What is game design?

Game design is system of rules, scripts, interactions and solutions which forms the gameplay. Good game design:

  • explains to the player why he is in the game;
  • offers a call, but does not overload;
  • pleases with discoveries and surprises;
  • stimulates the desire to continue.

Our task is to create not just levels, but experience . We are designing a mechanics that works in synergia with the plot, style, genre and expectations of the audience.

The producer is a conductor who holds in his hands the entire score of the project. He is responsible for:

  • Management of the development of terms and tasks;
  • release strategy, budgets and teams;
  • communication between the customer and the team;
  • Quality control at all stages.
