Design & Data Implementation
Merge Magic is a Match 3 free to play game developed in Unity for iOS and Android.
This game brought on a new theme and style to its predecessor, Merge Dragons, with which it shares much of it’s mechanics. As a team, we created and maintained this live product which is enjoyed by many players around the world.
I collaborated with developers, UI designers, and data analysts to design gameplay, levels and events as well as robust documentation for the features to which I had been assigned. A data led approach to design required me to use Excel to balance game economies. I’ve also been the primary designer on the live-ops team.
For this feature, I started by analysing the tower mechanics in Merge Dragons, identifying key elements and overall progression. Understanding the original design’s flow and player experience was crucial.
Next, I mapped out the core features of the tower and came up with a plan to integrate the feature into Merge Magic and later collaborated with developers, working on data implementation and documentation.
