Case Study: From a Sketch to a Bestseller
Project Name: Galactic Merchants
The Challenge:
The client envisioned a space-themed economic game but lacked concrete mechanics to bring it to life. They needed a medium-weight strategy game for 2-4 players with high replayability.
The Solution:
I designed an engaging pick-up-and-deliver system complemented by a dynamic action-selection rondel, ensuring varied gameplay paths and meaningful decisions. Through five distinct prototyping iterations, the core systems were meticulously balanced and refined, transforming a nascent idea into a robust gameplay experience.
The Result:
"Galactic Merchants" not only successfully funded well over its target on Kickstarter but quickly sold out its initial print run. It is now in its second printing, celebrated by players for its deep strategy and elegant mechanics.
