I own the feature design for the guild system rework on Seafight at Bigpoint. Before that, I designed and released roughly 6–7 live events a year, and I still design events alongside it.

“Due to his consistently excellent performance, Claudio will continue working with us as a freelance game designer. He carried out all assigned design tasks independently and with exceptional care.”
A guild system rework, an event interface that became the standard pattern, and an expansion relaunch, all shipped.
I own the feature design for the rework of Seafight's guild system. The first update reset every Guild Island, cut the cap to five islands per guild after player feedback, regrouped island bonuses into tiers and added passive bonuses for every guild member and 30 Battlepoint ranks.
Players were reading an FAQ on the Seafight forum to work out what an event required. I designed a single in-game window showing tracked activities, progress and the one-time completion reward. It shipped in a smaller seasonal event, needed no changes after launch, and became the standard pattern across Seafight events.
Atlantis launched to weak adoption and poor reception. I worked on the redesign, using live data and player feedback to find where players dropped out. The relaunch opened the expansion to every player and reworked onboarding, early progression and reward visibility.

Harbour Town is my own idle game. I designed its economy and progression, from a 14-tier fleet to a reset that rewards waiting, and tuned it against simulated ten-hour play. It runs right here in the browser.
