Playflare

Our team at Playflare has been deeply immersed in the gaming industry, crafting a wide range of games over the years. Beyond being our profession, game development is a genuine passion and hobby for most of us. For quite some time, we've believed there must be a superior approach to game balancing and design, one that doesn't entail endless days in MS Excel. It's evident that many designers and developers grapple with the same challenge repeatedly: defining rules and creating data in Excel, handing it over to developers, awaiting implementation, play-testing, gathering data, making adjustments, and then repeating this lengthy, error-prone cycle. Moreover, post-launch, a transition to a different phase unfolds. As developers, we aspire to fine-tune the game's economy, experiment with balance tweaks, and introduce new features. Typically, all of this necessitates seamless collaboration among designers, engineers, and data analysts. We believe in empowering designers to measure, analyze, and adjust game design and balance without additional dependencies. Over the years, we've developed numerous tools to address some of these challenges. However, every new project initiates a cycle of building fresh tools, making mistakes, and gaining valuable insights. We now believe we've reached a stage where a significant shift is warranted. Enter Playflare. We're confident that Playflare can resolve most of these issues, simplifying the lives of game designers and developers. Playflare is not a gaming/rendering engine - it's a web platform created to tackle specific game design challenges. It's about defining the core models of your gaming systems, creating the underlying data, building system rules, measuring the game's state, and making precise adjustments. Playflare offers a user-friendly set of tools: • Through our intuitive visual editor, you can create core models for your game and define dependencies between them. • Rules will help generate data for these models and outline how models should adapt based on various factors. • This can be seamlessly integrated into most modern gaming engines and accessed via an API. • Once the integration is complete, you can dynamically tweak system rules and data in real-time. • Before proceeding to live testing, you can develop scenarios to validate that your rules align with your expectations, right on the platform. Thanks to our tight integration with your game design, we can collect data on how your player base interacts with your design systems. This enables us to construct real-time analytics, offering valuable insights into how your game features are utilized. It also empowers you to conduct A/B tests on the design. We have an exciting roadmap for the future, but our immediate goal is to share the core of our product (models, rules, and scenarios) with a broader audience and observe its functionality and engagement among designers and developers. To achieve this, we're extending an invitation to a select group of users for early access, starting closer to the end of this quarter (Q4 2023). We aim to enhance our product based on your valuable feedback before ultimately releasing it to a wider audience. Your thoughts and feedback on this concept would be immensely appreciated.
