach and implementation.
The online workshop will include group exercises using a digital whiteboard to explore the key themes, with practical examples focused on:
Progression and power curves: Find out how to use ‘system thinking’ to evolve players from their first time user experience to a sustainable long-term engagement without falling prey to the dangers of Power Creep.
Sinks and sources: Learn how to model the ‘sinks and sources’ of different currencies and resources to ensure balance between progression and grind.
Resources, anchors and ratchets: Discover tools which can help make the allocation of rewards more effective and avoid overly complicating the analysis of your game economy.
Target audience: We recommend that attendees have some understanding of the business of games and product lifecycle. The class is intended for game designers and commercial management who want to understand the best strategies to develop sustainable game experiences.
The webinar will be hosted Fundamentally Games CEO Oscar Clark. Since working as the home architect for PlayStation Home, Oscar literally wrote the book Games As A Service, published in 2014.
