Do you develop F2P or F2E games? Then you’ll know that @blockchain games are becoming more complex. @machinationsio, a browser-based tool lets you reduce costs, monitor KPIs, and test @Web3 games. Learn more on our blog: https://t.co/7CGH2Fxm5I https://t.co/5biICPS6KV
Building systems & economies is hard, especially in web3. A bad economy can kill your company. Thanks to @machinationsio you can now create & simulate your economy like a Game Economy Designer! Thanks @MatthewSWMorris for this amazing private workshop 👾 Economy secured. https://t.co/5SFhxs05rq
Interesting @gamedev / @gamedesign discovery today. If you create a "turn token" as a resource in @machinationsio, you can build a rudimentary turn-based tabletop game prototype. Here's a link to "Nim" for 2 players. Might try snakes-and-ladders next! https://t.co/JVs3OcKbn1
IF ONLY I COULD FOCUS FOR A MOMENT and stop playing with @machinationsio I might actually get some work done. Nobody asked for a reward loop for the game but imma give it to them :)))
Whole other level of learning with @machinationsio on @tokengineering happening right now 💕! @Web3 @ammdesign @token https://t.co/bMc2TsEgNw
So, I used @machinationsio to design a diagram about what I think happens in the brain, based on some neuroscience, that causes the feeling of frustration. 🧵explaining the system 👇 https://t.co/GJfXQl2MhA
.@machinationsio's @MatthewSWMorris has a fantastic presentation on designing web3 economies, very applicable outside of gaming as well. Highly recommend watching it! https://t.co/XwAAzzT1xe
Also check out the very cool @machinationsio tool - it's a powerful game flow simulator we're using to ensure good gameplay and economy balance for Void Runners. Read more about how we work with it here: https://t.co/F7zHdjNL0A https://t.co/hhmvbLFKZG
🕹️Fun game + healthy game economy is the way to success 💯 Sharing our vision on this, we have published our Manifesto for Sustainable Game Economies, detailing 3 design pillars and best practices for building good @gameeconomy 🔖Check it out: https://t.co/uy46abQaum @GameDev
Building games can involve complex economies & systems which is why @machinationsio exists! Use their online tool to design and simulate your game before writing any code. https://t.co/20ZnVBvc6K @gametoolstuesday @indiegame @indiedev @indiegamedev @gamedev @gamedevelopment https://t.co/n2UNFQdNFT
Foundation & Academia
Machinations was originally developed as an academic product by Joris Dormans during his PhD at the University of Amsterdam. Together with Ernest Adams, he co-authored “Game Mechanics: Advanced Game Design”. The book teaches you to craft mechanics that generate challenging, enjoyable, and well-balanced gameplay and we strongly recommend a copy.
