Hothead Games: April 2017 - August 2019

Idle Golf is a mobile, free-to-play game about managing a Driving Range. Players earn cash, spend that cash on upgrades, so that they can progress ever further in the game, unlocking new maps and fun characters. I was the only designer on the project from early in its prototyping phase, through its development, and into live-ops. I was responsible for overseeing the overall design of the game’s features and balance, and for establishing and maintaining the project vision over the course of its development.
