Prologue

Kingdom Raids was a NFT game project that I was invited to join and help tuning their game design, economy, every aspect of gameplay and worldbuilding. I was managing a team of 2 game designers, excluding myself.

Tool Design

One of the pain points of game design is inputting raw data into database. Having about 30 data sheets, with each of them can contain up to thousands rows and dozens columns, we did have to find a solution to make the work less painful.

With the resource from dev team was scarce, I had to make some makeshift data formatting tools using Google Sheet syntax, functions and scripts. Just input some core data values, click the automate button, and Voila! We had a fully formatted dataset.

According from our benchmark, it did save nearly 70% working time, which mean we worked about 3 times faster, and 3 time less boring (lol).

Epilogue

The character design, world building, systems and concepts, everything in this product was pure effort, but the crypto market crashed down in 2022 force the game to be transfer to another development team. You can still checkout the trailer of the game below, which I did contribute the storyboard. Hope to see you in another product!
