What problem does it solve?
Game balance issues like broken progressions, degenerate strategies, and economy imbalances can ruin player experience, and manually cross-referencing all balance data, formulas, and design documents is time-consuming and prone to oversight.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-domain balance audits: Checks combat, economy, progression, and loot systems for outliers, broken mechanics, and degenerate strategies.
- Design-aligned validation: Compares actual in-game values against intended design targets from game design documents to catch unintended deviations.
- Actionable reporting: Generates structured reports with prioritized fixes, outlier breakdowns, and progression analysis to guide tuning work.
- Use Case: After adjusting car upgrade costs or handling stats in your racing game, use this skill to identify if any parts are strictly better than others or if the in-game economy has broken resource loops.
