Who they are
Game design isn't 'we're looking for fun' — it's drawing a core loop (action → reward → motivation) and validating it, building the economy spreadsheet, tuning the progression curve against playtest data. This Pixmate writes game design documents (GDDs), reads briefs through MDA (Mechanics → Dynamics → Aesthetics), and ships balance tables.
