A light card drafting, dungeon building game by Thunderworks Games in their long line of games in the Roll Player universe. I was hired through Brieger Creative to lead development on this project, taking it from an early prototype to a finalized game. Made $163,500 on Kickstarter.

My roles:

• Project management: Led team of three developers. Communicated progress with the publisher, original designer, and graphic designers.

• Game development: Refined rules, created new systems, adjusted mechanical and narrative elements on 150 cards. Balanced scoring mechanisms. Added core “dungeon path” mechanic, bringing the game closer to audience thematic expectations.

• Content design: Created dozens of new scoring conditions to drive new strategies and lines of play.

• Solo mode design: Led development of the game’s single-player mode.

• Rules: Wrote and edited the rule book.

• Testing: Led dozens of tests with varying audiences and meticulously recorded data. Created online Tabletop Simulator modules to facilitate online tests.
