Modelling Player Behaviour with Machinations

by Machinations Webinars

We’re looking at how Machinations can be used to test progression systems for different player profiles and play styles, ranging from casual players to your biggest whales. As well as how different players might approach your game and how this impacts their progression.

We were joined by Jeffrey Feenstra, LiveOps specialist @ PopReach who went over how he uses Machinations to optimize existing games and improve their performance and returns.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Use Machinations to simulate different player choices and play styles
  • Adjust the game balance so that all types of players get a great experience
  • Use Registers to manipulate randomness and simulate different player responses
  • Use Machinations to optimize live game balance and returns

Machinations

Machinations is a visual and interactive tool for evaluating the impact any game system, mechanic, or parameter has on your players’ experience. Entire games can be mapped and played through in Machinations, to easily spot any flaws, before writing a single line of code. Then, forecast game progression or free-to-play revenue with confidence, understand and maximize different player journeys. It's time to fuel your game design process with data, not guesswork!
