Dang Dong Q.

I help game teams design clear, engaging, and scalable gameplay systems, with a focus on progression, economy, retention, and player experience. My work includes gameplay systems, core loops, progression and difficulty balancing, economy analysis, FTUE, collection and goal systems, competitive research, and implementation-ready game design documentation. I currently work as a Game Designer / Design Analyst on an F2P mobile game, where I research and analyze progression, economy, retention, and player-facing systems. A significant part of my work involves breaking down successful F2P games, identifying the rules and structures behind their systems, and translating those findings into formulas, tuning parameters, balance models, and specifications that developers can implement and iterate on. I also have hands-on experience designing and prototyping games across puzzle, arcade, roguelite, RPG, tower defense, and narrative-driven genres. Highlights: • 170+ hours of professional F2P mobile game analysis and design work on Upwork. • Designed CHICK CHICK, ranked Top 7 out of 206 entries for Fun Factor and Top 17 for Effort at My First Jam! 2026. • Designed gameplay systems, progression, tutorials, levels, and technical design documentation across multiple projects. • Experienced in competitive research and reverse-engineering progression, economy, retention, and gameplay structures from successful mobile games. I work closely with developers to turn design goals into concrete rules, numbers, edge cases, tuning variables, and implementation-ready specifications. If you need help analyzing an existing game, improving progression or economy, designing gameplay systems, balancing content, or turning a design direction into something your development team can implement and test, I can help.
