He lasted 10 months...then when back to journalism for 5 years. His last entry is now as a lead designed for some unknown game.
> Lead Designer Company Name Red Rhino Games, Inc Dates Employed Dec 2016 – Present Employment Duration 8 mos Location Virtual Studio
>I have redesigned the meta game and business model for our current project, which is a casual game coming to market very early in 2017. I've been given full design authority on some future development which is much too early to disclose. This allows me to use the full potential of the science of game neuroeconomics, which I have been developing privately since 2005. So expect to see what is possible using this new method of scientific game design by the end of 2017.
So coming in early 2017? If you look up Red Rhino Games, this is the only thing that comes up: Kali Bubble Trouble Shooter. Listed under the description:
>In-app Products $0.99 - $99.99 per item
So this is it? And he's going to apply his science of "game neuroeconomics" he's been developing privately for the last 12 years? Kali Bubble Trouble? This is the culmination of all his research? Someone tell me I'm wrong, or this guy just loves a good joke and playing the long game...
EDIT: More info in the iTunes store. Most popular transactions? In game gold and character boosts.
