My Time With Kixeye Canada
I started my journey with Kixeye on May 2019 when I just got my Canadian PR and only landed in Vancouver in March 20. We parted ways in March 2022. I was a Game designer on Battle Pirates responsible for PvE/PvP content, Level/Target design, Gameplay design and Live-Ops/Events design. Battle Pirates is a Facebook Online Strategy game that was 8 years old when I joined. I breathe new life into it, creating new levels and mechanics that excite old players and bring in new ones. I was responsible for tuning damage for levels in Live events to ensure the event is profitable and hits our daily target.
Game Design
During my time with Kixeye I got to experience the excitement of working on a Live-Ops game. The strategy/RTS genre was one of my weakest in terms of familiarity but to my surprise I was able to jump right in and apply my knowledge of game design to the targets easily. I learnt a lot working with a live-ops product crew, about working with stats and analytics from previous events and tuning the content to help keep players engaged and still surprise them every now and then.
