FBMDS needed to modernize its classic land-based catalog and introduce new dynamic crash games for a global, mobile-first audience. The major hurdle was transitioning legacy math, graphics, and gameplay patterns into highly performant, responsive web designs certified by the Malta Gaming Authority, while ensuring seamless adaptation across mobile, desktop, and land-based cabinets.

As a producer, I oversaw a diverse portfolio of slots, crash games, and video bingos, including high-profile IP like Ronaldinho Crash. I guided development on the Godot engine, shaping mobile-friendly UI layouts and introducing dynamic, non-repetitive animations. I also managed the integration of engaging retention mechanics like multi-level bonus rounds, extra balls, and variable-card math.

We successfully launched the “Infinity Series”. The updated mechanics, responsive design, and high-RTP math significantly increased global player retention and casino revenue.

We needed to scale a complex web3 creature-collecting RPG to support 120,000+ DAU and 2+ million pre-registrations. The core challenge was successfully merging real-time action combat with highly detailed life-sim mechanics (farming, cooking, crafting), while building a balanced, formula-driven economy robust enough to prevent market exploitation and player misbehavior.

As the game designer and product manager, I designed the elemental weapon combat and deep life-sim features like beast bonding, moods, and crafting. I established resource valuation formulas based on obtention times to anchor the economy. To execute seasonal releases, I managed reward tracking and distribution via relational databases while implementing anti-cheat criteria.

My systems successfully sustained over 120,000 DAU and 2 million pre-registrations. Establishing time-based resource values gave players a reliable market guide, while our secure gacha and database-driven distribution eliminated fraud.

The game suffered from a stale PvP meta, as players would build a single optimal team and stick to it indefinitely. Additionally, the product lacked a clear progression system to keep players motivated long-term, which threatened user retention and limited overall long-term engagement within its highly strategic, turn-based matchmaking arena.

I designed and coordinated the development of a Gacha system fueled by battle-earned Shards, combined with a stat-boosting Merge mechanic for duplicate beasts. This randomized loop disrupted the rigid meta by forcing team variety. I also established the seasonal P2A qualification criteria and managed web3 prize distributions using blockchain multisend tools.

Our gacha and merge mechanics solved meta stagnation, driving high community engagement and positive reviews. We also established a seamless, secure P2A seasonal distribution model across multiple blockchains.
