“My course, created in collaboration with Magicskills.pro, aims to reveal all aspects of the role of a manager responsible for the economy and monetization in a game project. At the same time, it teaches how to bring value to the company by driving game revenue growth.
I’ve seen many instances where newcomers with an economic or analytical background entered the gaming industry and, after learning the fundamental principles of game economy design, brought more value than experienced game designers. I want as many professionals as possible, who are well-versed in creating game projects, to delve into the economic intricacies, mathematical foundations, and systematically enhance their professionalism to actively influence the profitability of a project.
The course's goal is to provide a comprehensive set of practical knowledge and theoretical foundations, enabling professionals from various fields to tackle monetization challenges wisely and master the tools needed to make this possible.”
