[OPEN] Basekill | Game Designer (6+ Years Experience)

Introduction

Hey there, I am Basekill. I joined Roblox in 2012 and have been developing on the platform since 2014. I am looking to gain experience working with new people and expand my work portfolio.

I have written a Medium article on Retention:
“From the Devs”: How Social Loops Keep Players Playing, by Basekill | by Roblox Developer Relations | Developer Baseplate | Medium

I am a Game Designer at:

Game Consultant Service

One core component missing from many development teams is the lack of a Game Designer. My expertise focuses on ensuring that games are molded into fun, memorable experiences. I help teams clarify and improve their vision of their game. As berezaa puts it: “the mechanic design of your game is just as important as the scripting and building and art and polish, if not more.” It is evident that game design is currently an afterthought with game design tasks commonly falling upon existing members of a development team which puts extra stress on them and means that the design may not be as high quality. I focus on creating and transforming ideas into practical designs.

Very nice! Like your Graphic Design.
Also, could you say orientational price per hour for graphic design, etc. ?
It would help… Otherwise! Really nice!

Thanks!
I don’t normally take graphic design commissions but if I do it would have to be around 4k Robux an hour. Game design rates will be higher than this and are work dependent.

Could you give us an example price for Game Design Consultant if we just put it together as a one time payment? I am guessing about $500 (or 300k R$) because you’d work for at least a week.

The price would depend on what type of consultancy you want and the scale.
Please send me a DM on Twitter @BasekillRBX so we can discuss things further.
Could you also send me a link to your game?
Thanks!
