Live Economy Optimization & Progression Rebalancing

Live

My Role

Lead Game Economy Designer & Systems Balancer

Responsible for progression pacing, resource flow structure, rebirth scaling logic, sink design, and long-term retention balancing.

Positioned as senior economy authority defining structure, not just tuning numbers.

What I Personally Built

Full progression curve redesign from early to mid-game
Mining damage scaling rebalance
Slime multiplier restructuring
Rebirth multiplier formula redesign
Upgrade cost exponential smoothing
Currency sink reintroduction plan
Soft cap and inflation control system
Mid-term milestone unlock structure

Key Systems Owned

1️⃣ Core Mining Economy

Redefined damage to resource ratio to avoid early hyper inflation while preserving early dopamine spikes.

Implemented:

Controlled exponential scaling instead of linear stacking
Upgrade breakpoints to create visible power jumps
Reduced runaway multiplier stacking

2️⃣ Slime Multiplier System

Originally pure stat multipliers causing passive inflation.

Redesigned into:

Tiered rarity impact scaling
Diminishing returns stacking logic
Identity driven slime roles instead of flat numbers
Clear rarity separation curves

Outcome: Healthier long term scaling without killing short term excitement.

3️⃣ Rebirth Structure 2.0

Problem: Flat multiplier rebirth created repetitive grind loop.

Solution:

Rebirth tier ladder
Visible prestige milestones
Unlock based rebirth rewards
Non linear scaling multiplier
Structured mid game wall smoothing

Focus was to turn rebirth from reset mechanic into aspirational loop.

4️⃣ Currency Velocity Control

Identified: High earn rate, low meaningful sinks.

Implemented:

Upgrade pacing gates
Premium vs soft currency separation
Event driven spending moments
Soft inflation ceiling

Goal: Keep players spending consistently instead of hoarding or burning out.

Design Goals Solved

Engagement vs Grind

Mining simulators collapse when progression becomes idle grind. Balanced pacing to maintain momentum while avoiding wall spikes.

Inflation Control

Prevented exponential multiplier stacking that breaks late game economy.

Mid Game Retention

Introduced visible milestone rewards to extend D7 and D14 engagement.

Impact

Smoother early progression
Reduced mid game churn
Better power curve readability
Increased perceived progression speed without breaking economy

Precise KPIs under NDA.

Economy Complexity

Medium to High - 6.5/10

Layered multiplier stacking, rebirth scaling, pet rarity curves, and sink balancing.
