The first game from Mega Crit Games is 'Slay the Spire', a fusion of deck-building and rogue-likes that sold over 1 million copies in its first year after launching on Steam Early Access. This talk tackles how the team approached balancing for 'Slay the Spire'. In particular, it looks at how the Mega Crit team took a metric- driven focus early in development, and continued to make heavy use of data driven development throughout the early access process. It'll also look at how they utilized and engaged with community feedback on game balance, while maintaining game feel and difficulty over a year of constant updates and changes.
Takeaway
Attendees will learn about how Mega Crit Games approaches game balance, with a focus on how metrics and feedback can be used to improve a game over time.
Intended Audience
This talk is intended for any developer focused on improving gameplay. The talk is not technical, but having knowledge of card games will help significantly.
