  • Patent number: 11524241
    Abstract: A method of improving game development is disclosed. A game model graph of a video game is created or modified using visual scripting nodes. The game model graph represents one or more game systems and/or one or more economies. The nodes are linked to game resources from the video game. Player profiles describing a plurality of different player types are accessed to be used during a simulation of the game model graph. One or more additional simulations are performed. Each of the one or more additional simulations includes executing the game model graph using the player profiles and the game resources. Data is extracted from the one or more additional simulations to determine behavior of the one or more game systems, the one or more game economies, and/or the resources within the video game over time and across the player types.
