Scott Fine Email and Phone Number
I have over a dozen years of game design experience, 11+ shipped games, and 8+ years specializing in systems and economy design. Currently I work as a senior game systems designer at Skydance Interactive, where I’m building the economy, combat systems, and game balance on our next title; Behemoth.Previously I worked for Kung Fu Factory where I built the economy and led the team that managed live operations for the #2 sports game in the App Store in April 2021 – NBA BallStars. I also designed the onboarding experience for 3 titles and planned out the player’s journey. Collecting feedback and analytics my team tuned the player’s experience and promoted monetization strategies which retained players and crushed our KPIs by more than 20%.Outside of work you can find me in my local game store with my hand painted Warhammer 40,000 armies duking it out on the table top or trying to outrun my shepherd mix puppy.I also like meeting new people over a cup of coffee. Feel free to reach out at scottmfine@hotmail.com or DM here on LinkedIn.Competencies: Unreal 5, Jira, Excel, Google Sheets, Google Query Language, SQL, Game Balance, Miro, Core Systems, Player Progression, Economy Balance, Photoshop, LiveOps, Data Analytics
