Game Design

The Signal - Goose Byte

Tutorial

During my time at Goose Byte, several iterations of the game tutorial took place over a period of eight months. My contributions included, but were not limited to:

Learning basic movement

Balancing

I was also responsible for balancing several aspects of the game:

- The economy of resources, crafting, and base construction

- The economy of research points and the skill tree

- The loot tables of enemies and resources

- Weapon stats (with Alejandro Cordoba)

- Enemy stats and behaviors (with Samuel Séguin)

All of this was documented in a Google Sheet shared with the rest of the team, as well as on our wiki hosted on Confluence.

Documentation

When I joined The Signal, all game information was scattered across Miro boards and sticky notes.

Using Confluence, I created a wiki that consolidated:

All information related to game balancing
Game loops and how they are interconnected
Resources, associated recipes, and their locations
Enemies and all associated information
Sections for tracking the progression of the game’s story
