Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of a Game Designer 🎮👨‍🎨

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a game designer? At Eruptious Games, every day brings new challenges, creative breakthroughs, and, of course, playtesting! Here’s a sneak peek into a typical day in the life of a game designer working on Krypto-Nine or one of our other upcoming games 🎲✨

Morning Brainstorming: Sparking Creativity ☕💡

The day usually starts with a cup of coffee and some brainstorming. Whether we’re thinking up new mechanics, tweaking rules, or sketching out character designs, mornings are the perfect time to get those creative juices flowing!

For Krypto-Nine this often meant revisiting feedback from the previous day’s playtest sessions and thinking of ways to improve the game. 💭

Tip: Keep a notebook or whiteboard handy to jot down ideas as they come. You never know when inspiration will strike! 📝

Collaboration Time: Meeting with the Team 🤝🗣️

Late morning is usually spent in meetings with other team members. Whether we’re discussing art direction, testing new mechanics, or planning our next marketing move, teamwork was (and is) definitely the key to making Krypto-Nine a success! 

Regular team meetings ensure everyone is on the same page and working toward the same goal. Use these moments to exchange ideas and feedback! 📅

Leading into the afternoons, time is often reserved for playtesting! This is where we get to see how the game works in action. With each playtest brought new insights into how players were interacting with the game—and what needed fine-tuning.

Never skip playtesting! It’s the best way to see how your game really plays and identify any issues before production. 👀

Wrapping Up: End-of-Day Reflection 🌅📊

At the end of the day, we take some time to reflect on what we accomplished. Did the brainstorming session lead to any new ideas? Did the playtest go smoothly? This reflection helps us plan for the next day and keep our creative momentum going.

A day in the life of a game designer is full of creativity, collaboration, among many other aspects of building an amazing end result. By balancing brainstorming sessions, team collaboration, and rigorous testing, we bring games like Krypto-Nine to life.
