Game Balance. The Exact Science of Game Design

Game Balance. The Exact Science of Game Design

In the field of game design, balancing is something like black magic. This process allows the game designer to make the game fair to players and provide them with just the right level of difficulty that makes the process engaging... and sufficiently hardcore, without letting the game become too predictable. This requires simultaneous use of mathematics, psychology, and sometimes knowledge from other fields, such as economics and game theory.
