CGC Games
Game Designer/Balance
Nov 2012 - present
I am responsible for balancing cards in Terrene Odyssey in order to provide a fun game experience that stems from a variety of viable tactics. I also pitch ideas for cards I think might need to be created to help push the game to a balanced state. I'm involved in the major play tests as well, where I play games with players, take notes on how the players use cards and which cards are not well received. After the successful funding on kickstarter, I played a big role in designing the cards created for stretch goals and perks.
