FAQ
Do I need to have a complete game before ordering?
No! Whether you have a rough idea written on a napkin, a partial card list, or a fully playable digital prototype, I can step in at any stage to design, rebalance, or document your mechanics.
Do you design game art, illustrations, or graphic assets?
This gig focuses strictly on game design, mechanics balancing, systems architecture, mathematical spreadsheets, and rulebook writing. For graphic design or card art, you will need a separate artist, though I can provide clean PDF text layouts.
What platforms do you use for playtesting and mechanic testing?
I primarily work with digital prototypes on Tabletop Simulator (TTS), Tabletopia, or clean Print & Play (PnP) PDF files you provide.
Will I own the commercial rights to the mechanics you design for my game?
Yes! Once the order is completed, you own 100% of the commercial rights to all mechanics, balance spreadsheets, and rulebook text created for your project.
