AI agent for game developers
Game Economy Balance Simulation Agent
Economy changes that meet progression targets before they ship
What it does
Small changes to rewards or prices can quietly wreck a game's progression, and players find the exploit within days. When the designer changes rewards, prices or drop rates, this agent loads the economy config and player models, then simulates casual, regular and heavy players over several weeks of play. It tracks currency balances, time to key milestones and what each player type buys. It checks the results against design targets: unlock times, sinks matching sources and no route that skips progression. When results fail, it names the main causes, suggests a tweak and simulates again. When live telemetry exists, it compares the simulation with real player behavior to make sure the models still hold. The designer approves any change. Edge case: a new paid bundle that lets players skip a month of progress is flagged for review.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Economy values changed
- Load config and player models
- Simulate weeks of play per player type
- Measure balances, unlock times and sinks
- Do results meet targets with no exploits?If not: suggest a tweak and simulate again. Back to step 3.
- Compare simulation with live telemetry
- Do player models match live behavior?If not: update model rates from telemetry and re-run. Back to step 3.
- Designer approves the changeThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Balance report saved
How it decides
It compares simulated progression with targets and suggests the smallest change that brings it back.
- Unlock times within 15% of target
- Sources and sinks balanced per week
- Pay-to-skip beyond limits is flagged
Make it yours
Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.
- Player types

What keeps you in control
It always asks you first
- Shipping economy changes
Hard limits
- Never pushes config to live
- Never changes prices for real money
It stops when
- Done: targets met
- Stop: player models outdated
