Summary
As an economics graduate with a lifelong passion for gaming, I found my calling in game development, especially RPGs. I excel in creating engaging loot systems and balancing risk-reward dynamics, focusing on meaningful progression. I aim to transform the often-criticized aspect of grinding into a rewarding experience, ensuring players' time is well spent. My expertise lies in seamlessly integrating these elements into RPGs, setting my games apart in a market where many consistently fail to captivate the players' interest.

- I built the game system from the ground up and designed every aspect to create a completely original game that hasn't been done before. The game was developed into a playable version to ensure it offers a fun experience.
- Recruited programmers.
- Managed the game development process.
- Designed and worked on both the worlds and the interiors.
- Worked on finding the best assets to suit the game including sprites, animations, music, sound effects, and UI. Some of them I edit myself to fit better into the game.
- Fine-tuned every single mechanic by myself including the stats and the shop (including price balance).
- Reached out to online communities to find playtesters and managed their feedback to improve the game. I did all this through Discord because I have been using it for 5-6 years.
- I did marketing all by myself. Reached 250 wishlists in a month.
- After launch, I managed the community to make sure to get better feedback.
