Project Information
Released Project: Beta Release December 2022
Duration: 1 Month (Furthering Production in April 2024)
Balancing cards to make gameplay challenging but enjoyable was a difficult task and needed lots of time. Overall balancing was hard but extremely rewarding to see the final outcome.
Work should be spread across multiple weeks of the project because crunch should not be expected at the end of a development cycle.
Understanding a game's potential from analytics and player feedback can give inspiration for the game to continue on with a bigger team. This is a situation I never thought I would be in and it super motivating to continue this game and future games I work on.
