Where have I been? What’s the plan for 2021?

Hey everyone!

Long time no see! I hope you’re all doing well in 2021. Last year was kinda crazy for me (and everyone else) but this year I want to get back to writing design posts, I’m shooting for about a post a month. I don’t have the time I had before to make posts as often, but I think I can still do a good amount of research and put together a post every month. I’ll be starting next week with a look at some ways to do loot boxes without making them overly predatory (and still keeping the lights on at the studio). 

Oh also, before I forget, if you’re in Australia my new game just Soft Launched, NBA Ballstars! We’re working with Netmarble to bring our take on basketball to the Apple App Store and Google Play store. I’ll be running the LiveOps and the Economy for this title. I hope you enjoy it! And if you’re not in Australia, it’ll be available worldwide soon!

Thanks again, and I’ll see you next week!

Atari Combat: Tank Fury Released!

Hey everyone!

Hope you’re all doing well this particularly rough year. I just wanted to give you a heads up, my new game, Atari Combat: Tank Fury, was just released on Android and iOS!

I focused mostly on the economy and the early onboarding, but more information can be found in my portfolio. Anyways, here are the links to the game in the appropriate stores, check it out!

P.S. I promise to do my best to update this blog with another design analysis before the year is up. See you soon!

Mid Year Update

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give a brief update on the whirlwind that is my life in the video games industry. Back in March I started working for Level-5 IA and got engaged! Between planning the wedding, work and trying to further sharpen my C# knowledge, I haven't had as much time to blog or do as much research as I would have liked. Though I plan on getting back into blogging regularly, it will be some time until I'm able to get around to it again. Until then I found another Game Design blog which I think is excellent, Stanislav 'Farlander' Costiuc. He goes really in depth into design concepts and does videos which are easy to follow. Check him out!

Aside from that I'm preparing for E3. I'll be going all three days this year! So if you're going or just in the area feel free to reach out and we can grab a bite or get coffee.

Oh! And don't forget to check back here as well from time to time! I'll be back soon enough.

I'll see you guys next time,

Scott
