What is Math for Game Designers?
Are you a game designer? We help you enhance your craft by harnessing the power of mathematics.
We offer game analysis services, answer mathematical questions, and provide guidance on structure, innovation, and balance for your designs.
We regularly share insights, quizzes and game analyses on social media, we are writing books on math and game design, and we collaborate with schools, researchers, content creators and game designers.
Our endeavors
Matheludic Analyses
We answer mathematical questions (probability, game theory, balancing, etc.) and write in-depth analyses of existing games and prototypes, unveiling the math behind them.
Are you interested in a matheludic analysis of your prototype? Check this out!
Social Media
We create accessible and engaging content that shows how anyone can apply mathematics in game design, regardless of their background. Do you want to discover some interesting mathematical aspect of your game? Let us know and we can collaborate!
